the Deaf community thinks this is highly unethical as being Deaf is not a bad thing, just different.

Perhaps this is arrogant of me, but I can't help but think that only someone who has never been moved by music, or laughter or birdsong or whatever, could think that.

Can you talk more about the non-invasive data collection methods you use (or perhaps which invasive methods you have avoided using)? What made you decide to restrict your methods in this way? I'm always curious about the potential trade-off between getting more data to potentially help the species vs causing distress or damage to individuals.

Is it not like kickstarter, where the money only gets taken if they reach the goal?
