🐔 🔊 Our new research report is out! 🇬🇭 Farm Animal Welfare in Ghana. We conducted this research on behalf of Animal Welfare League. We recommend five farmed animal welfare interventions that could positively affect 252 million animals. We encourage you to read the report and give us your feedback.

📣 New paper out! 🐔 Animal Ask's Research Scientist Ren Ryba recently published their new paper "Evaluating the Economic Impacts of a Cage-Free Animal Welfare Policy in Southeast Asian and Indian Egg Production: A Systematic Review" 📝 From the Abstract: "As demand for cage-free eggs is stimulated in Southeast Asia and India by retailer or government policies, we expect that producers will be capable of meeting this demand. In Asia specifically, the dominant cost component is poultry feed. We conclude that the economic viability of egg production in the region is likely to be driven by feed prices and associated government policies, rather than production system per se." ❤️ Please, help us by sharing this post on your social media! https://lnkd.in/dYeEZCQd #eggs #animalwelfare #cagefree #eggproduction #eggmarket

🚨 The Animal Ask Impact Survey is coming to a close and we strongly encourage you to fill out the form. It will only take you 5-10 minutes to complete and submit! ⚠ Please note that there is no limit to the number of respondents per organisation. 🐔 🐟 This is our final call for participation in this important resource. As a research organisation dedicated to impact for animals, we think it is vital to assess whether our work is useful for decision makers and stakeholders within animal advocacy both in theory and in practice. To measure this, we would like you to have an opportunity to share how you have engaged with our existing research. 🏁 The deadline to complete and submit the survey is Friday, September 6 at the close of business in your region. https://lnkd.in/db699hDJ #AnimalAdvocacy #EffectiveAnimalAdvocacy #AnimalWelfare #animalrights #effectivealtruism

Animal Ask needs you for 5-10 minutes tops. 🐟 🦐 🐛 ❤️ 📊 We are currently conducting an internal evaluation of our impact. To that end, we have created an easy-to-complete survey for animal advocates to help us determine how useful (or not) our research reports have been to you and whether they have influenced your decision making. ✅ There is no limit to how many advocates per organisation can respond. If you do not belong to any organisation we encourage you to respond as well. The same applies if you are a donor or work in the funding space. ❓ By completing and submitting this survey, you will help us understand how Animal Ask can better serve the research needs of the global animal welfare movement. You will also have the opportunity to suggest which research project you would like us to conduct in the future. 🚨 The survey deadline is Friday, September 6th at the close of business in your region. Thanks for helping us in our mission to help the animal advocacy movement. https://lnkd.in/db699hDJ

The latest Animal Ask report is out, and this time we cover a fundamental component of our work: how do we measure the subjective experience of animals, and therefore the results of different animal welfare interventions/campaigns? TL;DR: To guide our research on new interventions for the animal advocacy movement, we need a framework that allows us to quantify the subjective experiences of animals. For example, if we were comparing two campaigns—say, a) phasing out fast-growing breeds or broiler chickens and b) implementing more humane pesticides for use on crops—we would need to produce a quantitative estimate of the potential impact of these two campaigns. Note that we also consider many qualitative factors—this quantitative estimation represented by our framework is only one piece of information among many that we use. We chose to describe our framework in this article so we can be transparent about our research methods, allowing others to see how we reach particular conclusions and to improve on such methods. Please, help us spread the report by sharing this post. ❤️ #animal welfare #farmedanimalwelfare #research #effectivealtruism #moralphilosophy #animaladvocacy #animalscience https://lnkd.in/dhBuNUGi

We are beyond excited to present to you our latest report, which we hope will be of help from many groups and animal advocates: Animal welfare in the United States: Opportunities for impact. From the Summary: "In this report, we give an overview of animal production in the United States. We explore which industries are responsible for the largest amount of animal exploitation in the United States. We touch on all major farmed and wild-caught sectors in the country, before taking a deeper look at egg production and chicken meat production. Looking at how animal production is clustered by state and county, we point out where there are opportunities for animal advocacy organisations to make the biggest impact on the lives of animals. We also provide an overview of the economic forces that determine how animals are farmed and killed, which can help us to understand whether any given campaign will deliver the impact that we intend." ----- We want to help you! Are you an animal advocacy organisation seeking to conduct a high-impact campaign? We would love to work with you—like the insights in this report, we can provide detailed, specific analysis for the campaigns that your organisation is interested in. This is an initial scoping report, and we have only scratched the surface. We can inform the choice of campaign to empower your organisation to do the most good for animals. ----- https://lnkd.in/dguridNe #animalwelfare #animaladvocacy #farmanimals #animalscience #effectivealtruism #farmanimalwelfare #EAGLondon #poultry #eggs
