This is a series of posts investigating how human activity, especially food production, affects animals, especially wild animals, at a large scale.

It will largely cover ground overlapping heavily with Brian Tomasik’s articles on the topic, but includes my own semi-independent impressions, more in-depth investigation in a few directions, some updated literature reviews. Furthermore, it won’t be specifically suffering-focused, and instead more agnostic.

A good place to start is How Does Vegetarianism Impact Wild-Animal Suffering? by Brian Tomasik, which summarizes and references his other articles on the topic, and provides a broad overview of potential impacts.
