Interview: SK Aditya on grassroots animal activism and wild animal advocacy! (Repost from Karthik Logic Blog)

Check out the blog where this interview is posted: https://karthiklogic.substack.com/p/my-interview-with-sk-aditya-on-animal 

We discuss what the grassroots space looks like, whether the animal movement should take an anti-specieist or reducetarian approach, how activists combat compassion fatigue, and even consider some of the unanswered hardball questions in wild animal welfare such as how do we even know that we are doing more good than harm through our intervention.

Aditya is an animal welfare activist based in Hyderbad here in India. He is currently the Program Coordinator for Animal Ethics an animal welfare organization that follows effective altruist principles. He’s been involved with grassroots activism since 2016 via an organization called Hyderabad Animal Save that works to combat specieism. Aditya has done a lot of work on wild animal welfare. He is here today to talk to us about activism, wild animal suffering, and his own personal journey.
