(The closest I currently see to this is Effective Animal Activism. It's a charity evaluator for people who think animals matter a lot. [1] Their current evidence is not very strong [2] but I'm excited about the experiments they're running now (though I do have some concerns) and did some volunteer surveying for them.)
[1] GiveWell's view on animals is "We also place value on reducing
animal's suffering, though our guess is that the type of suffering
animals experience is of a kind that we would not weigh as heavily as
the type of suffering that humans experience." I would go farther,
and say that I'm not sure the type of suffering animals experience
matters at all.
[2] They are based on surveys which I have found various problems with, primarily missing control groups.
