Chris DeRose: This actor is a hero for animals!

Chris DeRose is an animal rights activist, recipient of the 1977 'Courage of Conscience' International Peace Award and a actor.
He appeared on General Hospital, Cagney and Lacey, CHiPs, The Rockford Files and Baretta. He was an on-camera reporter for the television shows Hard Copy and Inside Edition.
DeRose was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is the founder and president of Last Chance for Animals and the author of the book In Your Face: From Actor to Animal Activist. DeRose has been arrested 11 times and jailed four times for opposing animal cruelty, including his participation in a break-in at the UCLA Brain Research Institute in 1988.
"Dealing Dogs", broadcast on HBO, documents the project that was designed to expose Martin Creek Kennel's inhumane treatment of dogs and violations of the law. The investigation was initiated by Last Chance for Animals, a Los Angeles-based animal-rights group. Chris DeRose, the founder and president of Last Chance for Animals, said he hoped "Dealing Dogs" would speed the passage of the Pet Safety and Protection Act, which amends the Animal Welfare Act to ensure that dogs and cats used by research facilities are obtained legally. "We want to put them out of business," Mr. DeRose said of the crooked Class B dealers.

He is a terrorist who helps bomb the homes of research scientists. He is pure scum.

He's not an actor. He's a terrorist.

He's one of the true good guys, awesome video showing how one person can change things for the better. Wish there were more like him in this world.

Thank you, Hollywood star. If you can get the message out that hundreds of thousands have worked on for decades to get these horrors into the public eye, my hat is off to you.
