Voici la suite de l'entretien avec Alice Di Concetto. J'ai conscience que la 1ère partie était un peu déprimante ; croyez-moi c'est me fait le même effet qu'à vous de constater tous ces blocages, toutes ces difficultés pour obtenir la moindre avancée à cet échelon qui est pourtant décisif pour les animaux en Europe. Je précise que les choses ont un peu évolué depuis l'enregistrement de cet entretien : les commissaires ont notamment été nommés, et l'espoir d'une révision semble définitivement enterré… Je vous mets dans la description un article de Mediapart qui fait le point sur tout ça. Mais je ne voudrais qu'on en sorte complètement déprimé-es ! Maintenant que l'on a tracé l'échec de la révision de la législation européenne sur le bien-être animal, il est temps d'en expliquer les raisons (spoiler : les lobbies). C'est ce que nous explique mon invitée dans cet épisode, et elle présente une autre piste vraiment intéressante bien que plus méconnue pour réduire les souffrances des animaux en Europe. Bonne écoute ! ________________________________ Références et sources citées dans l'entretien : - Dernière édition de la newsletter de Animal Law Europe - Article de Mediapart qui interroge Alice Di Concetto à propos de la nomination du nouveau commissaire à la santé et au bien-être animal - Le déficit démocratique de l'Union européenne - Le pacte vert pour l'Europe - Article d'Alice Di Concetto « Le pouvoir des lobbies privés face au mouvement de protection animale » - Un article de Faunalytics sur comment les lobbies de l'industrie animale ont réussi à faire dérailler la révision de la législation européenne - Article d'Alice Di Concetto sur la réforme de la PAC Pour suivre les dernières actualités et analyses sur ces sujets, n'hésitez pas à vous abonner à la newsletter de l'Institut européen pour le Droit de l'animal (Animal Law Europe) ________________________________ SOUTENIR : https://linktr.ee/poissonpodcast Comme un poisson dans l'eau est un podcast indépendant et sans publicité : votre soutien est indispensable pour qu'il puisse continuer à exister.

How the Meat Industry Hooks Children by Jennifer Molidor at the Center for Biological Diversity at TakeExtinctionOffYourPlate.com Original post: https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_sustainability/food-x/food-x-issue-33.html Related Episodes: 772: When Big Agriculture Funds University Experts by Abby Steketee at Faunalytics.org The Center for Biological Diversity is a non-profit working to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. Why is the Center for Biological Diversity focusing on reducing meat consumption? When it comes to the causes of environmental destruction and overconsumption of resources, the meat industry is at the top of the list. Meat production uses massive amounts of water and land, and leaves behind devastating amounts of pollution and greenhouse gases. America's livestock industry — particularly through grazing on public lands — is one of the greatest threats to endangered species and habitat. How to support the podcast: Share with others.

En mars dernier, j'ai eu le plaisir d'être invité à Lausanne en Suisse pour participer à une table ronde sur le thème « Où sont les animaux dans les luttes écologistes ? », organisée par l'EVA, les étudiantes véganes et animalistes de l'association Unipoly (l'asso écolo à l'Université de Lausanne et l'École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne), dans le cadre de la semaine de la durabilité. Pour cette table-ronde j'étais aux côtés d'Antoine Dubiau, qui était l'invité dans Comme un poisson dans l'eau d'un entretien passionnant en trois épisodes sur l'écofascisme, l'extrême-droite, l'Idée de nature en écologie, et la polémique autour d'Hugo Clément (l'entretien 21 du podcast si vous l'avez raté). Je remercie Tanguy Marbot et Gary Domeniconi et les membres de l'EVA pour cette belle invitation et l'organisation de cet événement. Références citées : - Antoine Dubiau - Écofascismes - Baptiste Morizot - L'Inexploré - Anna Tsing - Le Champignon de la fin du monde - Tribune de Bruno Latour dans le Monde sur le 'multispécisme' - Idée de Nature / Naturalisation des rapports sociaux - Charles Stépanoff - L'Animal et la Mort - Rapport Sentient Media x Faunalytics - Épisode 'Le néo-carnisme de Jocelyne Porcher' avec Axelle Playoust-Braure Sommaire : (0:00) Intro (2:10) Environnementalisme ≠ écologisme (3 critères de définition) (4:50) Invisibilité des animaux dans les discours, ou présence mais pas en tant qu'individus qui ont des intérêts (7:50) L'émergence des pensées du vivant comme dépassement et proposition alternative à la nature (et les implications normatives problématiques de ce concept) (9:20) Le caractère conservateur de la pensée de Baptiste Morizot sur la question animale (13:40) Antispécisme v. multispécisme (version normative des ethnographies multispécifiques qui n'étaient que descriptives) (15:35) Les pensées du vivant tombent dans les mêmes écueils que l'Idée de nature qu'elles prétendent remplacer (mêmes fonctions normatives malgré des concepts différents : de ‘C'est naturel' à ‘c'est la vie') (17:45) L'homogénéisation de la notion de Vivant permet de naturaliser et légitimer des pratiques violentes, comme la chasse (19:50) Les rares figures de l'écologie qui parlent bien de la question animale ont une conception de l'écologie en termes de rapports de pouvoir et d'oppressions (21:50) Les animaux sont les plus nombreuses victimes des crises écologiques, et le spécisme un facteur majeur (25:20) Véganisme assimilé à une politique du petit geste colibri individuel de consommation (27:20) Pourquoi l'élevage paysan a une place si importante au sein de l'imaginaire écolo (30:20) Les animaux utilisés comme symboles d'autre chose qu'eux-mêmes : une harmonie avec la nature, un retour au local, une reconnexion au vivant, etc. (32:10) Ce n'est pas seulement que l'écologie s'interroge sur la question animale, sinon que la question animale vient interroger l'écologie (33:35) La nécessité du néo-carnisme pour les écolos (et exemple de la traction animale) (38:55) Il faut distinguer les ‘intellectuel-les' écolos et les collectifs militants écolos (plus ouverts à l'antispécisme déjà) (42:30) L'autonomie de la lutte antispéciste : une clé qui ouvre des espaces de réflexion fructueux pour l'écologie (46:30) L'antispécisme dominé au sein l'espace des mouvements sociaux, le dialogue avec les autres mouvements est parfois délicat (52:30) Une approche matérialiste plutôt que spirituelle de l'écologie ________________________________ SOUTENIR Comme un poisson dans l'eau est un podcast indépendant et sans publicité : votre soutien est indispensable pour qu'il puisse continuer à exister.

