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.




Meet Ally Svenson

MOD Pizza Logo

Ally Svenson is co-founder and protector of the purpose of MOD Pizza, a pizza chain with more than 400 locations across the United States.

Ally Svenson has the power and responsibility to address the chicken cruelty allowed in MOD Pizza’s supply chain.

MOD Pizza recently became the subject of a public awareness campaign highlighting their failure to spare animals horrific suffering by banning the cruelest practices. Many of their competitors, including Blaze Pizza, Papa John’s, and Mellow Mushroom, as well as more than 200 other brands, have already committed to banning the cruelest practices in their supply chains.

MOD Pizza claims to serve “food to feel good about,” but it’s hard to feel good about a company that allows the worst forms of animal cruelty to go unaddressed.

MOD Pizza boasts on their website that they are “mindful of animal ethics.” It’s time for Ally to live up to that claim and use her power to commit to banning the worst chicken cruelty from MOD Pizza’s supply chain. If Ally Svenson listened to her customers’ demands and truly cared about serving “food to feel good about,” she would step up and ban this cruelty at MOD Pizza.
