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.

Expertise

I can answer general questions about many animal rights topics, to include animals in entertainment, factory farming, vivisection & 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 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 because it is easier than just sitting around and watching the abuse continue to happen.

Organizations
I am a volunteer member of several organizations to include; PETA, PCRM, Sea Shepherd, Farm Sanctuary, HSUS, MARC, and Grey2K. The closest organization to my heart is The Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. This place is truly amazing and its run by some really cool compassionate people. You can check them out at http://www.woodstocksanctuary.org/

Education/Credentials
Many years caring for different species of animals.
