Dan Mathews–the vice-president of PETA and the figure responsible for bringing Paul McCartney, Chrissie Hynde, Morrissey, Pamela Anderson and others into the PETA fold, and for many of the more attention-grabbing campaigns–discusses his fabulous, fascinating, fun and funny new autobiography, “Committed: A Rabble-Rouser’s Memoir” (which chronicles his 20+ years at PETA starting as a receptionist, providing wry observations and often-hilarious accounts of staging protests, launching campaigns, wearing costumes and more) and fields listener questions about topics ranging from deer hunting to PETA’s proposed pit bull ban, and more.
