Jennifer Lopez “The Back-Up Plan” Anti Puppy Mill, Organic Farmers
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 23rd, 2010 in Animal Issues, Film & TV, Food & Drink.
Jennifer Lopez‘s new movie, The Backup Plan, has two incredible eco and animal rights themes included in the story line.
Lopez’s character Zoe, is a single woman who gets artificially inseminated only to discover the man of her dreams in a taxi days later.
Zoe has just left her corporate job to take over a pet shop that sold her a disabled dog that came from a puppy mill.
Her true love Stan, played by Alex O’Loughlin, has turned his family farm into an organic one and sells his cheese products at the farmers market.
An animal welfare champ and a locavore getting together to raise a child?
We can smell a protest coming from the crib already.
According National Geographic, buying from a puppy mill is more likely to result in an animal that will need urgent veterinary care for a genetic disease it’s carrying, amplified by inbreeding. These diseases may not surface until several years into its life.
It’s also common to see chronic infections in these animals, such as in the ears and eyes, that can lead to blindness and deafness.

Maybe the real Jennifer will learn some compassion for animals from her character!
