We started a charity to alleviate wild fish suffering. We spent $30k trying to contact fish farmers via email. This didn't work, so we gave up. We consider the project a success.

well I mean at least they spent a reasonable amount of money. It is very easy to see hundreds to millions of K sinked to projects with similar complexity and get not much in return.

the reasonable amount of money on such a non-project is closer to $0

@dgerard Exactly. Fish deserve whatever suffering comes their way.

@grumpybozo @dgerard it’s ok to eat fish, they don’t have any feelings
