Our first guest is Chris DeRose a forty-year veteran of the animal rights movement and as such, is one of the movement’s founders. He founded Last Chance for Animals in 1984 after a chance encounter with a stray dog sparked a realization that animals have feelings and must be respected as God’s creatures.
Chris left a promising career as an actor to start Last Chance for Animals and quickly gained notoriety for raiding animal testing labs to free animals.Today, the laws have changed and his activism is confined to advocacy,awareness, undercover investigations and fighting unlawful legislation that protects those who would abuse animals.
