I give more credence to the idea that some insects, and a wider range of crustaceans than just lobsters and crabs, are sentient and therefore must be inside my moral circle. But see my reply to “justsaying” above—I still have no idea what their suffering would be like, and therefore how much weight to give it. (Of course, the numbers count too.)
