“Rather, we’re taking a precautionary framework about insects being sentient and asking how to improve their welfare if they are”.
If this is the case, i think this mission could have been made a bit more clear on @Bob Fischer ’s funding post and on the website itself. Re-reading the post though that sentiment does come through if a bit unclearly. On a first read i really did think a big part of it was still researching insect sentience.
Also on a completely side/ personal note I’m a bit concerned that you “would love to not be co-running a bug granting charity as a volunteer in addition to my two other jobs!” I think we are generally more productive if we are happy doing what we love and the work is sustainable. I’ve tried at times dying on the altar of important work and it wasn’t helpful for me or the work!