Antispécisme et écologisme sont perçus comme des mouvements très proches, qui parlent en partie des mêmes sujets, mais en fait pas toujours de la même manière ni avec les mêmes prismes d'analyse. Je suis convaincu que les deux ont beaucoup à s'apporter, et c'est un sujet qui me tient vraiment à coeur, mais ça demande parfois d'avoir des discussions honnêtes et un peu critiques. C'est le cas de cet épisode, qui vous allez l'entendre n'est pas toujours tendre avec la sphère écolo ; mais c'est fait avec amour, et c'est important de soulever ces critiques, d'autant qu'avec mon invité on a tous les deux la volonté d'ouvrir plus d'espaces de dialogue fructueux et bienveilants sur les rapports entre les deux mouvements. Et cet invité n'est autre que Jean-Marc Gancille, que je reçois à l'occasion de la sortie de son dernier livre *Comment l'humanité se viande.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: #GivingTuesday: My Giving Story and Some of My Favorite Charities, published by Kyle J. Lucchese on November 29, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Happy Giving Tuesday! A friend inspired me to share my giving story and some of my favorite charities. I was raised to love all and to give generously with my time, money, and spirit, aspirations I strive to live up to. When I first read The Life You Can Save in 2009, I realized that I could and should be doing more to help others wherever they are. It wasn't until 2011 when I came across GiveWell and Giving What We Can that I really put these ideas into action. I pledged to donate at least 10% of my income to effective charities and was driven to study business in hopes that I could earn to give more (I still don't make "make much" but it is a lot from a global perspective). Though I believe significant systemic reforms are needed to create a more sustainable and equitable world, I continue to donate at least 10% of my income and use my career to support better todays and tomorrows for all beings. Between now and the end of the year, I will allocate my donations as follows: 20% - The Life You Can Save's Helping Women & Girls Fund: This fund is for donors who seek to address the disproportionate burden on women and girls among people living in extreme poverty. Donations to the fund are split evenly between Breakthrough Trust, CEDOVIP, Educate Girls, Fistula Foundation, and Population Services International. 20% - Animal Charity Evaluators' Recommended Charity Fund: This fund supports 11 of the most impactful charities working to reduce animal suffering around the globe. The organizations supported by the fund include: Çiftlik Hayvanlarını Koruma Derneği, Dansk Vegetarisk Forening, Faunalytics, Fish Welfare Initiative, The Good Food Institute, The Humane League, Legal Impact for Chickens, New Roots Institute, Shrimp Welfare Project, Sinergia Animal, and the Wild Animal Initiative. 20% - Spiro: a new charity focused on preventing childhood deaths from Tuberculosis, fundraising for their first year. Donation details on Spiro's website here. Donations are tax-deductible in the US, UK, and the Netherlands. 15% - Giving What We Can's Risks and Resilience Fund: This fund allocates donations to highly effective organizations working to reduce global catastrophic risks. Funds are allocated evenly between the Long-Term Future Fund and the Emerging Challenges Fund. 10% - Founders Pledge's Climate Change Fund: This fund supports highly impactful, evidence-based solutions to the "triple challenge" of carbon emissions, air pollution, and energy poverty. Recent past recipients of grants from the Climate Change Fund include: Carbon180, Clean Air Task Force, TerraPraxis, and UN High Level Climate Champions. 10% - GiveDirectly: GiveDirectly provides unconditional cash transfers using cell phone technology to some of the world's poorest people, as well as refugees, urban youth, and disaster victims. According to more than 300 independent reviews, cash is an effective way to help people living in poverty, yet people living in extreme poverty rarely get to decide how aid money intended to help them gets spent. 5% - Anima International: Anima aims to improve animal welfare standards via corporate outreach and policy change. They also engage in media outreach and institutional vegan outreach to decrease animal product consumption and increase the availability of plant-based options. Other organizations whose work I have supported throughout the year include: American Civil Liberties Union Foundation EA Funds' Animal Welfare Fund, Global Health and Development Fund, Infrastructure Fund, and Long-Term Future Fund FairVote GiveWell's Top Charities Fund, All Grants Fund, and Unrestricted Fund Project on Government Oversight The Life You Can Save...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing Our 2023 Charity Recommendations, published by Animal Charity Evaluators on November 9, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Every year, Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) spends several months evaluating animal advocacy organizations to identify those that work effectively and are able to do the most good with additional donations. Our goal is to help people help animals by providing donors with impactful giving opportunities that can reduce animal suffering to the greatest extent possible. We are excited to announce that this year, we have selected six recommended charities. In previous years, we have categorized our recommended charities into two separate tiers: Top and Standout. This year, we have decided to move to only one tier: Recommended Charities. Having just one tier more fairly represents charities and better supports a pluralistic, resilient, and impactful animal advocacy movement. We expect it will also increase our ability to raise funds for the most important work being done to reduce animal suffering. Additionally, this shift will allow us to make better-informed grants to each charity and reduce time spent on administrative tasks. In 2023, we conducted comprehensive evaluations of 14 animal advocacy organizations that are doing promising work. We are grateful to all the charities that participated in this year's charity evaluations. While we can only recommend a handful of charities each year, we believe that all the charities we evaluate are among the most effective in the animal advocacy movement. However, per our evaluation criteria, we estimate that additional funds would have marginally more impact going to our Recommended Charities, making them exceptional giving opportunities. Faunalytics, The Humane League, and Wild Animal Initiative have all retained their status as Recommended Charities after being re-evaluated this year. Newly evaluated charities that join their ranks are Legal Impact for Chickens, New Roots Institute, and Shrimp Welfare Project. The Good Food Institute, Fish Welfare Initiative, Dansk Vegetarisk Forening, Çiftlik Hayvanlarını Koruma Derneği and Sinergia Animal have all retained their recommended charity status from 2022. Below, you will find a brief overview of each of ACE's Recommended Charities. For more details, please check out our comprehensive charity reviews. Recommended in 2023 Faunalytics is a U.S.-based organization that connects animal advocates with information relevant to advocacy. Their work mainly involves conducting and publishing independent research, working directly with partner organizations on various research projects, and promoting existing research and data for animal advocates through their website's content library. Faunalytics has been a Recommended Charity since December 2015. To learn more, read our 2023 comprehensive review of Faunalytics. Legal Impact for Chickens (LIC) works to make factory-farm cruelty a liability in the United States. LIC files strategic lawsuits for chickens and other farmed animals, develops and refines creative methods to civilly enforce existing cruelty laws in factory farms, and sues companies that break animal welfare commitments. LIC's first lawsuit, the shareholder derivative case against Costco's executives for chicken neglect, was featured on TikTok and in multiple media outlets, including CNN Business, Fox Business, The Washington Post, and Meatingplace (an industry magazine for meat and poultry producers). This is the first year that Legal Impact for Chickens has become a Recommended Charity. To learn more, read our 2023 comprehensive review of Legal Impact for Chickens.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New Jury Analysis of the Smithfield Piglet Rescue Trial, published by JLRiedi on August 31, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Faunalytics analyzed transcripts from interviews with jurors of the Smithfield Foods criminal trial - in which two animal rights activists were found not guilty of "stealing" two piglets from a factory farm in Utah. This qualitative analysis will help advocates understand why jurors sided with the defense, how to potentially apply these findings to future trials, and what forms of animal activism are most convincing. Key Findings: The "not guilty" verdict hinged, in part, on the monetary value of the piglets to Smithfield, which was argued to be less than zero. The piglets required veterinary care that exceeded their value to Smithfield. The jury was initially hesitant to say the piglets had no worth because they saw them as having inherent worth as living beings, however they ultimately decided the theft charges hinged on monetary value only. The jury members believed the defendants, Wayne and Paul, did not have the intent to steal. Before their investigation of the Smithfield facility, Wayne said on video "if there's something we'll take it." The jury interpreted the "if" as meaning the two activists did not enter the facility knowing they'd have the opportunity to take piglets. However, one juror noted that if the defendants had a pattern of doing this in the past, the jury might have been more likely to find them guilty. The participants all reported being more receptive to animal advocacy and animal welfare after the trial. One participant reported that they no longer eat ham. Another reported that while they still believe that pigs are here to be eaten, as a result of the trial they now believe that pig welfare should be improved. Another was even inspired to pursue animal activism. Despite what media coverage indicates, the "right to rescue" was not a major factor in the jury's decision. Some media outlets (such as The Intercept and Democracy Now!) have characterized this trial as a test case for the "right to rescue" argument - the idea that one should be able to rescue animals, sometimes farmed animals, from distressing conditions. However, only two jurors mentioned this concept at all, and no jurors mentioned this idea as critical. Background The Smithfield Trial refers to the prosecution of two animal advocates who were charged with felony theft and burglary after they removed two piglets from a Smithfield Foods facility in Utah, United States. Wayne Hsiung and Paul Darwin Picklesimer, a co-founder and member of Direct Action Everywhere, respectively, are activists "working to achieve revolutionary social and political change for animals in one generation." In 2017, Wayne and Paul entered the Circle Four Farms facility in Milford, Utah, and removed two injured piglets (later named Lily and Lizzie). Circle Four Farms is one of the largest industrial pig processing facilities in the United States and a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods, which is the world's largest pork producer. Once rescued, the piglets were provided with veterinary care and relocated to a sanctuary where they currently reside. The removal of the piglets was filmed and posted on social media under the title "Operation Deathstar." In September 2022, Wayne and Paul went on trial in Washington County, Utah on charges of felony theft and burglary for removing the piglets. They were acquitted (i.e., found not guilty) by a jury on both counts. This trial may interest animal advocates because it provides potential guidance for future trials and investigations. Additionally, this analysis provides insight as to which pro-animal arguments are more persuasive more generally. In this study, we analyzed themes from interviews with five Smithfield Trial jury members (referred t...

