How to Grow the Shrimp Advocacy Movement

Shrimp are farmed for food in larger numbers than any other animal. There is a developing shrimp advocacy movement, but it needs to grow in order to substantially reduce shrimp suffering. In this webinar, Rethink Priorities will give practical recommendations to advocates who wish to help the movement reach its potential. ​Join us for an interactive and actionable hour with Hannah McKay, Animal Welfare Research Analyst at Rethink Priorities. ​Hannah will recap Rethink Priorities' newest report on shrimp advocacy strategies, then provide recommendations on how the movement can work to help shrimp. ​You will learn: 1. ​Why halting the intensification of the shrimp industry is a priority 2. ​What advocates are already doing to improve shrimp welfare 3. How advocates can appeal to stakeholders with concerns ranging from human rights to food safety to sustainability 4. ​The most important countries to advocate in ​After a short presentation, we will open up the floor for Q&A. We encourage attendees to come with questions – we expect that answers and feedback may be the most valuable! ​This event will take place on Thursday, November 14 at 8am PST / 4pm UTC and will not be recorded.
