I wanted to get involved with PETA’s animal adoption campaign for the one reason that
there’s countless numbers of animals out there, and it’s
our job to take them under our wing, and take care of them, and give them a place to live.
I went to numerous animal clinics and animal shelters and I saw this dog from the back
of the corner, she was in the cage with another bigger
dog, just scared. You can feel the pain that they go through, and she put her head down,
put her back against the fence, and I touched her coat
and I was, like, ‘Hey, what’s your name?,’ and just kind of spoke gentle to her, and
she didn’t bark, she seemed very depressed, and I was,
like, ‘I want to see this dog,’ and the guy working there, he’s, like, ‘well,
she’s a puller’ and all these things that a lot of people don’t
want in the dog; they want a dog that’ll listen; you know, when you go on a walk, you
want to walk the dog, not the dog walk you; and I didn’t
care, something spoke to me, so I brought her outside and right away she came around
and just put her head between my legs and sold herself;
she wanted a home and I think she felt that I was the right owner for her. And from that
day on I loved her. Kola is my best friend. I looked in her eyes and there was just one
of those, like, ‘you’re for me’ and then I looked at her and I’m, like, ‘you’re
for me.’

I love mutts; if anything I think mutts stay the healthiest. And, they’re just from any
mix: cats, dogs, any type of animal, there’s such a
wide range of them.

There are, surprisingly, so many animals, so many animals in these animal shelters even
here in L.A. [footage of animals in cages] that they
can’t have their own cage, and it’s sad, and knowing that they get euthanized, and
they just can’t house them all, and there’s a lot you can do: spay or neuter
your pets so that doesn’t happen.
[There’s Nothing Fashionable About Fur] on screen
In Canada there’s the seal hunting and skinning [video footage on screen]. That’s huge,
‘cause seals are adorable, they’re cute, and it doesn’t
matter how ugly an animal is or how cute it is, it’s wrong, it’s wrong to kill an
animal. I don’t like fur, I would never wear fur;
there’s so many knockoffs why need a real thing, there’s just no reason.
[What You Can Do to Help Animals] on screen
For the fans of Twilight who are out there, have so much love, give that love for these
books and these characters to a pet if you don’t have
one. Animals, seriously, know when you’re sad, when you’re happy. Twilighters, if
you can, do it. Adopt a pet.
