Ira Moon

Ira Moon is the Investigations Manager for Animal Justice, an Animal Photojournalism Fellow with We Animals, and a former undercover investigator. They’ve been conducting investigations for 8 years and continue to train new undercover investigators. They have worked undercover in a variety of animal use industries, and witnessed the abuses that all animals face in those environments. Their experiences have led them to explore the broader extractive and racialized labour model on which contemporary animal agriculture largely depends.

In addition to animal advocacy, Ira is active in the anti-war movement and other intersectional social causes. They are based in Tkaronto/Toronto.
