“Cost-effectiveness of Shrimp Welfare Project’s Humane Slaughter Initiative” by Vasco Grilo🔸

The views expressed here are my own, not those of my employers. Summary I Fermi estimate the past cost-effectiveness of Shrimp Welfare Project's (SWP's) Humane Slaughter Initiative (HSI) is 433 DALY/$, which is: 28.8 times my estimate for the (marginal) cost-effectiveness of corporate campaigns for chicken welfare, such as the one supported by The Humane League (THL). 43.5 k times my estimate for the cost-effectiveness of GiveWell's top charities. I calculate helping shrimps slaughtered via air asphyxiation is 21.0 times as cost-effective as helping those slaughtered via ice slurry. Consequently, holding the number of shrimps helped per $ constant, it is much better to target producers slaughtering shrimps via air asphyxiation. I believe SWP's work on removing sludge from shrimp ponds might be even more cost-effective than HSI, but it is not clear. Cost-effectiveness of HSI The calculations are in this Sheet. I estimate the past cost-effectiveness of HSI is 433 DALY/$ [...] ---Outline:(00:12) Summary(01:15) Cost-effectiveness of HSI(07:57) Cost-effectiveness of sludge removal(10:18) Acknowledgements--- First published: October 6th, 2024 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/EbQysXxofbSqkbAiT/cost-effectiveness-of-shrimp-welfare-project-s-humane --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
