Saving children from malaria, diarrheal disease, lead poisoning, or treating cataracts and obstetric fistula is hard to argue against without sounding like a bad person.
I think this is also true for some of the more moderate/less weird animal welfare reforms we ask for:
not keeping birds or mammals in cages or crates their whole lives,
not using breeds of chickens that grow so fast they have chronic pain, and
humane slaughter.
But this may be less true for plant-based advocacy, invertebrate welfare and wild animal welfare. Open Phil has stopped funding work in the last two.
