The only other public writing on âthe impact of reducing the number of farmed animals on wild animal sufferingâ that comes to mind is Brianâs other articles, Matheny & Chan, 2005 and Shulman, 2013.
I have (so far) unpublished estimates for the number and moral weights of terrestrial wild insects and terrestrial wild arthropods affected by animal agriculture, applying Brianâs bottom-up estimation approach to different farmed species (chickens, pigs, beef cows, shrimp, black soldier flies, multiple commonly farmed fish species) and with direct land use by animal farms. Unsurprisingly, the ratio of wild animals affected to farmed animals affected is generally smaller for smaller farmed animals.
Iâm working on a few other projects in this sequence first and donât have a specific timeline for publication, so if you (or anyone else seeing this comment) would like a look at these estimates ahead of time, let me know and I can share them.
Hi Keyvan, thanks for the support! :)
