Committed

A hilarious memoir of the author who became a crusader for the most downtrodden individuals of all - animals. It tells how he strutted naked before a fur convention in Tokyo, halted GM's use of animals in crash tests by storming a parade float dressed as a rabbit, and sabotaged a fashion show in Milan dressed as a priest.

"Committed" is an offbeat, hilarious memoir that shows how the most ridiculed punching-bag in school became an internationally renowned crusader for the most downtrodden individuals of all - animals. As the irreverent force behind the colorful and controversial crusades carried out by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), one of the most effective and enduring pressure groups in the world, Mathews has strutted naked before a fur convention in Tokyo, halted GM's use of animals in crash tests by storming a parade float dressed as a rabbit, and sabotaged a fashion show in Milan dressed as a priest. With self-deprecating wit and candour, Mathews reveals all the details of his unorthodox coming-of-age and equally outrageous career.
