Become a
Mercy For Animals Canada
Investigator
Mercy For Animals
Canada is dedicated to preventing cruelty to farmed animals and promoting
compassionate food choices and policies.
Undercover
investigations are vital to exposing and preventing farmed animal abuse. Nearly
every piece of animal-friendly legislation, change in corporate animal welfare
policy, or the
most powerful change of all—the decision by countless people to
adopt compassionate vegetarian diets—stems from the work of an undercover
investigator.
The job of an
undercover investigator is certainly not for everyone. Mercy For Animals Canada
investigators must make quick, but tough, decisions as to the best courses of
action for the animals confined, neglected, tormented, or killed before them,
while abiding by all laws, ensuring their personal safety, keeping their cover,
and compiling the evidence necessary to hold animal abusers accountable.
MFA Canada’s
investigators serve as the eyes and ears of the public. They must be prepared
to witness unimaginable abuses while maintaining their composure and cover to
ensure that MFA Canada can expose the hidden realities of factory farming.
Documenting cruelty
and violence at factory farms and slaughter plants is not glamorous—it’s
heartbreaking, disgusting, and horrific. Despite the hardships and horrors,
undercover investigations are the most vital tool the animal protection
movement has at its disposal and undercover investigators are without a doubt the
greatest unsung heroes of our times.

we’re looking for:
