The myth that reducing wild animal suffering is intractable

Abstract

The article discusses a pressing concern, wild animal suffering, and argues that it is more tractable than commonly believed. The author proposes three main approaches to address this issue: laying groundwork through research and advocacy, directly reducing suffering through altering ecosystems or implementing low-impact interventions, and ensuring future generations’ attention to the problem. The author contends that current interventions have minimal ecosystem impact and could potentially alleviate suffering. The article emphasizes the urgency of addressing wild animal suffering and encourages individuals to contribute to ongoing efforts. – AI-generated abstract.
