The humanely is a very collaborative organization. We try to see ourselves as a component of the overall movement that we work with in. A major piece guiding our strategy every every year or a few years was how can we contribute the most in our role within the movement. But mostly we focused on kind of expanding campaigns through the open-wing alliance. So not THL opening offices, but rather bringing this vision of a shared campaign to other organizations and giving them grant funding and trainings.
David Coman-Hidy is former President of The Humane League, one of the largest farm animal advocacy organisations in the world. He now works as a Partner at Sharpen Strategy working to coach animal advocacy organisations.
In this episode, we discuss the age-old debate facing animal advocates: Should we pursue incremental approaches to improve welfare or should we only advocate for the total abolition of animal exploitation. Additionally, David also shares some approaches he would like to see more of within the animal advocacy movement, as well as what we could learn from other social movements.
