Abstract

Animal Empathy Philippines (AEP) is a new organization dedicated to building a community of effective animal advocates in the Philippines, focusing on farmed animal welfare. AEP is supported by a $64,000 grant from the EA Animal Welfare Fund. The article details the organization’s mission, goals, and theory of change. It highlights the need for increased advocacy for farmed animal welfare in the Philippines, where only a few organizations currently work on this issue. AEP aims to build a community of effective animal advocates, expand the talent pool in EA-aligned animal welfare organizations, and kick-start a coalition of local farmed animal welfare organizations. The organization plans to achieve these goals through a range of activities, including running fellowships, conducting webinars, and fostering relationships with key stakeholders. AEP’s ultimate goal is to improve the lives of farmed animals in the Philippines by increasing the number of advocates, expanding the talent pool for effective animal advocacy, and potentially forming a coalition of local animal welfare organizations. – AI-generated abstract
