INTERVIEW with MARK HAWTHORNE author of the book STRIKING AT THE ROOTS: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO ANIMAL ACTIVISM

Striking at the Roots: A Practical Guide to Animal Activism brings together the most effective tactics for speaking out for animals and gives voice to activists from around the globe, who explain why their models of activism have been successful – and how you can get involved. Concise and full of practical examples and resources, this guide dispels the myths surrounding animal activism and will empower you to make the most of your skills. From simple leafleting to taking direct action, each chapter clearly explains where to begin, what to expect and how to ensure your message is heard.

“Brilliant, easy to read, full of real-life experiences and practical examples. If you want to make your life count, influence others and save a few thousand lives, this book is your roadmap. Give it to everyone you know!”
Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

Mark Hawthorne gave up eating meat after an encounter with one of India’s many cows in 1992, then went vegan a decade later upon visiting Animal Place, an education center and sanctuary for farmed animals near his home in northern California. Beginning in 2004, Mark served as a contributing writer for Satya until the magazine ceased publication in 2007, and he is a frequent contributor to VegNews. His writing has also appeared in Vegan Voice, Herbivore, Hinduism Today, Utne.com and newspapers across the U.S. Mark shares his vegetable crisper with five rabbits rescued by SaveABunny, which works with San Francisco Bay Area animal shelters to find loving homes for rabbits. Much of Mark's writing can be viewed on firstprecept.com. He is currently working on his second book.
