About Me

Hey everyone...thanks for checking out my myspace page! Anyway, here is a bit about me... My name is Mike, I'm 23 years old and live in Perth, Western Australia. I enjoy the outdoors and nature. I love swimming, cycling, movies, shopping, travelling, art, photography and much more!!
My life dream is to protect animals from abuse and neglect. I currently help animals through lobbying government, local campaigns, petitions and letter writing, exposing animal abuse, and working close with animal rights organisation from around the globe. I also recently completed a 2 month internship with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Asia-Pacific, a truly inspiring experience!!
In my spare time I like to relax at home with my bf Josh and spend time with family/ friends. I would like to meet some new people, particularly those who are interested in animals or would like to get more involved in animal rights. Please drop me a line if you want know more: [email protected]
Cheers, Mike
