Thanks, Neil. Relatedly, Mal Graham said the Arthropoda Foundation would be interested in funding research on soil animals if they had sufficient funding.
That said, our [of Bob Fischer and Mal Graham, who āmake most of the strategic and granting decisionsā] confidence in our own position is not high. So, weād be willing to fund things to challenge our own views: If we had sufficient funding from folks interested in the question, Arthropoda would fund a grant round specifically on soil invertebrate sentience and relevant natural history studies (especially in ways that attempt to capture the likely enormous range of differences between species in this group).
Hi Vasco,
Please see the response to Faiās question on caged broiler farming, where the answer is the same in this case.
