Have you ever considered the moral arguments compelling us to rescue animals from their suffering?



Great progress has been made in expanding empathy to encompass people of diverse genders, ethnicity, and sexual orientations. This represents a clearly positive expanding of humanity's moral circle. However, every year billions of animals are still slaughtered by the animal agricultural industry. Orders of magnitude more creatures live in the wild. In this talk, Jamie Harris will consider the case for expanding humanity’s moral circle to include these animals.



Before working for Animal Advocacy Careers, Jamie was a researcher for the Sentience Institute, where he still works part-time and hosts a podcast. Sentience Institute is a think tank founded on the principles of Effective Altruism, with the mission of expanding humanity’s moral circle, and the aim to build its recommendations on the basis of evidence-based research. Jamie also manages Effective Animal Altruism London, where he seeks to expand the impact of local animal advocacy groups.



Everyone is welcome to this free event, whether you're familiar with effective altruism or not. Snacks will be provided as always! :)
