Very excited about this! I also completely agree that you don't need to be an "animal person" to found an animal welfare charity. Less than 12 months before I decided to found AWASH, a fish welfare charity in Ghana, I was pretty sure I'd work on something in the Global Health space. Fast forward 2 years, and I love focusing on animal welfare and genuinely believe it's one of the most pressing cause areas. I'm excited for more people in the space!

Interesting post! I definitely second the call to fund more quality animal welfare research. It's surprising how poor some research is, even when peer-reviewed. I especially like the specification of "action-relevant" research, as this is key. Especially when trying to implement interventions in LMICs, often lab studies aren't applicable. 

Thanks Daniel! Looking forward to collaborating with AWL
