Here is an example of @Vasco Grilo🔸 doing a pretty good critique of Sinergia that they should be trying to focus on their cage-free campaigning as opposed to meal replacement. That is extremely useful. It’s particularly useful because it’s something that @Carolina Galvani—Sinergia Animal can engage with [Carolina is Sinergia’s founder and executive director], doesn’t assume Sinergia is lying, and additional reasons can then be given for why Sinergia might still want to do something etc.
Thanks for noting that! For readers’ context, in that comment I made 4 months ago on a post from Caroline, I estimated based on Animal Charity Evaluators’ (ACE’s) cost-effectiveness analysis of Sinergia that their meal replacement program in 2023 was 0.107 % as cost-effective as their cage-free campaigns, which suggests it would be good to move funds from the former to the latter. I also shared the comment 3.5 months ago with@LChamberlain (Sinergia’s senior development manager), and Lúcia Perreira (Sinergia’s impact and strategy director), and reminded LChamberlain about it 2.5 months ago. Both LChamberlain and Lúcia said 3.5 months ago they were going to have a look, but they have not followed up. I think posting about it, sharing a draft with Sinergia before the publication, would have led to a reply, or at least a faster reply. This could have been good if it had caused Sinergia to reflect on their prioritisation earlier, and eventually change their allocation of funds.
Great points, Marcus!

Thanks, Carolina. I have followed up there too.
