I think I would name the categories a bit differently but your point still stands. Fwiw, I would name the categories:
Large-scale and neglected animal populations (for instance, farmed fish and wild animals)
Large-scale and neglected geographies (for instance, China and India)
On THL UK and OBRAZ being exceptions, briefly, a few thoughts:
THL UK:
We think THL UK has been instrumental to the successes of the broiler movement.
The THL UK team plays a major role in OWA’s global & European progress (e.g., last years helped with training in eastern Europe.
Pretty interested in the specific ways that they are expanding, with more work on fish and legislative efforts.
Generally less concerned about funging with them than we are for some of the other bigger groups in Europe or the US.
OBRAZ:
They do seem to have made, relatively speaking, quite good progress on cage-free. Honestly, to an extent, we have been blown away by the progress they have made on cage-free.
This group has won two major victories in Czechia in recent years. In 2017, the group achieved a ban on fur farming that went into effect in 2019; more recently, they successfully pushed for a ban on cages for laying hens that will become effective in 2027. The recent ban on cages was preceded by successful corporate campaigning efforts led by OBRAZ in partnership with the Open Wing Alliance.
