Meet Pete Criss
Born to a poor family in the Himalayas with connections to Toronto's vibrant Tibetan community in Parkdale. Made his fortune early. He was sold into slavery by his parents to Royale Tissues as a Soft Touch Kitten in 1970 for a campaign created by a Toronto ad agency (now Saatchi & Saatchi). Booze, drugs and kitty nip were the obvious temptations, but he kept his eye on the mouse...and pursued an undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto and Phd in law from Harvard University. Now a successful animal rights activist.
