Thank you so much for looking into this important moral issue. I know it's a really hard thing to analyze and talk about objectively in our polarized culture. <3 <3 <3
JH writes, "The above assumptions imply that meat companies returns will be positively correlated with impact per dollar. So you should overweight these companies as a mission-correlated investment."
Has anyone followed his advice?

Hi Everybody!
Did anyone take Hauke's advice and invest in "[c]orporations that . . . sell . . . factory farmed meat"?
If so, please reach out to me!!

Hii! Thank you so much for this question! :-)
Legal Impact for Chickens would use additional funding by hiring our first administrative employee, so the three lawyers on staff can dedicate our time more fully to litigation!
Legal Impact for Chickens is a litigation nonprofit dedicated to making factory-farm cruelty a liability: http://legalimpactforchickens.org/. We sue companies that abuse animals on factory farms and in slaughterhouses.
We are hoping to raise $204,000 by the end of the year, to allow us to expand our capacity.
And we ...
As a lawyer who has worked many years in legal offices with inadequate admin staffing, I would underscore how important having sufficient admin support is to lawyer productivity!
Thank you so much for thinking this through and posting this. It makes a lot of sense, and it's concerning.
Thank you for your support Eli! I think derivative suits definitely are still a strong vehicle to protect animals. Neither the court nor the defendants said anything that would cause us to become less bullish on derivative suits. And the court agreed that the board members had knowledge of Costco's treatment of animals, which was one of the things we were trying to prove in order to show why this is the board's responsibility and thus why a derivative suit is appropriate. Unfortunately, however, the court didn't agree that we had sh...
I know this is CRAZY belated, but I just wanted to thank you for the shout out to Legal Impact for Chickens! ❤️🐥 (Seeing our name in a recent EA Forum post made me wonder if we had ever been mentioned in past EA Forum posts which I missed. So I checked and found this!!!)
Super glad that One Step exists. It’s really scary to think about people switching from beef to chicken. ❤️🐥
Dear Brian,
Thank you so much for using Legal Impact for Chickens as your example!!!! It’s an honor. Reading our name here made me so surprised and happy!!!
Thank you, also, for appreciating our desire to focus specifically on reducing suffering.
To address your question:
In my limited experience, starting a new nonprofit over the past two years, I haven’t personally noticed much funging.
To me, it generally seems like the opposite happens—the more we fundraise, the easier it is for us to fundraise.
It seems like many grantors want to see that a nonprofit has ...
Congratulations Robert!! This is so needed! Animals suffer a TON in the food industry. But that’s not something anyone wants. Businesses need options for how to treat animals better in a way that is also good for their bottom line. Go Robert!!
Thank you so much for asking this question, @smountjoy!
Wanted to put in a pitch for Legal Impact for Chickens.
Legal Impact for Chickens would be extremely honored and excited if any donor were to consider us for a gift of any size! And I believe the money would go a long way in terms of expected value to reduce suffering.
We're an EA-aligned litigation start-up dedicated to making factory-farm cruelty a liability.
LIC filed our first lawsuit a few months ago: A widely publicized shareholder-derivative case against Costco's executives for neglecti...
I was so excited to see the title of this winning cause proposal!
And then I was so surprised to see that the reasoning focused on the concern that pesticides may, unintentionally, harm people.
I love the idea of fighting pesticide use! And I love it for a totally different reason:
It seems to me that fighting pesticides could help quadrillions of insects and other animals.
While I'm not a scientist, it seems to me that insects probably have feelings. I'm getting this idea from three things: (1) First, the insect-related pop-sci news ar...
JP, that article was hilarious!
The plaintiffs in this lawsuit are suing on behalf of Costco, derivatively. They want what is best for Costco. And what's best for any company is to follow the law.
I'm not sure if that answers the question but hopefully it does!
Legal Impact for Chickens is a litigation nonprofit. Our goal is to make factory-farm cruelty a liability. And we're hiring a litigation attorney!
Upvoting this post even though it doesn't criticize EA. :-)
Looking at your charts, I find it really interesting to see the trend in animal welfare posts over time. As you summarize it: "The percentage of posts on animal welfare peaked in 2018-19 and has since decreased somewhat."
I've heard concerns from other animal-focused EAs that the EA movement feels like it is starting to de-emphasize animals. And that worried me. But these charts make me feel better.
Your analysis does validates peoples' perception that the EA movement feels like it has re...
Yes! Let's talk, Sanjay!!
To summarize: As partial owners of corporations, shareholders have some power to protect the corporation’s interests. For example, when an investigation revealed mistreatment of Costco’s birds, two shareholders stepped into Costco’s shoes and sued Costco’s executives for making the company violate state animal neglect laws.
