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 animal are treated with the respect and compassion
they deserve.
In 2005, Chicago-based Protecting Animals USA merged with
Mercy For Animals. MFA has nearly 6,000 members and offices in Columbus, OH and
Chicago, IL.
