[Music Playing] [Metta] This is Metta World Peace for PETA.
I think it's important that I stay active with PETA because I've had animals since I
was a child. To have a group out there that loves animals as much as, like, individuals,
animals need that support. It's a basic love that animals bring to your household. It's
something that only animals could do. I recommend people adopt from shelters instead of buying
from breeders and pet stores. Adopting from shelters should be your first option. You
do it together, you win. That's how I look at life, that's how I look at my career, my
job. See people chanting 'World Peace,' you know, for two reasons: one, because of me,
and two, because it's actually for world peace, and people can always have that vision. Before
you invite an animal into your family, you should definitely make sure you have enough
time that you can take care of that animal. I remember when I was a young teen, and a
young pet owner, I didn't have time, I didn't know how to raise the animal, potty-train
my doggies, the things that's necessary for a new dog coming into your family. So before
you make that decision, you've gotta do your checks and balances, and make sure that
you can be a responsible pet owner. I would advise people if they were to see an animal
in trouble, to call a rescue service, even call PETA. They have cruelty services 24 hours
that can help animals that are in trouble.
