Animals' Rights Ignored in Justice System

New research reveals that animals, including non-human ones, can be unfairly treated when their experiences and perspectives are not taken seriously. The study argues that animals have the capacity to form opinions and be influenced by prejudice, just like humans, and that this can lead to a lack of credibility for their voices. This phenomenon, known as testimonial injustice, is often perpetuated through the support of industries like animal agriculture that dismiss the concerns of animals. The findings highlight the need to give animals a more equal voice and challenge the systemic mistreatment of non-human animals.
