Dan Mathews (PETA) In Australia

Written by Michael Wilson

Dan Mathews is the irreverent force responsible for making PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) one of the most enduring, powerful and annoying pressure groups in the world.

He has dressed up as a carrot, and a priest and a cow. Launched the legendary "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign nude on the streets of Tokyo and has been arrested more than twenty times in a career that's seen him crashing fashion shows and spray painting offices. Most recently PETA went into battle against the Australian wool industry, condemning mulesing worldwide and won.

In his memoir COMMITTED, Mathews offers the complete story of his remarkable life and outrageous career at PETA, from his start in 1985 as a receptionist to today as its Vice President. He recounts the most hilarious and horrific experiences of both his personal and professional life, delivering a witty, bold and passionate memoir that reveals how one man's unyielding devotion to animals has helped change the world.
