The 2012 Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness led to many scientists acknowledging that animals other than humans can feel subjectively and experience qualia. In response to this, in 2014, the Institute for Science and Policy decided to create a peer-reviewed journal focused on animal sentience. The first issue of Animal Sentience appeared in 2016. A target article on pain in fish in the inaugural issue drew 45 commentary articles as well as media attention.
