Dr Cynthia Schuck-Paim is the Scientific Director of the Welfare Footprint Project, a scientific effort to quantify animal welfare to inform practice, policy, investing and purchasing decisions.

You can find links and a transcript at www.hearthisidea.com/episodes/schuck.

We discuss:

  • How to begin thinking about quantifying animal experiences in a cross-comparable way
  • Whether the ability to feel pain is unique to big brained animals, or more widespread in the tree of life
  • How fish farming compares to poultry and livestock farming
  • How worried to be about bird flu zoonosis
  • Whether different animal species experience time differently
  • Whether positive experiences like joy could make life worth living for some farmed animals
  • How animal welfare advocates can learn from anti-corruption nonprofits