We discuss findings from a 2023 report “Animal Agriculture is the Missing Piece in Climate Change Media Coverage”. Given the policy agenda-setting role of the news media, this report details what coverage improvements are warranted to facilitate needed farming and dietary changes in the U.S. to help mitigate the climate crisis, given the large role that animal ag plays in greenhouse gas emissions (especially via methane and deforestation). In this 25-minute podcast, In Tune to Nature host Carrie Freeman interviews two of the report's co-authors, Coni Arevalo (Research Associate at Faunalytics) and Jenny Splitter (Managing Editor at Sentient Media). The report and its recommendations can be found, with an easy-to-read executive summary and infographics, at https://faunalytics.org/animal-ag-in-climate-media/ Faunalytics is a nonprofit research organization that conducts studies and shares knowledge to help advocates support animals effectively.

Eat Differently is a powerful, new PSA campaign featuring Paul McCartney, Jane Goodall, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Albert Einstein, Cesar Chavez and other revolutionary thinkers. It's aim is to inspire people to eat plants, not animals. An homage to the 1990's famous Think Different campaign, this is one of the largest efforts ever to advocate for a diet of plants, not animals. It directly counters the dairy industry's “Got Milk” campaign. Visit http://eatdifferently.com/ Also, nonprofit research organization Faunalytics has just surveyed thousands of Americans about how likely they would be to try a number of pro-animal actions, such as giving up meat or buying cruelty-free products. The results are fascinating and will help animal advocates tailor specific “asks” to the most receptive groups.

