Answer
Hi Connor,

That fact was taken from the website http://www.captiveanimals.org. Unfortunately, they have changed the webpage since 2007. However, I'm sure if you write to them they will be able to give you the information you are requesting.
For the Animals,
Robin

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.
