Animal Ask | LinkedIn (2025)

Animal Ask has been founded with the express aim to assist animal advocacy organisations in their efforts to reduce farmed animal suffering by providing research to help optimise and prioritise future asks. We provide organisations with in-depth research, narrowly targeted at key decisions between different animal asks, supporting organisations, individual activists, policymakers and donors so that they may do more good in the long term. We were founded through the Charity Entrepreneurship incubation programme in 2020.

  📣 New paper out!🐔 Animal Ask's Research Scientist Ren Ryba recently published their new paper "Evaluating the Economic Impacts of a Cage-Free Animal Welfare Policy in Southeast Asian and Indian Egg Production: A Systematic Review"📝 From the Abstract: "As demand for cage-free eggs is stimulated in Southeast Asia and India by retailer or government policies, we expect that producers will be capable of meeting this demand. In Asia specifically, the dominant cost component is poultry feed. We conclude that the economic viability of egg production in the region is likely to be driven by feed prices and associated government policies, rather than production systemper se."❤️ Please, help us by sharing this post on your social media!https://lnkd.in/dYeEZCQd#eggs #animalwelfare #cagefree #eggproduction #eggmarket

  The latest Animal Ask report is out, and this time we cover a fundamental component of our work: how do we measure the subjective experience of animals, and therefore the results of different animal welfare interventions/campaigns? TL;DR: To guide our research on new interventions for the animal advocacy movement, we need a framework that allows us to quantify the subjective experiences of animals. For example, if we were comparing two campaigns—say, a) phasing out fast-growing breeds or broiler chickens and b) implementing more humane pesticides for use on crops—we would need to produce a quantitative estimate of the potential impact of these two campaigns. Note that we also consider many qualitative factors—this quantitative estimation represented by our framework is only one piece of information among many that we use.We chose to describe our framework in this article so we can be transparent about our research methods, allowing others to see how we reach particular conclusions and to improve on such methods.Please, help us spread the report by sharing this post. ❤️ #animal welfare #farmedanimalwelfare #research #effectivealtruism #moralphilosophy #animaladvocacy #animalscience https://lnkd.in/dhBuNUGi

  We are beyond excited to present to you our latest report, which we hope will be of help from many groups and animal advocates: Animal welfare in the United States: Opportunities for impact.From the Summary:"In this report, we give an overview of animal production in the United States. We explore which industries are responsible for the largest amount of animal exploitation in the United States. We touch on all major farmed and wild-caught sectors in the country, before taking a deeper look at egg production and chicken meat production.Looking at how animal production is clustered by state and county, we point out where there are opportunities for animal advocacy organisations to make the biggest impact on the lives of animals. We also provide an overview of the economic forces that determine how animals are farmed and killed, which can help us to understand whether any given campaign will deliver the impact that we intend."-----We want to help you!Are you an animal advocacy organisation seeking to conduct a high-impact campaign? We would love to work with you—like the insights in this report, we can provide detailed, specific analysis for the campaigns that your organisation is interested in. This is an initial scoping report, and we have only scratched the surface. We can inform the choice of campaign to empower your organisation to do the most good for animals.-----https://lnkd.in/dguridNe#animalwelfare #animaladvocacy #farmanimals #animalscience #effectivealtruism #farmanimalwelfare #EAGLondon #poultry #eggs
