About this title

Synopsis

The vice president of PETA describes the high-profile and often incendiary awareness-raising events that have marked his career, from the demonstration during which he dressed like a carrot to promote vegetarianism only to have farming children throw bologna slices at him, to his attack on a GM Rose Parade float to protest their use of animals in crash tests. 40,000 first printing.
