Alistair worked on farmed-animal and vivisection campaigns for Uncaged Campaigns, Viva! and the the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection before coming to PETA in 2007. He is now the policy adviser for the organisation. His work focuses on ending animal experimentation and maximising PETA's impact on public policy in the UK and the European Union. His widely varied responsibilities include meeting with Cabinet ministers, mobilising PETA supporters, lobbying politicians, speaking on national television and in numerous public talks and debates (including those held by the prestigious Oxford Union) and conducting detailed technical work on animal testing and the use of alternatives to animal experiments. Staying in touch with his local campaigner roots, he still occasionally dons the odd animal costume for one of PETA's eye-catching photo opportunities.
