      The organization opposes factory farming, fur farming, animal testing, and other activities it considers to be exploitation of animals.

      Their focus is literally their name. I don’t think it’s very reasonable to claim “using too much water and electricity” has a meaningful direct impact on the ethical treatment of animals even if it does impact animals negatively.

        The animal industry uses up a hell of a lot more water than AI. And the water usage from AI mostly comes from the efforts to produce that electricity which in this case typically means fossil fuels. These issues would be solved if we were just using renewable energy sources.
