The other thing you can do, of course, is to support animal advocacy organizations, and particularly those advocating for farmed animals, because that is, as I said, just overwhelmingly where most of the suffering we inflict on animals is.

a disproportionate amount of funds compared to the number of animals in need of assistance, the number of dogs and cats in need of assistance, as compared with the number of chickens, pigs, cows, and also fish in need of assistance.

I don't believe we should treat, I mean, I should say, of course, obviously they have different needs, but I think in terms of the amount of weight we give their interests and the extent to which we ignore or discount their interests, as we're clearly doing with turkeys to a vastly greater extent than we're doing with dogs, that just seems to me to be wrong.

And in Consider the Turkey, I actually describe the life of one turkey, Cornelius, who was lucky enough to be taken to a sanctuary for animals, where Cornelius marched into the house and the people running the sanctuary and said, you know, most of the animals were outside in various enclosures, and said, I'm going to live here.

There was a pig already living in the house, a pig called Esther, and Cornelius and Esther became firm friends. They would spend a lot of time cuddling up on the sofa together, and that was tolerated by the people running the sanctuary. When Esther had to go to the vet and stay overnight for a couple of days because of medical needs,

Cornelius went out to the gate where Esther had left from and would watch for Esther to return and when Esther eventually did come back they were basically sort of embracing and cuddling with each other because they were both so happy to be together again.

The first takeaway I would say is to examine what you're eating and think about what you're eating and what that is doing both to animals and to the planet. The second takeaway is to think what you're doing with your money, because if you're fortunate enough to have more than you need to meet your basic needs, there are many other good things you can do with them.

I've already mentioned donating to animal advocacy organizations, but you can also donate to organizations assisting people in extreme poverty. And one of the other things that I do, I founded a charity called The Life You Can Save, which is actually a charity that recommends other charities.
