(and also note how the problem of animal suffering is discussed by e.g., Martha Nussbaum, or @NicoDelon here. So, what hope does WL Craig offer for wild animals? (I did not peruse all of Reasonable Faith to know--insights welcome) https://t.co/ludRfXIAkN
@contrarianp We might find it intolerable, but we'd probably not be in a good position to engineer it away/do something about it, cool paper by @NicoDelon here--https://t.co/ludRfXIAkN

@dmf0 A sophisticated take by @NicoDelon and Purves: even if you think it's our duty to do this: "The nature of ecosystems leaves us with no reason to predict that interventions would reduce, rather than exacerbate, suffering." https://t.co/ludRfXIAkN

There's a literature on interventions to reduce animal suffering in the wild, Nussbaum's recent claims are not in a vacuum. Delon and Purves argue "the nature of ecosystems leaves us with no reason to predict that interventions would reduce, rather than ex
@peligrietzer @NicoDelon whoops, it’s not a draft it’s published https://t.co/9rsKrhfapZ
@JacobAShell @joelpust you can also think wild animal suffering is bad and also think it would be utter folly to try to alleviate it, because of complexity and unintended consequences. those are the positions of this paper, for example https://t.co/9rsKr
@margopotato Et après il y a des critiques non sur le principe de l'interventionnisme mais en mode 'pessimiste' (on n'en saurait pas assez pour pouvoir intervenir en étant sûr-es de bien réduire la souffrance). Par exemple : https://t.co/GpU7S3hRbu

You all have to read this thread. And this paper: https://t.co/DtnMRLlDQO. This is a group of people who believe we need to remove predators from the ecosystem so that wild life don’t have to suffer the stress of predation. Yes. This is real. Apparently.

Sémi-bière in EPC team (@laboratoire_ese)! Elsa Bonnaud suggested a discussion about possibles innovations to reduce Wild Animal Suffering based on Delon & Purves' article (https://t.co/xKBmjLk0Zq). We are sceptical about the feasibility but the discus
“we need to develop models that predict the effects of interventions on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and animals’ well-being” 👏👏👏 https://t.co/9ENjcv4wnh
