About Robin Flynn
Expertise
I can answer general questions about many animal rights topics, to include animals in entertainment, factory farming, vivesection & research, animals used for clothing, veganism, etc.

Experience
I am a true animal lover. I started on my vegetarian path at the age of 12 and am now vegan today. I believe we have abused our powers over animals and it is time we make some ethical changes. I choose to fight for animals becasue it is easier than just sitting around and watching the abuse continue to happen. I am a volunteer member of several organizations to include; PETA, PCRM, Sea Shepherd, Farm Sanctuary HSUS, MARC, BADL and Grey2K

Question
Hi, I'm writing a paper on Animal Cruelty and what is happening to animals when
they are tested on. I have a few questions to ask you. My questions are when did
animal testing first begin? What steps/laws have been taken or passed to put an
end to animal testing and What are some specific tests done on the animals... I
know about the Draize test, Lethal poisoning tests, and botox tests, but I'd
like a few more tests.
If I could get a responce back soon that would be great, thank you so much for your
help.
