“Amazing Race” Terence Gerchberg Vegan: Walk For Farm Animals
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 5th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Reality TV.
Terence Gerchberg was the poor vegetarian soul on The Amazing Race who ate sheep rear during an eating challenge-only to throw it up moments later and be disgusted with the whole ordeal.
Since his stint on Amazing Race, he’s become vegan, according to The “V” Word, and made an appearance at this weekend’s Farm Sanctuary Walk For Animals.
“There was a surprise visit from Terence Gerchberg who competed on The Amazing Race last season. Gerchberg was a vegetarian who faced a challenge to eat meat for money. Today Terence is a vegan who says if ever faced with such a challenge again, he would never go against his ethics and values. Inspiring!”
Way to go Terence!
Besides Terence, Jane Velez-Mitchell gave a speech on her rescue dogs, New York State Assembly member Linda Rosenthal spoke on pets and domestic violence situations, and Shawn Sweeney from the Jane Goodall Institute shared his experiences from the Institute.
