Empirical Research in Farmed Animal Advocacy
October 2022
This list includes all studies we know of published in October that:
are empirical (original, meta-analysis, or review of empirical studies),
are about advocating for farmed animals (rather than, for example, the welfare of farmed animals themselves) or,
provide evidence from basic empirical research that may be of interest to farmed animal advocates.
Please send any suggestions for this list to alina.salmen@animalcharityevaluators.org
