I went to a large event, and the organizers counted the number of attendees present and then ordered chicken for everyone’s meal. Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to request a vegetarian alternative. What’s the most efficient way to offset my portion of the animal welfare harm, and how much will it cost? I’m looking for information such as “XYZ is the current best charity for reducing animal suffering, and saves chickens for $xx each”, but I’m open to donating to something that helps other animals—doesn’t necessarily have to be chickens, if I can offset the harm more effectively or do more good per dollar elsewhere.
The Humane League is what comes to mind—searching for them in the forum may bring up recent estimates of their cost effectiveness—I don’t know offhand.
But I thought I’d also say sorry you weren’t offered a meal respecting your ethical choice—it seems like an extraordinary thing to happen today (depending on where you are in the world).
