The Vegetarian Resource Group recently received the following note:

I am just starting research on a book and hope you will participate. The book is called Advocates for Animals: An Inside Look at the Extraordinary Fight to End Animal Suffering. I have a book contract with Rowman & Littlefield. Here is the basic information:

I am looking for animal advocates and activists who volunteer, or work, for rescues or other animal-focused organizations. You might also be involved in work outside of an organization. The study involves an online survey plus an optional follow-up interview.

The survey is found at: http://AdvocatesForAnimalsStudy.weebly.com

The goal of the study is to look at why we became involved in this work, what we actually do for animals, what our goals are in terms of ending animal suffering, and who we, as advocates and activists, are.

I am a longtime animal rights activist, a sociologist, and a vegan for 30+ years. Please visit my website at http://loribgirshick.weebly.com. I can be reached at [email protected] with any questions.