AFTER MEAT explores the technological reasons for moving away from animal products. “Animals are awful technology,” says Dr. Sekar, who supports his opinion by examining how inefficient it is to use cows, for example, to produce steaks, leather, and milk. According to Dr. Sekar, it takes more than a year to grow food to feed animals, and we “waste” more than ninety percent of what we feed the animal to reach the desired result, due to the fundamental physics of cow biology. These are irretrievably terrible metrics. We can do much better with alternative technology such as microbial fermentation, which will also be easier to innovate for taste, nutrition, and other qualities we care about. And all indications are that the future of food will ultimately be tastier, healthier, cheaper, kinder, and better for the environment. This will happen because we won't use animal products. 100% of the proceeds of AFTER MEAT will be donated to the following charities: The Good Food Institute; Animal Charity Evaluator's Recommended Charity Fund; Effective Altruism's Animal Welfare Fund; and Faunalytics.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Faunalytics Analysis on Reasons for Abandoning Vegn Diets, published by JLRiedi on February 22, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Nonprofit research organization Faunalytics has released a new analysis on reasons people abandon vegan or vegetarian (vegn) diets, looking at the obstacles former vegns faced and what they would need to resume being vegn. Although causes for lapsing have been analyzed to an extent, a deeper analysis that considers people's reasons in their own words is necessary to not only understand why people give up their vegn goals, but to find the best ways to help people stick with their commitment to vegnism and even lure back some of the lapsers. Read the full report here: Background People have a variety of motivations for switching to plant-based diets, yet not all people who begin the transition to a vegan or vegetarian (collectively called vegn) diet maintain it long-term. In fact, Faunalytics' study of current and former vegns (2014) found that the number of lapsed (former) vegans and vegetarians in the United States far surpasses the number of current vegns, and most who lapse do so within a year. Are these people the low-hanging fruit for diet advocates? They could be—there are many of them and they're clearly at least somewhat willing to go vegn, so maybe more attention should be paid to the lapsers. That's one possibility. The other, more pessimistic possibility, is that when we as advocates think our diet campaigns are successful, these are the people we think we're convincing. That is, we see the part where they go vegn, but not the part where they later lapse back. This interpretation is one that a lot of people made when our study of current and former vegns released, but we don't have strong evidence either way. This analysis, in which we looked at the obstacles faced by people who once pursued a vegn diet and what they would need to resume being vegn, aims to shed a bit more light on these questions. Although causes for lapsing have been analyzed to an extent, a deeper analysis that considers people's reasons in their own words is necessary to not only understand why people give up their vegn goals, but to find the best ways to help people stick with their commitment to vegnism and even lure back some of the lapsers. Research Team This project's lead author was Constanza Arévalo (Faunalytics). Dr. Jo Anderson (Faunalytics) reviewed and oversaw the work. Conclusion Diets Are More Than Food Food plays an important role in our lives. More than just nutrition, food is a very personal yet social experience, a cultural identity, and at times, a religious or spiritual practice or symbol. Naturally, a good-tasting diet is important—especially when the idea is to maintain it long-term. However, lapsed vegns' answers suggested that food dissatisfaction, although a very common struggle, was not the most crucial obstacle to overcome to return to vegnism. Instead, having access to vegn options, as well as the time and ability to prepare vegn meals (often alongside non-vegn meals for family), were much more common must-haves. Additionally, people's feelings of healthiness while on their diet, seemed to hold a lot of weight. Many lapsed vegns who had faced issues managing their health named this as their main reason for lapsing. Similarly, Faunalytics (2022) found that people who felt unhealthy when first trying out a vegn diet were significantly more likely to lapse within the first six months than people who felt healthier. This was the case even if their initial motivation for going vegn wasn't health-related. Seeking professional medical advice while pursuing a vegn diet (ideally from a doctor who understands and has experience with vegn diets) is the best way to manage any major concerns and get information about the vitamins and nutriti...
NEW Faunalytics Study shows Local Laws lay the groundwork for creating meaningful change for animals at the state government level.In this podcast episode on All About Animals Radio, host Erica Salvemini, of The Rising Lioness chats with Dr. Jo Anderson, Research Director of Faunalytics, an organization that conducts research and shares knowledge that supports animal advocates so they can help animals effectively. Their studies offer actionable and insightful data on important topics for the animal protection movement.Tune in to hear Erica and Jo discuss the important role local law takes on when used as a stepping stone to create State Animal Protection Laws. Whether it's a declawing ban, bans of puppy mills, retail sales of cats, dogs and rabbits or plant-based procurement, Faunalytics' research study offers the data.Jo also offers valuable and actionable suggestions for listeners who want to become active animal advocates. From banning foie gras to canned exotic animal hunts - happening in our own backyards within the U.S. - Jo guides us on taking easy action steps to protect animals at the local and/or state government level. Jo Anderson is an advocate for animals and empirical research. She has many years of experience with a wide range of social science research methods and topics, as well as advanced training in statistical analysis. Jo became Faunalytics' Research Director in 2017 and since then has led and supervised studies of attitudes and behavior pertaining to animals and veganism, advocate retention, donations, lobbying efforts, and many other topics. Her other roles include serving as the co-leader of the RECAP (Research to End Consumption of Animal Products) researcher collective, a member of the Brooks Institute's Animal Law & Science working group, an ad hoc research advisor to ProVeg and Food System Innovations, and an Adjunct Research Professor at Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada). Jo has a PhD in social psychology from the University of Waterloo and completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Cornell University. Jo's spare-time interests include sewing, reading, finding accidentally-vegan junk food, doting over cats, and being generally indoorsy.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Against philanthropic diversification, published by Jack Malde on December 22, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. (Cross-posted from my substack The Ethical Economist: a blog covering Economics, Ethics and Effective Altruism.) Don't give to just one charity, there are so many good charities to give to! Also, what if the charity turns out to be ineffective? Then you just wasted all your money and did no good. Don't worry, there's a simple solution. Just give to multiple charities and spread risk! Thinking along these lines is natural. Whether it's risk aversion, or just an inherent desire to support multiple charities or causes, most of us diversify our philanthropic giving. If your goal is to do the most good however, you should fight this urge with all you've got. Diversification does make some sense, some of the time. If you're going to fill a charity's budget with your giving then any further giving should probably go elsewhere. But most of us are small donors. Our giving usually won't fill a budget, or hit diminishing returns. It certainly won't hit diminishing returns at the level of an entire cause area, unless perhaps you're a billionaire philanthropist, in which case well done you. When you're deciding where to give you likely have some idea of what the best option is. Maybe you want to help animals and are quite uncertain about how best to do so, but you lean towards thinking that giving to The Humane League (THL) to support their corporate campaigns is slightly better on the margin than giving to Faunalytics to support their research, even though you think there's a possibility either option is ineffective. In this case, you should give your full philanthropic budget to THL. Fight that urge to give to both charities to cover your back if you make the wrong choice. Giving to both charities reduces the risk of you doing no good. But, because you subjectively think that THL is slightly better than Faunalytics, it also reduces the amount of good you will actually do in expectation. If you think THL is the best, then why give to anything else? Giving to both means trading away expected good done to get more certainty that you yourself will have done some good. It's putting your own satisfaction ahead of the expected good of the world. Don't be that person. At this point you might push back and say that I haven't convincingly shown that there's anything wrong with being risk averse in this way. That is, risk averse with respect to the amount of good a particular individual does. Fair enough, so let me try something a bit more formal. A recent academic paper by Hilary Greaves, William MacAskill, Andreas Mogenson and Teruji Thomas explores the tension between “difference-making risk aversion” and benevolence. Consider the below. Outcome goodnessHeadsTailsDo nothing100Give to Charity A2010Give to Charity B10+x20+x A fair coin is to be flipped which determines the payoffs if we do nothing, give to Charity A, or give to Charity B. The coin essentially represents our current uncertainty. We do have a hunch that giving to Charity B is better. Charity B differs from Charity A in that, instead of a ½ probability of getting 20, Charity B involves a ½ probability of getting 20+x, and instead of a ½ probability of getting 10, Charity B involves a ½ probability of getting 10+x. Given this, it's clearly better to give to Charity B. In technical language we say that giving to Charity B stochastically dominates giving to Charity A.