Meet The Act Now For Animals Team
Michael
michaels@actnowforanimals.com
Michael is the founder of Act Now For Animals, which was started in August 2008. Michael first become involved in animal rights after visiting Vegetarians International Voice for Animals’ website and learning about the largely unpublicised massacre of kangaroos in Australia.
Michael started Act Now For Animals because he felt there was a lack of reliable information for vegans in Australia, he also needed a way to publicise his kangaroo and mouse glue trap campaigns.
He has interned for PETA Asia-Pacific and previously cared for wildlife for three years. It was while caring for wildlife that Michael started considering the difference between the animals he was saving and the farm animals he was eating and so his journey to veganism began.
Michael dedicates a large part of his life to helping animals and is particularly passionate about campaigning against the killing of wildlife and animals that are considered ‘pests’.
His favourite recipe is vegan cheesecake. |

Cass
cass@actnowforanimals.com
Cass first became involved in animal rights after watching Earthlings and learning about the suffering and misery of farm animals. She originally started cutting meat from her diet for health reasons but since watching earthlings, it’s been all about the animals.
Cass has always adored animals and dreamed of working with them, but since becoming involved in animal rights, Cass feels the best way to help animals is to be vegan and work towards changing the way that society views animals.
Cass joined the Act Now For Animals team in 2009 and assists with developing recipes for the vegan food resource and helping write about animal issues.
In her spare time, Cass loves to cook and prove to omnivores that vegan food can be healthy, nutritious and most importantly - TASTY! She loves to bake any sort of cake, biscuit or dessert!
