Would certainly like to see a more informed argument against the “net negative” case; I basically think it’s received wisdom in EA circles a bit too quickly.
There is this preprint from Heather Browning and Walter Weit pushing against the view that wild animal welfare is negative. I think their take (and I agree) is that we simply do not know enough to be any confident either way (positive or negative).
Hi Linch,

Thanks, appreciate the link!
