This is a rare case where sentient is being used correctly. Sentient beings do have feelings, e.g. dogs and cats are sentient and can have cravings and even feel hate.
Sapient means having enough intellect to understand and reason about the situation. The post doesn't actually require that.
So we've got a lot of Homo sentients out there then?
Damn, as savage as they are
Kind of a grey area, so I'll allow it.
