What People Are Saying
"Marshmallows Are Their Favorite
needs to be widely read."
Peter Singer
Author of Animal Liberation
"A thriller, an exposé, even a love story. But even more than that, it is an intensely personal and revealing journey of one woman willing to risk her own safety as she navigates two identities in an attempt to shine a light on the truth."
Ari Solomon & Mikko Alanne
Award-winning producers of The Animal People
"Unforgiving, empathetic, raw and real. An eye-opener. A broken system that is fundamentally cruel, crude, and irrelevant in these technological times."
Ingrid Newkirk
Founder and Principal, PETA, and author of numerous books, including Animalkind
"Lindsay Oliver's courageous work clearly and shockingly reveals that too often scientists neglect this basic responsibility to nature's sentient and vulnerable beings. This honest story must be told."
John Gluck, Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus, former animal researcher, and author of Voracious Science and Vulnerable Animals
