Photo by Matthieu Pétiard Pigs are fascinating animals. Science shows they can solve challenging problems, love to play, display wide-ranging emotions, and have unique personalities. In short, they are both intelligent and sentient—capable of feeling. It’s clear that it is illogical and immoral to treat pigs as mere objects. In 2015, I reviewed an essay notable for its summary and distillation of research on sentience in pigs. Compiled by researchers Lori Marino and Christina M. Colvin and published in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology, “Thinking Pigs: A Comparative Review of Cognition, Emotion, and Personality in Sus domesticus” unearthed some interesting findings. The…

Humans have long hoped to communicate with extraterrestrial life, but perhaps the most intriguing messages are coming from right here on Earth. Researchers from the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) and UC Davis have documented humpback whales producing bubble rings during friendly interactions with humans, suggesting these behaviors may be a form of interspecies communication. Indeed, there might already be a complex society on Earth that has been trying to talk to us. ‘A team of researchers from SETI and UC Davis recently published a paper documenting humpback whales producing bubble rings, particularly during interactions with humans. Scientists have observed…

The monster, first seen lodged in a sheep’s eye, has already proven itself more dangerous than it looked by outsmarting humans and even playing a role in Isaac’s death. Unlike the xenomorphs, which are driven by raw aggression, the eyeball monster relies on strategy and intellect, making it stand out among the alien threats. Boy Kavalier, the young CEO pulling the strings on Neverland island, is fascinated by the creature and believes…
