Our Annual Reports

Mercy For Animals is one of the leading international charities focused exclusively on protecting farmed animals.

Our 2025 Annual Report

In a year that tested our resolve, we chose to rise. Because supporters like you refused to look away, nearly two billion animals were spared the worst suffering of factory farming this year alone. Together, we exposed the truth, held corporations accountable, expanded access to plant-based food, and built real pathways beyond factory farming. This is what hope looks like when it’s put into action—and it’s already reshaping the future for animals.

—Arash Yomtobian, President and CEO of Mercy For Animals
