Meatless Mouthful–Constance Marie On Society’s Treatment Of Animals
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 25th, 2011 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Meatless Mouthful.
“Ultimately as a society, the better we treat animals, it says a lot more about us. I understand if people choose to eat animals, but you don’t have to treat them cruelly.”
—Constance Marie, actress who’s been a vegetarian for 25 years, at the Humane Society’s 25th annual Genesis Awards.
Constance’s view that even meat eaters can step up the compassion is mirrored by the Humane Society’s work on the legislative level to bring changes to the way farm animals are treated. The HSUS has successfully gotten laws passed in states like California, Maine and Michigan that prohibit confining certain types of farm animals like pigs, calves and egg-laying hens to crates and small cages.
