Dr Andrew Crump

Dr Andrew Crump is a Lecturer in Animal Cognition & Welfare at the Royal Veterinary College, and a part-time Postdoctoral Researcher at the London School of Economics. Specialising in invertebrate sentience, he studies questions like: Which animals are sentient? Why did sentience evolve? And what does sentience mean for animal welfare? In 2021, Andrew was part of a team that advised the UK government to protect certain invertebrates in animal welfare law. The government responded by amending the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Act 2022, so it now covers octopuses, crabs, and lobsters.
