2014	April 4	Interview	ACE publishes an interview with American animal activist Matt Ball, who co-founded and served as executive director of Vegan Outreach for over twenty years.

2014	May	Charity review	ACE publishes its first review on Top Charity-ranked The Humane League (THL), a nonprofit which engages in a variety of programs that aim to persuade individuals and organizations to adopt behaviors that reduce farmed animal suffering. ACE recommends THL due to its "exceptionally strong commitment to using studies and systematic data collection to guide their approach to advocacy", and finds THL an excellent giving opportunity because of its strong programs and evidence-driven outlook.^[14] ACE also publishes its first review on Mercy For Animals, which engages in a variety of farmed animal advocacy programs generally centered around their undercover investigations and subsequent videos of factory farms.^[15]

2015	June 2	Interview	ACE publishes interview with Australian moral philosopher Peter Singer. In the interview, Singer states that we don’t really know how to prevent wild animal suffering, and argues that the likely ways of preventing wild animal suffering would lead to a confrontation with values that many environmentalists regard as no less important than the reduction of animal suffering.^[28]
