This is great! Thanks for sharing. The Humane League is a very worthwhile charity. I did want to let you know that they also focus a lot of work on farmed chickens -- so if you discount non-mammals very heavily there might be other charities that suit you better. I would encourage you to reconsider this perspective though, since phylogenetic categories don't seem to me to be the best predictor of complex subjective experience (e.g. corvids, cephalopods).
Awesome! I'm coming up on my one year anniversary of my GWWC pledge, and you've inspired me to write a similar post. Let's normalize it!
Amazing! Drop a link here when you post it!

Realizing that I wrote "discount for non-mammals," when what I actually meant was "non land animal." Fixed that – I agree with you overall!