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing our 2022 charity recommendations, published by Animal Charity Evaluators on November 22, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Every year, Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) spends several months evaluating animal advocacy organizations to identify those that work effectively and are able to do the most good with additional donations. Our goal is to help people help animals by providing donors with impactful giving opportunities that reduce suffering to the greatest extent possible. This year, we are excited to announce that we have selected one Top Charity and four Standout Charities. In 2022, we conducted comprehensive evaluations of 12 animal advocacy organizations that are doing promising work. Per our evaluation criteria, the five charities we recommended this year have the most impactful programs, are highly cost-effective, and have the most room for additional funding, making them exceptional choices for end-of-year giving. Because we changed the re-evaluation frequency of Top Charities from one to two years, The Humane League, Wild Animal Initiative, and Faunalytics have all retained their Top Charity status from 2021. The Good Food Institute now joins their ranks! We are also pleased to recommend Fish Welfare Initiative, Dansk Vegetarisk Forening, and Çiftlik Hayvanlarını Koruma Derneği as new Standout Charities. Additionally, Sinergia Animal retained their status as a Standout Charity after being re-evaluated this year. These charities join the seven other Standout Charities that retain their status from last year: Compassion USA, Dharma Voices for Animals, Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations, Material Innovation Initiative, Mercy For Animals, New Harvest, and xiaobuVEGAN. Below, you will find a brief overview of each of our Top and Standout charities. For more details, please check out our comprehensive charity reviews. Top Charities Evaluated in 2022 The Good Food Institute (GFI) currently operates in the U.S., Brazil, India, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Israel, where they work to increase the availability of animal-free products through supporting the development and marketing of plant-based and cell-cultured alternatives to animal products. They achieve this through corporate engagement, institutional outreach, and policy work. They also work to strengthen the capacity of the animal advocacy movement through supporting research and start-ups focused on alternative proteins. GFI was one of our Top Charities from November 2016 to November 2021. To learn more, read our 2022 comprehensive review of the Good Food Institute. Evaluated in 2021 Faunalytics is a U.S.-based organization working to connect animal advocates with information relevant to advocacy. This mostly involves cоnducting and publishing independent research, working directly with partner organizations on various research projects, and promoting existing research and data for individual advocates through their website's content library. Faunalytics was one of our Standout Charities from December 2015 to November 2021. To learn more, read our 2021 comprehensive review of Faunalytics. The Humane League (THL) operates in the U.S., Mexico, the U.K., and Japan, where they work to improve animal welfare standards through grassroots campaigns, movement building, vegan advocacy, research, and advocacy training, as well as through corporate, media, and community outreach. They work to build the animal advocacy movement internationally through the Open Wing Alliance (OWA), a coalition founded by THL whose mission is to end the use of battery cages globally. THL has been one of ACE's Top Charities since August 2012, when we used a different evaluation process and did not publish reviews. In 2014, THL was awarded Top Charity status in our first official round of ACE charity evaluation...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New Faunalytics Study on Local Action for Animals as a Stepping Stone to State Protections, published by JLRiedi on November 16, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Legislation is a key avenue advocates use to effect change for animals, but there isn't much research about how to choose tractable issues and lobby for them successfully. Nonprofit research organization Faunalytics has released a new study which found evidence that local laws can be an effective way to implement animal welfare protections, and could lead to great success at the state level. Read the full study here:/ Background Municipal ordinances can be an effective way to create animal protection laws at the local level, and could lead to great success at the state level. Passing laws at the local level allows people to help animals in their communities, while providing a model for other cities and jurisdictions. Local laws can also create momentum for statewide initiatives, which demonstrates a state's strong commitment to protecting animals. The goal of this project was to look at whether local laws have laid the groundwork for laws at the state level of government, as a potential avenue for change. This study aimed to determine whether there is evidence that local animal laws have been or could influence state laws. And secondarily, whether case law has influenced state legislation. To this end, we reviewed legal materials relating to animal welfare in the United States. The scope of this review included legislation and case law from the past twenty years, related to a range of animal welfare topics. Our primary focus was on farmed animal issues, but with consideration given to other issues that are similar and potentially generalizable. Our goals were to identify any trends and provide recommendations to advocates based on previous attempts to broaden the scope of animal welfare laws. Research Team The project's lead author was Precious Hose (Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University). Dr. Jo Anderson (Faunalytics) reviewed and oversaw the work. Conclusion Successes & Challenges Local laws can sometimes create meaningful change at the state level. Success is far from guaranteed, but this review found evidence of states taking into account local laws and resolutions during discussion of bills on animal topics including battery cages, gestation crates, veal crates, foie gras, and meat reduction. Some of those attempts failed, but they suggest that at the bare minimum, states will generally consider local examples, even outside of their own state. This research encompassing all fifty U.S. states found evidence suggesting that when similar laws are widely adopted across multiple municipalities, it appears to increase the chances of passing related state laws. In the strongest example, over 400 municipalities passed their own ordinances banning puppy mill sales and the widespread support from many municipalities supported five states passing statewide bans on puppy mill sales within the past six years. The biggest barrier to creating change from the ground up is state preemption of local laws. While existing preemptions—which are particularly common for laws around animal farming—pose a major hindrance to progress, the worst-case scenario is for opponents of animal protection fight back against legislation by bringing a state bill to preempt pro-animal local ordinances, as occurred in the case of Puppies 'N Love v. City of Phoenix, 2017. Some opponents may also bring lawsuits against the city enforcing the ordinance. While this is a concerning possible outcome to consider, we found that it is a relatively rare outcome to date, having occurred in only four examples we reviewed. Even in instances where there is a lot of support for animal protection actions like banning puppy mill sales—which acc...
The significant, unalloyed goodness of replacing animal agriculture. By Dr. Karthik Sekar at AfterMeatBook.com.

