Hi, I’m Angela Simmons’ for PETA. I went on your website, I went on PETA one day, and
at the time I wasn’t a vegetarian yet and I was making the whole transition. And I’m
a vegetarian now, and I really want people to know what happens to animals. They have
feelings. You know, animals have feelings and I think it’s important that we take
action. I don’t want to start any controversy but I guess it’s weird that someone is naked
but you won’t really see anything. It’s classy and I’m not going about it in a crazy
way. I want to open people’s eyes up and I want people to check it out. I want to help
raise money, I want to do things. And if this is where I can find my niche to come help,
I want to help. My uncle Russell Simmons, he has been a vegan for a really long time.
And when I was younger he was a vegan and I kind of paid attention here and there. He
let me watch a video that kind of threw me off. I was like, “I don’t want to eat
anymore meat.” At first, I was really afraid of doing it because of protein, I’m not
going to feel good, I’m going to be weak. There is protein in a lot of things. You can
get your protein from a lot of stuff. And I’m happy with it. I feel lighter…it’s
a good feeling. My fans, you guys can follow PETA on Twitter, get more informed about it,
definitely go to the PETA website. Find out where your niche is. I’m not saying that
you have to be perfect, but at least if you make the effort to begin to do things, then
you’ll see a difference. The more people that are aware, the better.
