Liberation is not merely about physical freedom but also about the possibility of having an informed mind, an informed body, and informed social dynamics. A necessity to be able to actively participate in life and coexist with others. The presentation highlights what it means to be informed, from an animal point of view, and why the right to live informed is so important.

Hands-on examples from daily life will address how one can recognize and create space for an animal's desire to be informed.

The contribution will further explain how the socio-cognitive perspective provides a tool to explore and understand agency and self-determination, also within interspecies interactions. Being informed in life is fundamental–not just for giving informed consent, but also for expressing an informed 'no'–in order to grow in an evolved and anti-speciesist coexistence.
