I think the best case for prioritising helping animals over humans is that the best animal welfare interventions are way more cost-effective than the best human welfare interventions. I estimate:
Cage-free campaigns are 462 times as cost-effective as GiveWell’s top charities.
The Shrimp Welfare Project (SWP) has been 64.3 k times my estimate for the cost-effectiveness of GiveWell’s top charities.
