Like many, I was deeply saddened today to hear of the unexpected death of popular writer and columnist Sam de Brito.Sad because the loss of anyone, in this case a single father, is always a tragedy, but moreso because Sam had a good heart and was willing to speak out for the voiceless victims of our society – animals.
It was Sam who exposed Cochlear Ltd’s cruel cat experiments in mainstream media.
During our conversations discussing the article he touched on other areas of animal exploitation and it was clear that the systematic abuse of animals by humans was a heavy burden that was difficult for him (as it is with many of us) to bear.
His columns were passionate and thought provoking. I’m going to miss them during my Sunday breakfasts.
Humane Research Australia will be forever grateful to Sam for exposing the Cochlear/Bionics cat experiments - and other issues of animal cruelty - and extend our deepest condolences to his family.
