Executive summary: Small-farmed-animal reducetarian deep questioning is proposed as one of the most cost-effective public outreach strategies for reducing animal suffering, involving asking specific questions to encourage people to reduce consumption of products from small farmed animals.
Key points:
Focus on small farmed animals (e.g. chickens, fish) as they likely contribute most to global suffering.
Aim for reducetarian behavior change rather than veganism, as it’s more achievable for most people.
Deep questioning method is evidence-based and effective for changing behaviors and attitudes.
Targets young couples/households for maximum impact and mutual support.
Requires minimal resources and coordination, making it accessible for volunteers.
Includes a detailed example script of questions to use in conversations, addressing welfare comparisons, current habits, and willingness to try alternatives.
