Youâve hit the nail on the head! The idea on the face of it seems so unusual, but once I talk through the scale, neglectedness and tractability of the problem, Iâve yet to find anyone who isnât convinced by it (except maybe my parents...)
I have been slightly bowled over by the number of people who have âgot itâ, but as you say, this is largely because Iâm talking to EAs. But even with non-EAs, describing welfare issues such as eyestalk ablation, dying of disease or suffocating due to lack of oxygen seems to be pretty well understood and hasnât come across as controversial...
Weâre really excited to see what lies ahead for us, and canât wait to see the progress you make on insect welfare! :)
