Animal rights author, attorney, and advocate Allie Phillips visits with her newest book Defending the Defenseless: A Guide to Protecting and Advocating for Pets. Through her first-hand experience, Phillips guides readers through the variety of ways they can help companion animals and offers practical tips to get involved—from donating money, volunteering at animal shelters, protesting animal experimentation, and more. She also discusses her first book, How Shelter Pets are Brokered for Experimentation: Understanding Pound Seizure, which exposes how pounds willingly ‘donate’ pets to be used for the painful and fatal experimentation.
