In this episode of Activist we meet the incredible advocate Justin Barker to learn about his success and strategy in taking on the zoo industry and also talk about his powerful story brought to life in his new book "Bear Boy". Justin Barker began campaigning for captive animals at age 13 and created a huge amount of media attention for his cause. Justin's story is both inspiring and heartwarming as it shows what we can all achieve for the animals through hard work and tenacity.
