Well, back of the envelope, unvetted: global health medical R&D is $6B annually (so that’s, every year, 300x the $20M figure all-time figure 😬). But also … is cage vs. cage-free just a medical issue, or is it virtually everything salient about the environment? And would that make it more comparable to medical + economic + psychology + … where would we stop?
Neglectedness, for these sentient beings that do not have access to democratic, economic, or substantial portions of charitable resources is… high.
P.S. I skimmed your profile and was heartened to read this post. I shifted more fully into animal welfare work a few years ago now and have continually been drawn in by learning things like just how neglected the cause area is and hence how much potential for more impact exists, but also how much investment is warranted.
