AJ Garcia is a plant based chef, baker, activist, and athlete living in Seoul, South Korea. He runs a plant based burger restaurant named Huggers in Seoul, Korea. Check out @huggersveg on Instagram and his podcast on itunes, titled "Woke Stutters." Some of AJ's accomplishments include: He starved himself for 9 days to protest the killing of zoo animals in front of the Seoul mayor's house. And won! He worked undercover in the Korean dog fighting syndicate. He worked undercover in the exotic animal trade. He worked undercover in the Korean dog meat industry. He has worked undercover in multiple factory farms all over the USA. One case in Wisconsin was responsible for Nestle (the worlds largest food company!) implementing the most comprehensive and far-reaching animal welfare reform in all of human history. This reform includes...an end to the practices of tail docking and dehorning of dairy cattle, an end to the castration of piglets without painkillers, the phaseout of growth promoters for poultry, ending the intensive confinement of baby calves in veal crates, pregnant pigs in gestation crates, and egg-laying hens in battery cages. Literally billions of lives have been touched by AJ's work. He is the 2015 recipient of Mercy For Animals’ Hidden Hero award. He is the president of CARE, the biggest Animal Rights group in Korea. He is working tirelessly to ban the dog meat industry in Korea. For general questions, inquiries, or more information about Kevin, Ben, or AJ, please email [email protected].
