The project

The term “sentience” refers to the ability of a living being to experience sensations, emotions, pleasure and suffering.

Although the concept has its roots in ancient philosophy, it gained particular significance in the 18th century through the philosopher Jeremy Bentham. In 1789, he placed animals’ capacity to suffer at the heart of moral consideration, rather than their ability to reason or speak. This approach profoundly influenced the evolution of ethical thinking towards animals.

Building on this philosophy, the Sauvagine Association supports concrete initiatives to protect sentient animals.

The place

Surrounded by vineyards on hillsides bordering woodlands and close to the Garonne River, the estate provides a habitat for many wild species, including some that are endangered.
(genette, élanion blanc, murin…).

Château de Pic-Sauvagine is also a place steeped in history, its architectural evolution bearing witness to the cultural and social changes of the past centuries.

Building on this heritage, the Sauvagine Association seeks to foster a shift in the way society views animals.
