Mercy For Animals exists to end the greatest cause of suffering on the planet: the exploitation of animals for food, in particular, industrial animal agriculture, aquaculture, and fishing. These forms of food production not only cause egregious animal suffering but have detrimental effects on the planet and people, pollution, habitat destruction, and the rise in chronic and infectious diseases are just a few. The most vulnerable among us—people of color, immigrants, and low-income families—bear the brunt of these effects. We believe that there is no more urgent a problem for the world to unite under than this one, Industrialized animal agriculture, aquaculture, and fishing benefit very few and harm so many. Mercy For Animals is dedicated to eradicating this cruel food system and replacing it with one that is not just kind to animals but essential for the future of our planet and all who share it.
