Andreas Jimenez Zoria (Shrimp Welfare Project)

With a single dollar, we can improve the lives of over 2,000 shrimp.

Traditionally, philanthropy has focused on what feels warm and fussy, and shrimp are not very relatable.

Seriously. Shrimp. There's a think tank that looked at all the behaviors that animals like shrimp show, and they show anxiety, they learn from experience, and they tend to wounds if they're hurt.

I was working in investment banking. My wife was helping refugees and I saw how meaningful her work was and I decided to do the same.

Well, not quite. I'm helping shrimp.

The shrimp welfare project.

Well, there's a lot of evidence that they can feel stress and pain.

Not quite. We're actually working to reduce the suffering when they die.

Yes, less painfully.

We make sure that they have a more humane slaughter method. We try to avoid overcrowding. We try to eliminate eyestalk ablation, which is this practice of cutting or crushing of the eyes of female shrimp. There is technology that alleviates suffering by the billions every year. Like what? Like electrical stunning that renders animals unconscious, and then they die, but without feeling any pain.

This is something you're just... No, it's not a sex thing.
