Wu learned that Vitalik Buterin posted a message stating that he has donated another 64 ETH to the Animal Welfare Fund and called for more people to pay attention to animal welfare. Vitalik said that the suffering of billions of animals has not been sufficiently discussed but remains an important issue facing humanity; he is more optimistic about improving this situation in this century, citing better farming practices, synthetic alternatives, and the growing choice of vegetarian/vegan foods.
