Mark Hawthorne

Mark Hawthorne is the author of Striking at the Roots: A Practical Guide to Animal Activism (www.strikingattheroots.com). Mark adopted a vegetarian lifestyle soon after an encounter with one of India's many cows in 1992 and went vegan a decade later. He was a contributing writer for Satya from 2004 until the magazine ceased publishing in June of 2007, and his articles, book reviews, essays and opinion pieces have also appeared in Herbivore, VegNews, Vegan Voice, Hinduism Today and many daily newspapers across the United States. He recently worked with thousands of other activists to help pass California's Proposition 2, an historic ballot measure that will phase out the use of battery cages, gestation crates and veal crates in the state by 2015.

Mark is a volunteer for Animal Place, a vegan education center and sanctuary for farmed animals in northern California, where he serves on the outreach advisory council. He is also involved in rabbit rescue and shares his vegetable crisper with five rescued rabbits. He maintains an activism blog at http://strikingattheroots.wordpress.com/.
