Oliver became an activist at the age of eight when, after learning about animal use in science, he started distributing anti-vivisection leaflets in people’s mailboxes.  He later participated in many anti-bullfighting campaigns, and has been involved with the local animal rights scene since 2001.  He also regularly writes letters in support of human rights around the world.

Oliver has been a vegetarian for 14 years, and a vegan for more than 6 years.  When not working or doing activism, he can be found sipping organic and fair trade spiced tea, or making (and eating!) vegan chocolate cakes and cookies.

Since spotting a book about the philosophy behind animal rights in a bookstore, she literally became a vegan overnight. Some things in life come your way at the most unexpected times. Natasha has since decided to pursue a law degree at Dalhousie University in preparation for what will be a lifetime of animal advocacy work.
