Being beaten for what you believe in is nothing exceptionally shocking for animal conservationist Anthony Marr…

 

“I don’t see being beaten up as being a personal sacrifice. It’s a professional risk. It just comes with the job.”…

 

… In 1996, Marr and WCWC launched one of the most high profile animal conservation crusades Canada has ever seen…

 

DD: “Your story is certainly one of personal conviction.”

 

AM: “Well, I have a lot of respect for children. When young children, in elementary school, tell me they think killing animals for fun is wrong, I feel an obligation to champion their cause, because they cannot yet speak for themselves. That is a very powerful motivation for me… I also have my own personal feelings, of course… and I do love these animals that they kill.”
