Bob Barker has a feature in Vegetarian Times where he discusses what made him go vegetarian and his devotion to animal charities for the past several decades.

His favorite dish is pasta primavera, which sounds like the perfect food to throw his favorite vegetables of broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and asparagus in.

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.

Ellen DeGeneres is supporting a new Facebook game that allows users to earn points that go towards animal charities, including Farm Sanctuary, The Humane Society of the United States and The World Wildlife Fund.

Each point or “Joy” earned helps contribute to the many needs each individual organization may have, such as food, shelter, medicine and so forth.

The game sounds like fun because even Ellen’s cat likes to play it. That is, when she can remember the password.
