I’m really excited about this! I’ll be watching it closely, because starting something similar here in Australia could be interesting.
My experience working in policy has been that it can either be surprisingly tractable or surprisingly intractable. Achieving change in energy policy in Australia has been surprisingly easy, and achieving change in farmed animal policy in Australia has been surprisingly hard.
I’m not sure yet which of the two would be most analogous to wild animal welfare. Farmed animal policy has strong entrenched interests, but perhaps wild animal welfare doesn’t because many don’t care about the issue as much one way or the other. It could be easy to get some quick wins.
