About Me

Mercy For Animals is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal advocacy organization that believes non-human animals are irreplaceable individuals with morally significant interests and hence rights, including the right to live free of suffering. Founded in 1999, MFA is dedicated to establishing and defending the rights of all animals.
Given that over 99% of animal cruelty in the United States occurs in the production of meat, dairy, and eggs, MFA's main function is promoting a vegan diet. Through public education and advertisement campaigns, research and investigations, rescues, working with news media, and grassroots activism, Mercy For Animals works to end animal abuse wherever it is found and create a culture where all animals are treated with the respect and compassion they deserve.
