Michael Slusher worked as a research biologist for many years before pursuing a career that was more in line with his ethics and morals. Still interested in animals, he earned a degree in Anthropology, with a focus on Zooarchaeology -- the study of animal remains as found within a human archaeological context. After recognizing the cruel and exploitative role humans play in the lives of animals, he became dedicated to vegan education and outreach. His new book, "They All Had Eyes: Confessions of a Vivisectionist" is his first major step towards that goal. He and his wife currently reside in Santa Fe and are owned by several rescued cats.
