I listened to your talk, and it’s great to see this sort of topic getting real-estate on TED. The fact it wasn’t too preachy was well played, in my opinion. “Talk about factory farming.”—I like this message because it’s so unclear what one can even do outside of changing their diet, which is alienating to some.
Speaking from my own experience, the topic of animal welfare simply needed someone to leave the door ajar, and I was able to look behind it by my own investigation. I think the ‘wanting not to know’ is (and always will be) the biggest hurdle in the animal advocacy space.
