> for-profit organisations get more done because of the constant pressure they feel to perform.

How is it possible that changing the primary existential goal from "save animals" to "make profits" will lead to more efficient animal saving rather than loss of efficiency in animal saving for the sake of profit? That seems like the exact opposite of what would happen.




If saving the animals = more profit, then more animals will be saved. That's the argument, at least, not saying it's feasible.


All you did was repeat the argument without adding any plausible explanation.


Is it really necessary to explain that people desire to enrich themselves, therefore they seek profit, therefore they will do things which resulted in profit?


It necessary to explain when you magically hand-wave in that it's going to benefit the environment and natural animal populations when all evidence and logic indicates the opposite.
