Just did it. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for sharing and for your incredibly important work!
Thank you for sharing these insights!!
I would like to add another possible positive indirect effect of banning / reducing the sale of live animals. I could imagine that seeing live animals suffering and considering this situation as “normal” will have a negative impact on general attitudes towards animals. Especially children could adopt this view that it’s “normal” to buy live animals and kill them—and it’s perhaps more unlikely that they question this practice later on.
However, I agree that it is difficult to continue with a campaign if the short-term effect is unclear / (potentially) negative and you have to argue against the argument that your campaign is causing harm. If there are better alternatives, it seems a good choice to me.
The organizers of P4A say that charities with the most votes get the money. In last years it was ~30 charities: https://fightworldsuck.org/#Grants
Cool initiative!
In the Netherlands, there is an umbrella organization for vegan student associations: https://www.vsanetherlands.nl/ Perhaps, it could be interesting to exchange experience?
Who did fill out the survey or which “key groups” are represented?
Great initiative and excited to see the incubatees!
Can you give an overview how much funding went into the different world regions, in the payout reports? For example XX% to organizations in North America, XX% in Africa,… I would find it interesting (especially if you want to focus on neglected regions)!
