Great post, David! I strongly upvoted it. Thanks for standing up for your convictions.
To avoid compromising my convictions in an attempt to be strategic, I advocate for protecting the inviolable rights of animals. This is why IP28 seeks to ban the intentional injury, killing, and forced breeding of animals in Oregon including for slaughter, hunting, and experimentation.
I strongly endorse expectational total hedonistic utilitarianism. So I think having factory-farmed animals with positive lives, which I believeis possible, is better than not having any factory-farmed animals. However, I suppose more incremental welfarist interventions also benefit from your initiative due to the radical flank effect, so I am happy about it.
I appreciate your comment and upvote Vasco! I’m glad that it sounds like you see campaigns like IP28 as being able to help stimulate the kinds of public conversations that can benefit other campaigns and lead to improvements in animals’ lives, even without IP28 needing to pass.
