Rational hedonism: treatment of pleasure and pain in animals vs. human moral patients
Animal welfare is fanatical, but that's a good thing
Animal welfare prioritization
We must treat animals with the same moral consideration as humans, because they have subjective experiences and the capacity for suffering. This view is a form of moral egalitarianism, which holds that all beings with interests, regardless of their species, should be treated as having equal moral status. I'll argue that this view is supported

Animal welfare organizations sometimes measure success by the number of animals adopted, but this can be a misleading metric. When animals are adopted, it may be because of virtue signaling rather than a genuine interest in providing a loving home. The animal may be treated poorly, and the adoption may be a way for the person to feel good
