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

From the report: "We can see that specific industries tend to be concentrated in specific states. For the purposes of animal advocacy, it is perfectly reasonable to view the United States not as a single country, but as a network of 50 closely related countries that each has a distinct pattern of animal production." How can animal advocacy organisations work to help animals farmed or caught for food in the United States? The most promising route to change will depend on the specific ask that is best-suited to your organisation. We would love to work with you to investigate what this might be—to get in touch with us, comment on this post, reach to me on LinkedIn or email, or go to our website. #animalwelfare #animaladvocacy #animalrights #farmanimalwelfare #animalscience #research #effectivealtruism #EAGLondon

Animal Ask's recent article explores a framework for evaluating animal welfare interventions, aiming to balance trade-offs between different subjective experiences of animals. By considering various moral perspectives and the differing importance of species' experiences, the framework provides a comprehensive method to compare and prioritize interventions effectively. #animalwelfare #animalsentience #animalrights #moralphilosophy

Did you know pet owners have a higher than average propensity to leave charitable bequests in their wills? This generosity, combined with the way responsible pet owners tend to use estate plans to care for their pets when they pass away, means that animal organizations are uniquely positioned to help their supporters while securing legacy gifts.

The Challenge of Fundraising for Animal Welfare 🐾 In the world of fundraising, animal welfare can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. Unlike human services, where the impact is often immediate and visible, our work at the Humane Society of Missouri focuses on giving a voice to those who can’t speak for themselves—our animals. What drives us as fundraisers is knowing that every dollar raised translates directly into lives saved: a puppy rescued from neglect, a senior cat finding comfort in its final days, or a rehabilitated animal thriving in a forever home. But we also know it takes creativity and connection to inspire people to see the value in our work. My team and I are always looking for new ways to tell these stories, build trust, and connect our community’s passion to the urgent needs of the animals we serve. When we connect hearts to our mission, we not only raise funds—we build a movement of people who care deeply about the well-being of all creatures in our city. To my fellow fundraisers: never underestimate the power of storytelling. It’s the bridge between empathy and action. Let’s continue to inspire others to support the causes that matter most. #AnimalWelfare #Fundraising #NonprofitLeadership #HSMO #Storytelling #InspireChange #Philanthropy
