Veg Gals Mary Tyler Moore, Bernadette Peters Hosting Broadway Barks
Written by Vegetarian Star on July 10th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues.
Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters, both vegetarian women who love animals, will once again host the 11th annual Broadway Barks, a celebrity rich cat and dog adopt-a-thon benefiting New York city’s animal shelters and adoption agencies.
Twenty four-legged creatures will be up for adoption at the event this Saturday, July 11 between 3:30 and 6:30 PM at Schubert Alley in New York City.
If you think this is just another reason for celebrities to get their faces in the press, think again. This deal saves lives!
“According to recent statistics, we learned that we are making a difference,” said Mary Tyler Moore. “In 2002, the rate of euthanasia among shelter animals was at 74% of total intake. We are proud that as a result of our efforts, in 2008, the number of animals killed in NYC shelters has dropped to 39% of total intake. That means nearly 15,000 fewer animals have been euthanized in our city’s shelters compared to 2003.”
