On the part about longtermism, Tobias Leenhart from ProVeg seems to think more on the lines of behaviour change(from whatever reason, health, enviorment, cheaper price of plants(due to welfare reforms for animals)) will make attitude change for animals & wild animals much easier[1]. This makes me think that they would not be in agreement with what you said about “focusing on welfare improvements could end factory farming sooner, but delay abolition for a very long time”, but rather think there would be welfare improvements sooner & abolition sooner. What are your thought on that idea?
I am in agreement though that attitude change for animals is most important in the longterm.

My thoughts are that it’s sensible (and an important component) but insufficient by itself.
