Join us for a compelling presentation!

This talk will present a brief overview of the scientific evidence that the animals we eat have the capacity to suffer and why reducing their suffering should matter to effective altruists. We will end by trying to answer the question of whether donating to animal charities actually contributes to reducing animal suffering.
