in most cases, it still comes down to raw number of animals affected or years of suffering, cost to achieve the impact, and probability of success.
In this case, why not accounting for soil animals? I estimate cage-free and broiler welfare corporate campaigns improve 10.8 and 3.00 chicken-years per $, butdecrease 57.7 M and 331 M soil-animal-years per $. In addition, I estimate cage-free and broiler welfare corporate campaigns increase the welfare of soil ants, termites, springtails, mites, and nematodes 1.15 k and 18.0 k times as much as they increase the welfare of chickens.
Thanks, Neil.
