I think donors who care about both animal and human welfare would have more impact giving to separate projects optimising for each of those goals
I think donors who care about human and animal welfare, in the sense of valuing 1 unit of welfare the same regardless of species, had better support animal welfare interventions roughly exclusively, instead of interventions optimised for human welfare as well as ones optimised for human welfare. I estimate:
Broiler welfare and cage-free campaigns are 168 and 462 times as cost-effective as GiveWell’s top charities.
The Shrimp Welfare Project is 64.3 k as cost-effective as GiveWell’s top charities.
