Amber Canavan teaches Joe about PETA and animal rights activism!

Amber Canavan is the Vegan Campaigns Project Manager at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), where she focuses mainly on helping animals used for food. Her victories include persuading Costco, Target, and Albertsons to stop selling coconut milk sourced from brands that depend on forced monkey labor in Thailand; getting Kikkoman to end decades-long experiments on animals; and helping to get a ban on the sale of foie gras from force-fed birds passed in New York City. Before coming to PETA, she earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
