Anthony Marr
Founder, Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE) and the Global Anti-Hunting Coalition (GAHC)

Anthony Marr has been described as a "one man revolution" by academics aware of his revolutionary thinking, speaking and writing, and a "one man wrecking crew" by the media that covered his anti-hunting road tour in which he debated large groups of hunters up to 120 at a time over 30 times throughout British Columbia over a period of 2 months. One way or another, Anthony Marr is an individual activist, which most activists are in their own beginnings. He was honored with the Henry Spira Grassroots Activist Award at the AR2010 conference, not for no reason.
