Justin Bieber PETA Ad Says Adopted Pets Make “U Smile”
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 20th, 2011 in Animal Issues, Male Singers.
Justin Bieber has done another PETA ad, his current one advocating adopting a pet at a shelter versus buying one from a store or breeder.
Playing on his hit song, “U Smile,” the ad reads, “Animals can make u smile. Adopt from your local shelter.”
Many people use the excuse that they need (or want) a purebred animal to avoid a shelter. But Dr. Debbye Turner Bell, veterinarian and CBS News correspondent says that about 25-30% of shelter animals are purebreds.
Howard Stern‘s wife Beth Ostrowsky Stern used an example in her book about dog care on how purebreeds can land in positions of needing adoption as well. A former show dog that had developed a physical deformity and was no longer “of use” to its owner found itself sharing a permanent address with Howard and Beth.
Dr. Bell has included several valuable tips for choosing your next pet from the shelter at CBS News, including how to evaluate the shelter for properly caring for animals and providing potential owners with healthy pets, questions to ask before choosing one and what dog is most appropriate based on your lifestyle.
