I realize this is a bit hypothetical but it does seem like the numbers matter a bit, so I want to ask:
Is there some basis on which you’re imagining 50% of folks in an animal welfare EA group think that if factory farmed animals are moral patients, it’s more likely that they have net-positive lives?
That surprised me a bit (I’d imagine it close to 0%, but I’m not too active in any EA groups right now, especially not any animal-focused ones so I don’t have much data).
