ResumoThe article deals with Sentience as a foundation for expanding the rights of non-human animals, since humans, regardless of cognition or ability to act, are legally protected by the state.The objective is to demonstrate that a re-education and social revolution is necessary for this to happen.It is questioned whether the non-human animal needs to be equipped with the same capacities as humans in order to have moral rights and, therefore, the same legal protection, and it is shown that the fact that they do not have human-like capacities does not prevent them from having such rights.Philosophical theories such as Peter Singer, Tom Regan and Hans Jonas are presented to support the central idea of the article.The methodology used in the development of this research was the bibliographic research, carried out through the consultation of books, articles, jurisprudence and legislation that are dedicated to the study of the rights of non-human animals.The results presented are the legislative advances themselves, as well as the very veganism that is a political act.
