Hey, I’m Booboo Stewart for PETA.
Pookie is my dog. She’s a little like poodle kind of dog. She has long hair; sometimes
it covers her eyes. This one guy, he had this dog, I guess they couldn’t take care of
it anymore. It was so afraid, I guess it was being abused. It would follow me around, like
everywhere I would go it would follow me around. So it just ended up being my dog. And my dad
named her Pookie. I can hold her like a baby. She likes putting her legs around me, not
off to one side. If you guys are interested in getting any kind of animal, definitely
go and adopt an animal. Don’t go to the pet store where they just sell their animals.
A lot of people don’t even think about it. You go and you walk by a store and you see
all these cute little puppies in the windows. And you’re like oh my god they’re so cute,
I want to get one. Not thinking about the animals that are in tiny cages by themselves
or sometimes shoved in with a whole bunch of dogs in one cage. A lot of people don’t
realize that that sort of thing is that it’s important, with the platform that we have,
so that we tell as many people as possible that there are animals in cages and that need
help. The annual baby seal hunt in Canada…I actually just watched a video with Kellan
Lutz. Right before I turned away from watching the video, I saw a guy just almost hit a seal,
and it’s just not right. I couldn’t do that to an animal, and I don’t understand
how people can be so careless and kill another life. They have feelings. My dog love me,
I know that. I can tell that when I’m feeling sad, she’s always trying to nudge or nuzzle
my arm. They definitely have feelings. I don’t know how you can just kill innocent animals.
It’s still good to go to your local animal shelters, see if they need any help, any volunteer
work. If they will accept that. That’s the biggest thing, I think. And just love your
animals. Don’t wear any fur, leather, just support animals. And support PETA definitely
on Twitter, Facebook, everything. It’s really important just to talk about it.
