Who is it's main target? That is the moment I haven't clearly understood about EA.
We have a problem: extremely bad maintenance of farm animals. We have three variables, and one of them is Importance.
And there's a catch - it's not equally important for people and animals. Most people on the earth do not actually care and do not experience any bad feelings about this problem, a lot of them do not even know about it. In fact, i think there's something like 2-3% of the population that are empathic and knowledgeable enough to get hurt by this problem.
Thus, this problem appears to be not even in the first of thousand of the most important. Bad feelings of fairly small percent of the population are not comparable to a ton of other hell that the world experiences.
The two last paragraphs have represented a fair evaluation of this problem's Importance if EA is a concept that is focused on making people's live better. This problem, obviously, is much more important if we we are caring about animals' feelings.
So, the final question is - what is the actual priority of EA? People, or animals and nature? How can we can solve and prioritize any side of this kind of conflicts between men's and wildlife interests and needs? Is it not an egoistic act - to get everyone's attention to a problem that hurts just 2-3% of the population?
