Why we exist

Hello animal-lover! I'm Dyllan, a 4th year undergrad at Stanford. I strongly believe that animal welfare is the most pressing problem in the world. I mostly think this is because the conditions in factory farms are far, far worse than people realize, a fact I discovered after watching the documentary Dominion.

After I joined the animal movement, I realized that there were tons of opportunities to help animals by pressuring governments and corporations. However, these opportunities are scattered across many websites and often easy to miss.

I also wanted to know which opportunities should take the highest priority. I realized that, like the best charities, the best campaigns have disproportionate impact. Good campaigns benefit thousands of animals, but the most effective can help tens of millions.

I made Effective Animal Action to aggregate and prioritize these opportunities. I hope it can be useful to you and thank you so much for helping animals!
