Hey James, I thought I would comment as it seems my channel has slipped through your net, but I have been making videos about wild animal suffering + farmed animal suffering on YouTube. Here's an example of a wild animal suffering video but there's a whole playlist of videos on the subject:
I started my channel 9 years ago after going down the vegan rabbit hole and wanting to convince others to become vegan. Over time I became "more EA" in my thinking. I've also made content about S-risks:
The channel has received over 3 million views in total but I have neglected it in recent years due to another project I've been working on. This is the year I hope to focus on YouTube properly :)
The vast majority of sentient beings are non-human animals, and the problem of animal suffering is far more neglected compared to global health. I think it's also worth noting that we are probably quite biased against taking animal suffering as seriously as we should (we live in an extremely speciesist culture, we belong to the human species, animal suffering tends to be hidden/out of sight, etc).
I'm currently directing a documentary about farmed animal suffering and slaughterhouse workers, but the logline is more like, 'Son of a slaughterhouse worker uncovers the shocking trauma experienced by slaughterhouse workers, and the ones they kill."
It would be great to connect. I have a trailer and a pitch-deck I can share with you if you would like to learn more about my project. My email is [email protected]
Thanks Grace! Would love to hear what you think :)
Thank you :)

Hi! I'm Jack and I'm based in London.

Thank you so much for writing this. It's terribly sad that the extreme suffering of farmed animals essentially goes unnoticed. It turns out that barn fires happen every year in the US. Last year, half a million chickens burned. The year before, nearly 700,000 burned.
I recently published a YouTube video covering this story on my channel, inspired by Bentham's bulldog's post.
