How can you do the most good for animals?

Abstract

The neglect of farm animals has seen the number of vertebrate animals confined in factory farms rise to 110 billion, with the potential to reach 200 billion by 2050. The poor conditions and mistreatment in these establishments result in immense suffering for animals. Despite the magnitude of the issue, only 0.03% of philanthropy goes towards farm animal welfare, leaving a huge opportunity for impactful interventions. Effective interventions include corporate campaigns securing pledges to eliminate cruel practices, support for alternatives to animal products like plant-based and cultured meat, and focusing on large countries like Brazil, China, and India where farm animal welfare has strong public support. – AI-generated abstract.
