\\n

I\\u2019m joined by Rob Laidlaw, the founder of\\xa0Zoocheck, a wildlife protection organization based in Canada.\\xa0 He\\u2019s an\\xa0author of ten children\\u2019s books, a chartered biologist, a speaker, and one of the most successful animal rights advocates of the century.\\xa0

He\\u2019s down to earth, humble and kind, and does not seem to be deterred by the roadblocks we often hit as we fight for animals.\\xa0 He\\u2019s a wealth of knowledge, and we\\u2019re so thankful that he shared his thoughts and perspectives with us in this interview.
