“Wild animal suffering is super neglected compared with factory-farming, and this is super neglected compared with conflicts, epidemics/pandemics, and global warming” by Vasco Grilo🔸

Summary The welfare loss from global warming is much smaller than that from epidemics/pandemics, this is smaller than that from conflicts, this is negligible compared with that from factory-farming, and this is negligible compared with that from wild animal suffering. I estimate the human welfare loss from malaria in 2020 corresponds to 3.81 h of factory-farming, or 0.0576 s of wild animal suffering. The spending on the improvement of wild animal suffering is negligible compared with that of factory-farming, this is negligible compared with that of epidemics/pandemics, this is smaller than that of global warming, and this is smaller than that of conflicts. As a result, wild animal suffering is super neglected compared with factory-farming, this is super neglected compared with epidemics/pandemics, these are neglected compared with conflicts, and these are very neglected compared with global warming. One should donate based on the marginal cost-effectiveness of organisations, not the welfare loss per [...] ---Outline:(01:39) Introduction(02:02) Methods(02:07) Welfare loss(06:18) Spending(07:18) Results(07:21) Welfare loss(08:35) Spending(09:22) Welfare loss per spending(10:05) Discussion(15:27) Acknowledgements--- First published: March 30th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/cG6ccHYwwYktSD4pS/wild-animal-suffering-is-super-neglected-compared-with --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.
