As we step into 2026, thank you to everyone who shared their voice in our recent supporter survey. Your insights are invaluable in guiding Animal Outlook's mission to create a kinder world for animals.
The results are in, and one thing is certain: 100% of you are driven by a shared goal of preventing animal suffering and advancing animal rights. This shared commitment is the beating heart of everything we do. Your trust in our impact (76%) and support for our investigations and campaigns (60%) fuel our determination to expose the truth and hold the animal agriculture industry accountable in the year ahead.
One finding that particularly stands out is the diversity of dietary journeys in our community. While 33% of you identify as vegan and 20% as vegetarian, nearly half (47%) of you are occasional-to-frequent meat and dairy eaters. We want you to know: Wherever you are on this path—we're here to support you. Every compassionate choice counts. Whether you're making New Year's resolutions or simply exploring vegan options, your impact is staggering. When you choose plants over animal products, every single day, you:
🐾 Save one animal's life
💧 Conserve 1,100 gallons of water
🌾 Preserve 40 pounds of grain
🌳 Protect 30 square feet of forest
🩺 Lower your risk of cancer, stroke, heart disease, and diabetes
68% of you asked for more vegan recipes and tips. We heard you! This New Year, transitioning to plant-based eating isn't about giving up the foods you love—it's about discovering new ways to enjoy them. Almost any dish can be reimagined:
✓ Pulled pork becomes tender pulled jackfruit
✓ Chicken wings transform into crispy cauliflower wings
✓ Tuna salad becomes hearty chickpea salad
✓ Mac and cheese turns into creamy cashew mac
✓ Scrambled eggs are replaced with golden tofu scramble
Simple swaps make any recipe vegan: from plant-based butter to egg-free mayo to non-dairy milk. In baking, half a mashed banana or ¼ cup applesauce can replace one egg. It's that easy. Ready to make 2026 your most compassionate year yet?
Thank you for your compassion. Together in 2026, we're not just inspiring change—we're creating a kinder future for animals, one meal at a time.
For the animals,
Casey Kern
