Our Values

Our values inform every action we take, guiding us towards a more compassionate future for farmed animals.

Compassion

Our circle of compassion is wide. It encompasses not only animals but all victims of industrial animal agriculture. We hold one another and those who may not share our vision in our hearts.

Impact

To reduce the most suffering for the most animals, we evaluate and reevaluate our effectiveness. To optimise the impact of our supporters’ investment in our work, we insist that our approach be data-driven, evidence-based, and maximally change-making.

Integrity

Mercy For Animals holds those who uphold systems of oppression accountable. We also hold ourselves accountable—to the utmost standards and to our word. We give credit where credit is due, and we value transparency.

Innovation

We believe that embracing new ideas and creative solutions keeps us ahead in a rapidly changing environment. By fostering a culture of collaboration and open-mindedness, we encourage our team members to think inventively.

At Mercy For Animals, we believe in creating a kinder, more compassionate world where every animal is treated with respect and dignity. Together, we can make a difference and build a future free from cruelty and suffering.

—Leah Garcés, CEO, Mercy For Animals

Global-Mindedness

Mercy For Animals works wherever farmed animals suffer most. We believe that optimally effective work is founded on regional perspectives and local diversity, innovation, and leadership. Our regional offices operate with autonomy, yet we remain a unified force.

Equity

To remove barriers to our organisation, our mission, and the movement, we analyse power structures and strive to redistribute power and resources. Promoting greater equity will equip individuals and communities to thrive in advancing our shared mission.

Collaboration

We collaborate with others working to create a more just and equitable way to feed the world, whether or not their backgrounds and experiences match ours. We reach across the table to help those involved with factory farming find alternatives and reduce suffering.
