“I think the main reason people don’t understand what they’re eating is because they don’t see the process the animal goes through,” he said. “Mercy For Animals gives a lot of people an inside look at reality and that’s really important.”
Stodden stated that it is time we “move forward as a society” for our planet and everything.
“Animals are very valuable in saving food and fighting,” Stodden added.
When asked about her hopes for the future food system and the future of the planet’s animals, she immediately called out the fashion industry.

“My hope is that meat is stopped. The fashion industry is redesigning, rethinking, stop using leather, animals, sheepskin, everything,” he said Explosion. “Globally we need to come together and we need to really save the planet and save the animals and I think by doing that everyone will have empathy.”
Stodden concluded, “If everyone had empathy on this planet, I think it would be a better place.”

“I actually wrote a song for animals when I was eight or nine years old and it was about chickens and how chickens are treated unfairly,” the 20-year-old singer admitted.
Although he didn’t remember it off the top of his head, Stecker said he wanted to go back through the archives and pull it up, post it and reissue the song.
The president of Mercy For Animals, Leah Garcés, has been fighting for animals for over two decades.

Garcés Sees More and More People Take Care of Livestock
“We have a lot more work to do, but tonight is about celebrating our success and the progress we’ve made and celebrating everyone who made it happen,” he told us. “The thing that gives me hope, every year I do this, more and more people care about farm animals. People are really changing the way they appear in terms of the way they eat or the way they talk about these issues. There are more plant-based options available and it’s exciting to see the world moving towards where one day all animals will be respected, protected and free.”
Regarding his thoughts on a future world where the use and slaughter of animals will disappear, Garcés told us, “I have no doubt that one day there will be a slaughter-free world. Actually, I just came back from Singapore and I tried slaughter-free meat, which is being worked on in the lab, and it’s MIND-BLOWING.”
Mercy For Animals is hard at work conducting undercover investigations, campaigning to protect animals and get more plant-based options on shelves.
