Dr. Heather Rally spent the last decade at the PETA Foundation as a supervising veterinarian for captive animal law enforcement. What that means is she's led investigative and enforcement actions in cases of abuse of animals in roadside zoos, circuses and pretty much anywhere captive animal are on exhibit in the US. And, sadly, there are a lot of these places.

Heather\u2019s training is in marine mammals. For seven years, she worked with the Oceanic Preservation Society to document and expose environmental crimes and animal welfare violations across the world by doing undercover investigations for the documentary film, Racing Extinction.

In that time, she helped expose and put an end to the illegal sale of endangered species and brought global attention to the exponential rate of extinction that\u2019s happening all over the planet.

Heather truly is a superhero. Listen to her episode and I think you\u2019ll agree.
