This is a good point, but I think Henry’s post should probably be read as above the consequences of a “movement towards animal welfare interventions and away from global health interventions”—i.e., a major increase in the scope and ambition of AW efforts, especially if seen as at the cost of GW efforts.
Broadly speaking, I would say that the major efforts have been things that could draw on meaningful pre-existing popular support and that the things that could provoke backlash have tended to be small enough (or focused on internal spaces like the Forum) to not be on the general population’s radar. How much AW can expand within the former category (and without going too much into the latter) is one of my major uncertainties for funding allocation.