According to Dr. Sekar, Burger King and McDonalds have both introduced veggie burgers sourced from well-known, next-generation vegan food companies, Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, and the publication, The Economist, declared 2019 to be the “Year of the Vegan”. AFTER MEAT explores the technological reasons for moving away from animal products. “Animals are awful technology,” says Dr. Sekar, who supports his opinion by examining how inefficient it is to use cows, for example, to produce steaks, leather, and milk. According to Dr. Sekar, it takes more than a year to grow food to feed animals, and we “waste” more than ninety percent of what we feed the animal to reach the desired result, due to the fundamental physics of cow biology. These are irretrievably terrible metrics. We can do much better with alternative technology such as microbial fermentation, which will also be easier to innovate for taste, nutrition, and other qualities we care about. And all indications are that the future of food will ultimately be tastier, healthier, cheaper, kinder, and better for the environment. This will happen because we won't use animal products. 100% of the proceeds of AFTER MEAT will be donated to the following charities: The Good Food Institute; Animal Charity Evaluator's Recommended Charity Fund; Effective Altruism's Animal Welfare Fund; and Faunalytics.

Karthik Sekar, Ph.D, says, “I've seen some profoundly twisted takes on alternative foods and how "processed" they are. In this article, I clarify some confusion, explain the chemistry and biology behind food digestion, and argue why "processed" is a meaningless food descriptor. If we genuinely want tasty, affordable, healthy, kinder, and more sustainable food, we should use the better metrics and concepts already out there.” Original Post: https://karthiksekar.com/ Related Episodes: 171: Technical Outrage: Innovating to Reduce Animal Use 170 Fermentation for Alternative Protein Production 327: Shifting to a Better World Karthik's Interviews on other Podcasts: Vegan Family Kitchen Hope for the Animals Karthik Sekar, Ph.D is the author of After Meat: The Case for an Amazing Meat-Free World.

Karthik Sekar, Ph.D, argues that “other than donating effectively, practicing unabashed, hardline veganism is the most tractable, impactful good we can do.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Global Animal Slaughter Statistics & Charts: 2022 Update, published by JLRiedi on July 19, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Faunalytics has produced an update to their Global Animal Slaughter Statistics and Charts, which now includes numbers from 2019 and 2020 and documents how many animals are slaughtered for food every year based on United Nations FAO data. Globally, animal slaughter is outpacing population growth. Pig and sheep slaughter is trending upward, cow slaughter is trending downward, and chicken slaughter for 2020 was down by 2 billion from 2019 but still trending upward overall compared to every year before 2018. Fish slaughter is more volatile, but looks like it could be plateauing. For animal advocates looking to direct their attention and resources more effectively, the statistics and charts in this valuable visual resource offer a helpful picture of how many animals have been consumed and how consumption has changed over the past 60 years. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

In the second episode of the Effective Animal Advocacy series Nicole speaks with Andrea Polanco from Faunalytics about their latest study 'The Impact Of Diet & Different Animal Advocacy Tactics'.
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Emphasize Vegetarian Retention, published by ozymandias on June 10, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. In the past twenty years, animal advocacy groups have put an enormous amount of effort into convincing people to be vegetarian. However, polls suggest that the percentage of the population that's vegetarian has stayed basically flat since 1999. In short, we're basically treading water: for every new vegetarian we convince, someone else quits. As you'd expect given this fact, more than four-fifths of vegans and vegetarians eventually abandon their diets. Of course, an ex-vegetarian isn't the same as a lifelong omnivore. They might eat less meat because they've discovered new favorite recipes, and they might have more knowledge of and sympathy for animal issues. (Conversely, of course, they might have been so alienated from the vegetarian and animal advocacy community that they're more bitter and angry about it than the average omnivore.) But if we're trying to reduce animal consumption, this is a bad sign! Fortunately, we're only addressing half the problem. There are lots of people trying to make people be vegetarian, but there's far less effort put into getting them to stay vegetarian. While there are some programs along these lines, they tend (in my experience) to not be very elaborate or well-funded, particularly compared to vegan outreach. As far as I'm aware, no one has run a study of the effectiveness of various methods of keeping people vegetarian. This is sad, because there are a priori reasons to believe that keeping people vegetarian would be easier than making them vegetarian in the first place. Vegetarians generally want to stay vegetarian, so they're eager to listen to your information—unlike omnivores, who have to be convinced. It seems like there's low-hanging fruit in vegetarian retention: for example, even today, many vegans don't know about the importance of taking a B12 supplement, which means that they risk health problems that they'll treat by going back to eating animal products. According to a qualitative Faunalytics study, the most common reasons that people quit being vegetarian are: Disliked/bored with food, wanted variety, wanted meat Nutrient concerns or deficiencies (perceived or actual) Did not enjoy it, tired of it, unsatisfied, or bored Family, relationship, household, or children Felt fatigued, lightheaded, weak, or unhealthy Many of these seem potentially addressable. We could recommed people more delicious food, show them how to substitute meat in their diets (for example, with alternate sources of the umami taste), teach them more about vegetarian nutrition, and help them to find social support. It may help to develop standard advice for common situations, such as being vegetarian while cooking for a family that is not vegetarian, and then promoting them widely. Many animal advocacy organizations are doing something along these lines to begin with, but few are doing it in a systematic way. Vegetarian retention also seems to me to be easier to study than convincing people to become vegetarian. The hardest part of conducting a study of a method to convince people to become vegetarian is followup: how do you track down the same person you showed a video to six months later to discover whether they reduced their meat consumption? However, vegetarian retention studies can be done using the mailing lists that animal advocacy organizations already have. You'd still get attrition, of course, but the attrition is potentially much lower. Of course, it might turn out that vegetarian retention is legitimately extremely difficult. For example, maybe only some people can be healthfully fully vegetarian for reasons we don't understand yet, and so most prospective vegetarians will quit. But that's also valuable to know: it suggests that we sho...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New Faunalytics' Study for Advocates on the Impact Of Diet & Different Animal Advocacy Tactics, published by JLRiedi on April 27, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This vital report shows the results of two studies in the United States with our ultimate goal to estimate how successful each advocacy type is across both the short- and long-term. The first was a retrospective survey that explored people's experiences with different advocacy types within the last five years and measured their current behaviors and attitudes, such as animal product consumption and speciesism. The second study was an experiment where we investigated whether advocacy caused behavioral and attitudinal changes. Read the full study here: Background Many different approaches to advocacy exist within the animal protection movement, from talking to people you know about animal suffering, to sharing social media posts, to protesting in public spaces. Currently, we do not fully understand how these approaches affect people's behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes towards farmed animals, or even how common they are. As such, the ultimate goal of this project was to estimate the impact of 15 different forms of animal advocacy across both the short- and long-term. We conducted two studies in the U.S. to address this topic as fully and accurately as possible. The first was a retrospective survey. It explored people's experiences with 15 different advocacy types within the last five years and measured their current behaviors and attitudes, such as animal product consumption and speciesism. This tells us how common animal advocacy is from the average person's perspective and whether previously experiencing animal advocacy is associated with positive behavior and attitude changes towards farmed animals over the long-term. However, we can't necessarily assume that animal advocacy caused those behaviors and attitudes from a study like this. To assess people's perceptions of what is most impactful, we also directly asked them whether their most recent experience with animal advocacy changed any of their behaviors. While the retrospective survey gives us insightful information about what people think caused them to change their behavior, we can't be entirely confident that that is true due to self-reported biases. For this reason, we conducted an experiment in the second study, which lets us be surer about causal direction (i.e., whether advocacy caused behavioral and attitudinal changes or instead, whether people with pro-animal behaviors or attitudes sought out advocacy). Here, we investigated the impact of many types of animal advocacy against a control condition on people's immediate behaviors and attitudes towards farmed animals. Since the experiment provides stronger evidence of whether animal advocacy actually changes behavior, in a controlled setting with less opportunity for bias, the results we highlight below regarding behavior change are from the experiment. Research Team We are grateful to many people for their support and assistance with this project. We would like to thank Faunalytics volunteers Jennifer St. Onge and Clara Sanchez as well as former Faunalytics Research Scientist Tom Beggs for their work on the study design, and the many individuals and organizations who reviewed the study and provided feedback: the Beyond Carnism team, Daisy Freund and Melissa Thibault (ASPCA), Janosch Linkersdörfer (Humane League Labs), Meghan Lowery (Greenbaum Foundation), and David Meyer (Food Systems Research Fund).

