Vegetarian Star

Annie Ilonzeh has gone from being one of Charlie’s Angels to an angel for circus animals.

The actress who stars in the new CW series Arrow, has filmed a PSA for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals on how elephants are treated at some circuses.

“[Elephants] are super-emotional creatures, and to have that calf stripped of their mom by humans and abused is the most painful thing to see,” Annie says. “And I feel like if the public were a lot more knowledgeable about the way that they were being trained, where it’s not on a rewards system, it’s on a punishment system, then circuses would not exist—and they should not exist.”

Watch the clip for the full feature with Annie.

‘I’m a vegetarian, although my husband isn’t. I’m not a fanatic, as that can put people off. I didn’t want anything to die so that I could live, it didn’t seem right. No matter what people say, animals face an appalling end, and somehow colluding with that makes me unhappy.”
