Speaker Biographies
RYAN HULING
A cross-country road trip at age 19 changed Ryan Huling's life forever. As the Boston native drove through the farm country of North Texas and looked at the windowless warehouses dotting the landscape, he wondered what was going on inside that the farmers were hiding from public view. During his junior year, Huling interned at PETA and participated in PETA protests, including an anti-fur protest at the 2004 presidential inauguration and the Running of the Nudes (a humane alternative to the Running of the Bulls) in Pamplona, Spain. Today, Huling heads up peta2's college campaigns and outreach efforts, liaising with student activists, overseeing peta2's concert outreach at Warped Tour and other high-profile events, and helping students organize campus campaigns. Huling's efforts to promote animal rights have garnered him interviews with television and radio stations and newspapers across the country, including Fox News, CNN, and Fox Business Channel.