Finally, we thank all of our survey respondents for their time and effort. Conclusions People's Di...
“People can come to their own guilt around not wanting to be a part of that. But if we push it on them and say, “you should feel badly about supporting this,” that's where people shut down and stop hearing us.”In this episode…We cover alot. Caryn's an expert on strategic communication and marketing, and a long-time vegan and animal advocate, so we focus on delivering our message in a way that it can be received. Caryn GinsbergCaryn Ginsberg has more than two decades of experience helping animal protection groups and advocates move more people to action. She does this by sharing the most effective ways to get results, based on best practices in outreach, including using data to guide decisions.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing Animal Empathy Philippines, published by Ging Geronimo on January 25, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Hi, everyone! I am excited to announce the launch of Animal Empathy Philippines (AEP), a spin-off organization of Effective Altruism Philippines. We are a new organization dedicated to community building work on effective animal advocacy (EAA) in the Philippines. Grant from the EA Animal Welfare Fund As EA Philippines' incubatee, AEP is supported by a $64,000 grant from the EA Animal Welfare Fund. Last December, three of us at EA Philippines (Kate Lupango, Janaisa Baril, and I) received a 1-year, 1.53 FTE grant from them to do community building work on EAA in the Philippines. The grant is split into the following: 0.73 FTE for me 0.4 FTE for Kate Lupango 0.4 FTE for Janai Baril Shifting to An Animal Advocacy Career I (Ging Geronimo) learned about EA after joining EA Philippines' 9-week Intro to EA Discussion Group held last May to July 2020. I took the Giving What We Can Pledge and started volunteering for 5-6 hours/ week at EA Philippines in December 2020. Prior to launching AEP, I worked for five years at the National Economic and Development Authority, the Philippines' socioeconomic planning body, as a Communications and Stakeholder Engagement Associate. Since September 2021, I've been engaged as a Consultant for the World Bank's Technical Assistance project to the Department of Agriculture. Kate Lupango is one of the co-founders of EA Philippines. She's a Funding Accountant at World Vision International and taking Master's in Community Development at University of the Philippines Diliman. Kate was a former intern at Faunalytics and has over four years of experience in farmed animal advocacy. Janaisa Baril is a Communication and Events Volunteer at EA Philippines. She has helped with EA PH's Local Charity Effectiveness Research, social media content, and monthly newsletters. Janai attended our 9-week Intro to Effective Animal Advocacy Fellowship, which motivated her to take action for farmed animals. She has a degree in Development Communication from University of the Philippines Los Baños. Why work on Farm Animal Welfare in the Philippines? The Philippines ranks 10th worldwide in terms of total farm animals alive, most of which are finfish and chickens, and yet there's relatively very little work being done on farmed animal welfare. As of December 2021, there are only four organizations working on farmed animal welfare (FAW) in the Philippines. These include the Philippine Welfare Society (PAWS), Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF), Fish Welfare Initiative (FWI), and Tambuyog Development Center.PAWS has been at the forefront of animal advocacy in the Philippines. They recently introduced a set of standards called The Better Chicken Option to educate local restaurants and consumers on better broiler chicken welfare. We've had meetings with PAWS, AKF, and FWI and we learned that the lack of high-quality candidates for jobs was the biggest bottleneck for establishing new programs or scale-up of those existing ones. Thus, it was clear to us that doing community building work on EAA is how we can make the greatest positive impact on farmed animals. Focusing on community building will enable us to multiply our impact by increasing the number of Filipinos who will take action for farmed animals. Why we launched and what our goals are Animal Empathy Philippines was conceived after EA Philippines conducted its first EAA fellowship last year. We thought that building a community of effective animal advocates would spark Filipinos' interest in farmed animal advocacy. Through AEP, we aim to: Build, grow, and sustain a community of effective animal advocates; Expand talent pool in EA-aligned animal welfare organizations; and Kick-start a coalition of local farm...

