Committed

Autor Dan Mathews
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2009
A hilarious memoir of the author who became a crusader for the most downtrodden individuals of all - animals. It tells how he strutted naked before a fur convention in Tokyo, halted GM's use of animals in crash tests by storming a parade float dressed as a rabbit, and sabotaged a fashion show in Milan dressed as a priest.

Notă biografică

Dan Mathews was born and raised in Orange County, California, by a single mother who encouraged her three boys to bring home stray animals. In high school, he was beaten up for being gay and credits those rough times with helping him develop the thick skin needed to be an animal activist. He spent two years in Italy working as a fashion model and bit-part actor before returning to the US to earn a degree in history from American University in Washington, DC. Shortly afterwards, he began working at PETA as a receptionist and within a year was organizing protests. As PETA’s Director of Campaigns, he helps increase awareness of the rights of animals through high-profile events. He has been arrested for his activities more than twenty times but usually gets released from jail within a day. Through a unique combination of sex, humor, and glamour, he has turned animal rights into one of the hottest causes of the last two decades.

-- Bill Maher
"The ideal American hero."

-- Andy Dick
"If you only read one book this year (like me), this is it."

"Hilarious! Reads like James Bond on acid, with freaky costumes, police chases, jet-set intrigue, and a kick-ass sense of justice."

-- Pink
