Earlier this year I gave a talk on wild animal suffering at the International Animal Rights Conference in Luxembourg. Hopefully this can serve as a decent introduction to the issue. It also has much better audio and visual quality than previous talks I've given on this topic, which will hopefully make a difference to how the video performs on YouTube over time.
I would be happy to receive feedback on the content and/or the performance of this talk from people who are interested enough to watch it :)
Heya,
Congrats for this talk, I've found it very convincing. There is a really good balance between the argumentative side and the emotional one.
A few ideas that could potentially improve it:
- Maybe you can imagine some ways to make it more participative, by asking people intuition about one case on an other for instance.
- When you explain some arguments, it goes quite fast. Maybe it can be hard to follow for someone who does not know a lot about WAS. Two ways to potentially improve it: 1- make a recap at the end with the main arguments 2- When you explain something hard put the structure on your ppw.
Nonetheless, it is likely that insisting to much on the argumentative approach affects the balance emotion/argument of your presentation.
- As the end of the presentation, you feel chocked/depressed, maybe it could help to offer to audience easy ways to contribue at their scale: donate to X or Y charity// Put some water on their balcony// Volunteer for X or Y charity// Probably far better advices than I'm giving.
Hope it can help, congrats again for the quality of your work.