A report from Faunalytics shows that,“approximately 100 vaccines have shown effectiveness against HIV-like animal viruses, but none prevent HIV in humans. Up to 1,000 drugs have shown effectiveness for neuroprotection in animals, but none for humans. While the biomedical research industry is quick to claim victories, the reality is less glamourous: nine out of ten drugs fail in clinical studies because they cannot predict how they will behave in people; only 8% of drugs tested on animals are deemed fit for human use; one meta-study found that animal trials overestimate the likelihood that a treatment works by 30% because negative results often go unpublished. Fortunately, using animals in scientific research is not a foregone conclusion. On the contrary, there is a burgeoning field of alternatives to animal research, and many such alternatives are already in use today.” “Historically some of the leading airlines in the world were responsible for transporting these monkeys. So, you had national flag carrier airlines, such as such as British Airways, American Airlines - all of these big airlines were involved in transporting these monkeys in the hundreds and thousands every year on commercial passenger airlines. And, rightly the public were very concerned, there was a growing swell of, public opinion that was opposed to not just non-human primates being transported by airlines, but other animals as well. So there has certainly been a big move away from passenger airlines transporting monkeys, which has caused problems for the research industry in being able to obtain the monkeys.” – Sarah Kite Sarah Kite is co-founder of Action for Primates, they campaign on behalf of non-human primates globally. Despite their status as our closest living biological relatives, non-human primates continue to suffer and be exploited by people across the globe, whether in their native habitat, in trade and transportation, in research laboratories, in private homes, in zoos, as entertainment, or as food and body parts. Sarah has been doing this work since the 80s and although much has changed since then – we no longer test on chimpanzees, much hasn't changed. According to PETA, in the US, more than 100,000 nonhuman primates (mostly monkeys) are used in research laboratories every year. These are highly intelligent, social animals and we know and have known for decades that almost every single bit of this research fails in human trials. Not only are we breeding thousands of non-human primates in labs, for testing here in the USA, but we also import them from Asia and Africa by the planeload, meaning that they are in cargo holds for as long as 24 hours, some die before they make even it to the lab. As horrible as that sounds, I'm pretty sure that those are the lucky ones. For her entire career, Sarah Kite has been fighting for primates and asking humans to do and be better. I think we can.
Today we talk about a study done by Faunalytics at the request of Farm Sanctuary to find out if they are, in fact, changing hearts and minds. Does Farm Sanctuary have the right formula to get people to join the green side? How many people go vegetarian or full-fledged vegan after visiting? Find out by listening to some of the results. Check out my IG to see some statistics from the study as well as some cute animals along the way. Source: Faunalytics Study Instagram: Farm_Sanctuary_Tales
Karthik Sekar, Ph.D, outlines the technical — and ethical — promises of microbial fermentation in a way that is both exciting and inspiring. Karthik is the author of After Meat: The Case for an Amazing Meat-Free World. Karthik Sekar, Ph.D is a trained scientist and engineer. He finished his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of North Carolina, his PhD in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University, and a postdoctoral position in Systems Biology at ETH Zurich. He currently works on the front lines of the alternative food industry in the San Francisco Bay Area. Please visit www.aftermeatbook.com to learn more. AFTER MEAT explores the technological reasons for moving away from animal products. “Animals are awful technology,” says Dr. Sekar, who supports his opinion by examining how inefficient it is to use cows, for example, to produce steaks, leather, and milk. According to Dr. Sekar, it takes more than a year to grow food to feed animals, and we “waste” more than ninety percent of what we feed the animal to reach the desired result, due to the fundamental physics of cow biology. These are irretrievably terrible metrics. We can do much better with alternative technology such as microbial fermentation, which will also be easier to innovate for taste, nutrition, and other qualities we care about. And all indications are that the future of food will ultimately be tastier, healthier, cheaper, kinder, and better for the environment. This will happen because we won't use animal products. 100% of the proceeds of AFTER MEAT will be donated to the following charities: The Good Food Institute; Animal Charity Evaluator's Recommended Charity Fund; Effective Altruism's Animal Welfare Fund; and Faunalytics.

Defender Radio: The Podcast for Wildlife Advocates and Animal Lovers
There's been a lot of talk about the wildlife trade since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic hit the global stage in early 2020. While much of the attention has been paid to locales overseas, the United States is also involved in the wildlife trade; in fact, more than $2 billion of items – over 400,000,000 items - were imported in 2014 alone. Faunalytics, a non-profit that conducts research and shares knowledge to help advocates help animals effectively, took 15 years of data from legal wildlife import data and analyzed it. The results are staggering. I was joined by Karol Orzechowski, Faunalytics' content director, to discuss the wildlife trade report, the Canadian connection, and what we can all do to make a difference.

“…there's this disconnect between our beliefs and our behavior and part of what can be useful for overcoming that is to change the behavior first, which sounds really counterintuitive.” - Jo Anderson Jo Anderson is the Research Director at Faunalytics, an organization that empower animal advocates with access to research, analysis, strategies, and messages that maximize their effectiveness to reduce animal suffering. Jo is an advocate for animals and empirical research. For over ten years, Jo has investigated key social psychological issues such as persuasion, judgment, and decision-making, exploring how these concepts can be used to make the world a better place for humans and animals. That is what happens at Faunalytics, they do the research and enable real change. I learned a lot from Jo – mostly, that research changes the story and so often, reveals that the opposite of what seems obvious is in fact the truth.

We [Faunalytics] put out a lot of things in 2020. Some of the favorites that I [Jo] have, probably top of the list, I'm really excited about our animal product impact scales, where we did a lot of background research to figure out and estimate the impact of replacing various animal products with plant-based or cultivated alternatives. Apart from that, we've also done some research on people's beliefs about chickens and fish that's intended as a starting point on a program of research so that we can look at the best ways to advocate for those smaller animals… [Rethink Priorities'] bigger projects within farmed animal advocacy include work on EU legislation, in particular our view of how much do countries comply with EU animal welfare laws and what we can do to increase compliance. Jason Schukraft wrote many articles about topics like how the moral value of animals differs across species. There has been a review of shrimp farming. I [Saulius] finished an article in which I estimate global captive vertebrate numbers. And Abraham Rowe posted an article about insects raised for food and feed which I think is a very important topic.Jo Anderson and Saulius ŠimčikasThere have been many new research posts relevant to animal advocacy in 2020. But which are the most important for animal advocates to pay close attention to?
