At Mercy For Animals, protecting the rights of farmed animals is our top priority. We also recognize the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and want MOD Pizza to be able to do everything it can to prevent the spread of this virus. To that end, we have temporarily suspended our public awareness campaign.
