[Music] when I see someone wearing a fur coat, the first thing that comes to my mind is why?
Why do you need to have a fur coat? Why, you can just be just as warm in any other kind
of coat that hasn’t, you know been made by killing any animals. Why? And its ugly,
you really look ugly. I don’t think you get it. [Laughing] I wanted to get involved
with PETA’s Anti-Fur campaign, because it’s just how I was raised, to believe that you
should not wear fur and I wanted everyone to know thats what I believe in and I’m
proud of that. So, I wanted to, you know, be part of this campaign and let everybody
know that there are other options and there are other ways around it, and it’s how I
feel. I found a dog on the set of Glee one day when we were shooting on location. He’d
been left outside; his nails had grown into his paws. He has been terribly you know, ignored.
I don’t know how long he had been abandoned. We took him to the vet, we got him all cleaned
up. We put up signs just to make sure it wasn’t a lost dog. But he now has a lovely home,
I named him Charlie and he lives with one of our cast members from Glee. I also found
some kittens on the Paramount lot, that I now have two at home, Sheila and Claude and
I love them very much. One of the best books that I read is the “Skinny ***” book.
It’s an interesting, name because you think when look at the cover that it’s about being
skinny. And which I really don’t care about, but I read it because I heard that it had
really great information about the process, of especially the dairy and meat. I do not
eat meat and after reading that book, I completely changed my mind about the dairy industry as
well. And I definitely think it’s a great book about being healthy and smart and doing
good for you body, while at the same time, being kind and smart to animals. I try to
do as much as I can because it’s just what I’m passionate about. And I think that you
should find what you’re passionate about. If it’s, being anti fur or spay and neutering
your cats and to do everything you can for that because you just live once, and like
I said these animals don’t have a voice ,so why not. I got involved with PETA because
I saw something on television for PETA that really moved me. And I just went on the website
like anyone else and made a comment in the comment box, asked how I can help and PETA
contacted me. And so it’s so easy to get involved. I didn’t get involved because
I had someone call someone; I just go involved by going online. And you can do the same thing.
