If a dollar given to an organization has a sizeable probability of averting an enormous amount of suffering and averts an enormous amount of expected suffering, it’s very good to donate to the organization.
A dollar given to the shrimp welfare project has a sizeable probability of averting an enormous amount of suffering and averts an enormous amount of expected suffering.
So it’s very good to give to the shrimp welfare project.
Wouldn’t it just be a lot more reasonable to only buy shrimp from farms that stun the shrimp before killing them? I could then save my dollar for a cause where I cannot just proceed to economically optimize for a fix. In the limit, this would save just as many shrimp and donate just as much to other causes that people find personally meaningful.
