I think something to note is that while I think animal welfare over the long term is important, I didn’t really spend much time thinking about possible implications of this conclusion in this piece, as I was mostly focused on the justification. I think that a lot of value could be added if some research went into these kinds of considerations, or alternative implications of a longtermist view of animal welfare.
That’s a good point!
