MATT ROSSELL -NW Director of In Defense of AnimalsWorld Week for Animals in Laboratories

Tonight on Vegan World Radio is Matt Rossell, Northwest Director of In Defense of Animals. He will talk about World Week for Animals in Laboratories and about his experiences working undercover to expose the cruelties of animal experimentation. Matt Rossell's undercover work began by accident when he responded to the pathetic cries of day-old kittens whos brains were being experimented on at Boys Town Hospital where he worked as a security guard.

 

Since then, his unlikely career investigating animal cruelty has taken him behind the locked laboratory doors, working for two years at OHSU's Oregon National Primate Research Center, under the big top at Walker Brothers Circus, and inside almost every type of factory farm. While secretly collecting evidence to report the abuses, he has seen and done it all, from processing parts on the kill floor of an Omaha slaughterhouse to working during the pelting season on an Illinois fox farm, and legally rescuing 10 fox pups.

 

Rossell now works as the Northwest Director for In Defense of Animals and lives in Portland, Oregon,with his large pack of rescued dogs, chickens, bunnies, his wife, Leslie and daughter, Felix. http://www.idausa.org/
