DAVID ROBINSON SIMON

VEG STAGE SPEAKER: David Robinson Simon is a lawyer and animal advocate.

His book “Meatonomics” (Conari Press, 2013) explores the economic system

underlying meat and dairy production. Among other things, he shows that

producers have kept animal food prices artificially low by imposing their

production costs on society, and the resulting low prices are the main reason

Americans consume more meat per capita than anyone else on the planet.

Dave is the founder or co-founder of several vegan and/or animal rights groups,

including Orange County Vegan Drinks (meetup.com/ocvegandrinks), the

Greater Orange County Animal Rights Roundtable (meetup.com/gocart), and

Orange County Verbal Vegans. He is also a member of the board of directors of

Animal Protection and Rescue League (APRL) and the APRL Fund, non-profit

organizations dedicated to ending animal abuse.

Dave received his B.A. from U.C. Berkeley and his J.D. from the University of

Southern California. He works as general counsel for a healthcare company,

and when he’s not at work, he provides legal support for animal advocates. His

legal efforts (including three lawsuits) have forced many shopping malls in

Southern California to increase the access privileges accorded to animal

activists.

in mind.
