Which asks should be prioritized in animal advocacy?

3/30/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
When recommending different charities to start in the field of animal advocacy, a crucial question to consider first is which ask should be prioritized? Regardless of the approach - corporate outreach, governmental intervention or individuals focus intervention - we need to decide what we are going to ask them for in the first place.

Fish Stocking and Live Bait Reduction

This ask report considers interventions to aid fish used for fish stocking and bait.

Fish stocking is the practice of raising fish to be put into wild areas, such as rivers, to supplement the natural population. Baitfish are those caught to be used as bait for other fish. These two practices are commonly neglected within the animal ethics movement. However, the number of animals these two industries affect is potentially comparable to or even greater than the number of animals affected by other animal-based industries that we have considered in previous research. Furthermore, we have identified fish as one of 
our priority animals. Our speculative estimates suggest that a successful intervention for baitfish could save ~25 welfare points per animal, and for fish stocking could save ~23 welfare points per animal.

Meat Reduction

​This ask report considers multiple interventions designed to reduce the consumption of meat. 

Reducing the amount of meat that is consumed per person, even by small margins, can result in far fewer animals being born into factory farming. It makes sense, then, that multiple organisations focus on encouraging meat reduction. Broadly, these interventions fall under three categories: those aimed at consumers directly (such as Meatless Mondays), those aimed at institutions and companies (such as the Friendly Food Alliance), and those aimed at governmental change (such as altering national food recommendations). These kinds of interventions have the potential to have very big positive effects. One person partaking in Meatless Mondays for a year positively alters 43 welfare points, assuming all else is equal. Potentially, there are also other good external effects, including  a better public perception of the animal ethics movement. 

However, there are reasons to be skeptical about this area being of the highest impact for starting a charity.

Fish Feed Optimization

For each salmon produced, it takes ~5 other fish to be caught in order to feed it. Great numbers of fish killed every year are not used directly for human consumption, but for the purpose of being fed to other farmed fish. The amount of fish fed to other fish exceeds the number of fish sold to consumers by an order of magnitude: around 0.45 to 1.2 trillion annually compared to 48 to 160 billion slaughtered for food globally in 2015.

Our research is focused on where to found new charities

Over the past few months, Charity Entrepreneurship has dedicated hours of work to researching ideas for potential animal charities that we believe could have uniquely high positive-impact. Our ask reports cover the impact of many different components of charitable interventions (for example, which animals to focus on). However, all of these reports are done only in the context of founding a new charity.
