Reaching 17,000 evidence-based animal welfare pages marks a milestone in building the largest freely accessible resource dedicated to improving animal lives through education and action.
Building a comprehensive resource on animal welfare is itself a welfare intervention — access to evidence-based information empowers individuals, advocates, and policymakers to make more effective decisions for animals. Each topic covered represents a species, a system, or a welfare problem affecting millions or billions of individual animals capable of experiencing suffering and positive states. The breadth of animal welfare science today — spanning invertebrates, wild animals, farmed species, laboratory animals, and companions — reflects growing recognition that the moral circle should be drawn around sentience rather than species membership.
