Hi FAST folks!

My name is Lisa, and I'm the new(ish) Managing Director at We Animals. You may know us for Jo-Anne McArthur’s award-winning animal photojournalism or for our stock platform of more than 30,000 visuals available for free to anyone helping animals. You may not know that we’re also available to conduct investigations with or for other organizations!

Do you need strong visuals or photographic evidence to make your campaigns more compelling, but don't have the resources or infrastructure to do this well? That’s where we can help! 

Compelling Visual Storytelling: Our team of experienced animal photojournalists specializes in capturing the reality of animals' lives. We create high-quality, impactful photos and video clips to support your campaigns and advocacy work.

Global Reach: Our founder Jo-Anne has been documenting animal stories since 2003 and over the last several years We Animals has built and mentored a global network of more than 120 extremely talented photojournalists to help us conduct investigations on any continent. 

Our Assignment Services:

  1. Collaborations: We collaborate with NGOs and other advocacy groups on initiatives and campaigns that fall within We Animals’ areas of focus. You provide the local ground support, We Animals provides the photojournalists, and we share the costs and the content. Together, we increase the impact by releasing a campaign in tandem.
     
  2. Service Assignments: Our service assignments are project-based engagements designed to meet the needs of NGOs working on issues that either fall outside of our areas of focus, or where you prefer to have exclusive use of the content. This could include documenting evidence for a legal case, creating promotional materials for your organization or brand (yes, we do commercial work too!) or creating materials for your exclusive campaign. In this case, we produce the visuals, you cover the costs and we embargo the content until you’re ready to share.

Areas of Focus

At this time, we are especially interested in collaborating on projects focused on chickens, fish or crustaceans, and farmed animals in Asia and Latin America. (Don't let that stop you from reaching out with any inquiry about another topic!)

Chat With Us

If you're interested in working with We Animals, let me know! Reply to this email with a brief description of your project and I’ll be in touch shortly. 

OR, to get the ball rolling even faster, tell us more about your campaign, your needs and your timeline by filling out this 2-minute form, and we’ll be in touch to let you know how we can help.


Yours,

Lisa

Cross-posted from the Effective Altruism Forum. Original link here. Co-written with a language model. TL;DR: Large language models like ChatGPT influence the choices of hundreds of millions of users — including when it comes to food. Yet in ambiguous cases (e.g. “Recommend me a quick dinner”), ChatGPT often defaults to factory-farmed meat dishes. This post argues that such defaults are not neutral and that OpenAI’s assistant could reduce enormous suffering by subtly favoring plant-based meals when no preference is stated. Drawing on behavioral science, AI alignment principles, and messaging research from Pax Fauna and the Sentience Institute, I suggest concrete steps OpenAI could take and invite readers to send feedback to OpenAI to shape the ethical defaults of future AI systems. ---------------------------------------- Factory farming likely causes more suffering than all human violence combined. This claim might seem extreme at first, but the numbers back it up. Over 80 billion land animals and up to 3 trillion aquatic animals are killed each year for food, most enduring severe suffering for weeks or months. Confinement, mutilation without pain relief, and deprivation of natural behaviors are common in standard industrial practices. For example: * Broiler chickens suffer from painful bone deformities and lameness due to unnatural growth rates. * Egg-laying hens are confined in cages so small they cannot spread their wings. * Fish are killed by asphyxiation, freezing, or live gutting — often without stunning. If we conservatively assume each of 50 billion land animals experiences just two months of intense suffering per year, that’s over 8 billion animal-years of suffering annually. This dwarfs even the cumulative human toll of organized violence throughout history (around 2 billion human-years of suffering in the 20th century, which is likely an overestimate). In terms of suffering intensity, duration, and sheer numbers, factory farming plausibly exceed

Hello everyone! We’re pleased to announce our first cage-free commitment from a supermarket: Franco Supermercado, a retailer with four stores in Arequipa and one in Lima, has committed to selling only 100% cage-free eggs by the end of 2026. Commitment link: You can see the publication of the commitment in this LINK. Scale: National (Perú) Timeline:  Compromiso Verde first established contact during a visit to Arequipa in April 2023. We followed up during a second trip in September 2024, where we arranged an in-person meeting. After several months without a response, we successfully reengaged the company by sending a corporate gift for Friendship Day. This gesture led to two additional face-to-face meetings in February 2025, during which we also explored how Compromiso Verde could support them in developing a cage-free egg farm through our PROBA certification program for local producers. ARBA began conversations with Franco Supermercado in November 2024 through emails, WhatsApp messages, and phone calls. Who: Compromiso Verde and ARBA Unsuccessful Tactics: None. Successful Tactics: In-person meetings at the company’s offices in Lima and Arequipa, delivered a corporate gift, and offered support for cage-free egg production through the PROBA program. Scalability: This commitment is significant as it comes from a supermarket chain with locations in Peru's two largest cities. Follow Up: We will stay in touch to request reports and validate compliance with the commitment.  Thank you!
