Animal Welfare is so neglected... it is just mind-blowing. 

Thanks Laila! I agree that mediation should not be a guide how to act to 'save others'. But it should, optimally, create the willingness, the wanting, some vision maybe even, to act for others, including, and maybe especially, at the macro effective altruism level, where each one does what he thinks is best to reduce suffering in the world. and this, at the macro level, is missing, in my view. 

Yes I also think probably the EA community is doing more vipassana than the general population, but it is still, I assume, uncommon and is not supported in any structural way  

I didn't hear about such an initiative from Anima International, but if you know any other details about it I would love to hear, thanks!
