ben.smith comments on Pro-natalist success would cause so much animal suffering it is not even a net-positive cause area

[ben.smith]

I think no one here is trying to use pronatalism to improve animal welfare. The crux for me is more whether pronatalism is net-negative, neutral, or net-positive, and its marginal impact on animal welfare seems to matter in that case. But the total impact of animal suffering dwarfs whatever positive or negative impact pronatalism might have.
