Jorja Fox

Some of us can credit a specific person in our lives that brought us closer to vegetarianism and animal rights.

Actress Jorja Fox recalls the day her grandmother warned her that animals’ natural environments were being threatened.

“She had this amazingly progressive philosophy regarding animals,” Fox told Vegetarian Times. “I remember watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom as a little kid, and they’re talking about habitat issues and she’s saying to me, “We have to do something about this.”

Fox recently recorded a PSA for Animals Defenders International to educated the public on the treatment of circus animals. The clip shows beautiful images of elephants walking across the Earth outdoors. The peaceful imagery is a sharp contrast to the elephants that are then shown in a circus environment.
