Ethan Smith is a freelance writer was born in British Columbia, and grew up on a small dairy farm in the the West Kootenays. Smith credits his early experience witnessing the strong bond between cows and their calves, and the trauma of the early separation for both the mother and the calf - as triggering awareness about animal sentience. Years later, his increasing awareness of the plight of animals turned him into the animal advocate he is today.

In 2004, he published 'Softly On This Earth: Joining Those Who Are Healing Our Planet.', a collection of essays written by 32 activists from Canada and the United States who work to make the world a more sustainable and humane place to live. In 2007, he co-authored with Guy Dauncey 'Building An Ark: 101 Solutions to Animal Suffering'.

Smith presently lives in British Columbia’s southern Gulf Islands.
