Hello, I'm struggling to find the most effective animal charity to donate to. I care about DALY's averted and I value some species over others based on their capacity to feel pain.
I've tried looking at ACE recommended charities but there are so many to pick from and the rating are void of any quantifiable metric beside "high" and "very high" impact. Maybe I'm wrong but I got sick of searching.
Which charity or fund is the best to prevent DALYs? Have any DALY calculations been done on this charity?
In case it's helpful, I figured I'd share a few reasons why these quantifiable metrics are so tricky to find.
All of these point together generally support a much more qualitative type of evaluation in the animal space. While qualitative information may be much less precise, it has the possibility of being much more accurate. Meanwhile quantitative metrics are likely to be more precise, but are also very prone to being inaccurate given the budget and sample size constraints.
Thank you for your comment, it makes sense why quantitatively measuring a charity as a whole is extremely difficult and not as meaningful as I would think.
