Matt Rossell's undercover work began by accident when he responded to the pathetic cries of day-old kittens whose brains were being experimented on at Boys Town Hospital. Since then, his unlikely career investigating animal cruelty has taken him behind the locked laboratory doors of OHSU's Oregon National Primate Research Center, under the big top at Walker Brothers Circus, and inside almost every type of factory farm. While secretly collecting evidence to report the abuses, he has seen and done it all, from processing parts on the kill floor of an Omaha slaughterhouse to rescuing fox pups from an Illinois fur farmer. Rossell now works as the Northwest Outreach Coordinator for In Defense of Animals and lives in Portland, Oregon with his large pack of rescued dogs, chickens, a cat, his wife, Leslie, and daughter, Felix, the most recent addition.
