I am understanding correctly that none of these factors are included in the global health and development effectiveness evaluation?
Correct!
A common response we see is that people reject the radical animal-friendly implications suggested by moral weights and infer that we must have something wrong about animals’ capacity for suffering. While we acknowledge the limitations of our work, we generally think a more fruitful response for those who reject the implications is to look for other reasons to prefer helping humans beyond purely reducing suffering. (When you start imagining people in cages, you rope in all sorts of other values that we think might legitimately tip the scales in favor of helping the human.)
