I support both clauses. I see a moral argument or at least a reasonable justification for favoring humans over animals, holding measured ‘ability to feel pain constant’.
However, I’m convinced by the evidence that funding to support programs like corporate campaigns for cage-free eggs are likely to be effective, and have vastly higher welfare gains per dollar, by most reasonable measures of relative chicken/human welfare.
The animal welfare space has very little funding and $100 million is likely to make a substantial positive difference, both directly/immediately, and in shifting cultural and political attitudes.
