I think it's no coincidence she specifically works on animals in /captivity/, her public talks basically start with how she was "broken in" like a wild animal as a child having to learn to act like a "normal" person.
- nerdponx 9y agoI always assumed that her objective in working with captive and doomed-for-slaughter animals is that they're the biggest opportunities for mitigating harm. Not sure where I got that idea, maybe just guilt over not being vegan myself.
- robotresearcher 9y agoAnother simple explanation is that there is a large industry around domestic animals, with consulting opportunities that don't exist for wild animals. I don't doubt that improving welfare is important to Grandin, though.
