Summary By identifying and promoting high-impact giving opportunities, Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) aims to help people help more animals. We believe this approach to be particularly important for effective animal advocacy (EAA) because this cause area is not only deeply underfunded, the problem is growing (yet solvable!). During Marginal Funding Week, we present our thoughts on how filling ACE's need for additional funding will empower us to help the movement reduce avoidable suffering for

TL;DR Recently, an argument has circulated claiming that factory farming is net positive because of the effects on soil animals. While I do not personally agree with this argument, I believe nematodes and other soil animals are worth caring about and respect the spirit with which it has been presented. However, I argue that if you truly believe that soil animal welfare is our top priority, arguing in favor of factory farming is not the most efficient way to pursue soil animal welfare, and there are
