When you first meet Aaron Ross you could mistake him for a rock star — sunglasses rest on his head and colourful tattoos weave their way along his arms. As we travel across the country on our way to a small farm animal sanctuary, the vice president of policy and strategy at The Humane League talks with passion, focus and dedication on ending the suffering of animals raised to be food.
“The Humane League, which is funded entirely by donations from the public, is a vegan organisation,” says Aaron. “We promote a plant-based diet, and believe that the best solution that individuals can choose to help solve the massive problems of factory farming, the environment, health and animal welfare, is to choose vegan meals.”
