“In animal welfare, I can sometimes know that I have a solid chance of reducing the suffering of some animals in the near-term, and that’s potentially worth doing as long as you’re, uh, careful about the risks of doing harm. And the bracketing people have said that this can be good, so there’s at least one element of justification.”
