Are PainMap event estimates country rankings?

No. Event estimates describe pain in specific animal welfare events and production systems. Place context is a separate proxy layer.

Do the charts claim a perfect human-animal conversion?

No. PainMap uses Welfare Footprint intensity definitions as anchors and preserves uncertainty, assumptions, and source caveats.

Events

Animal pain evidence by event

PainMap's primary layer is event-level animal pain: specific harms such as cages, feed restriction, fast-growing broilers, and poultry slaughter systems. Each row now carries estimate type, confidence, assumptions, last review date, and source links.
