Thanks for sharing, Alex! I think the benefits from feeding feral cats to soil nematodes, mites, and springtails are much larger than those to the feral cats themselves. I estimate the benefits of buying beef to those soil animals are 1.82 M times the benefits to cows.
Thanks for drawing attention to this, Vasco! I am not yet at that level of satori to consider the well-being of soil nematodes, mites, and springtailsābut who knows, maybe some day ā¦ ;)
Thanks, Alex! You may find it interesting that Rethink Priorities (RP) estimated nematodes to be 6.8 % likely to be sentient, 82.9 % (= 0.068/ā0.082) as likely as silkworms, and 15.1 % (= 0.068/ā0.451) as likely as salmon.
