Kathy Freston is featured in the October issue of Tails Inc., a magazine devoted to all things pet-friendly for pet owners.

All pet owners and anyone who loves animals should be attempting to go vegetarian or vegan, or at least reduce their intake of animal products.

Farmed animals like pigs, chickens and cows are just as smart, loving and compassionate as your own pet. And unhealthy byproducts of the meat industry often end up as pet food, a practice potentially both dangerous and unhealthy.

“I had a little Chihuahua who I was in love with,” Freston explained about one of her motivating factors to go vegan. “She was lying on her back, and I was rubbing her belly. She had a smile on her face, and I could tell how happy she was. I was thinking to myself how much I loved animals. Then a little voice inside my head said, “If you love animals so much, why are you eating them?”

Lea Michelle recently signed a million dollar contract with cosmetics company L’Oreal. Although makeup is supposed to enhance one’s appearance, Michele’s decision isn’t sitting pretty with animal rights activists.

The vegetarian actress who’s appeared in several animal welfare campaigns, including a few for PETA that urges horse-drawn carriages be removed from busy city streets, is drawing criticism because of the company’s policy on animal testing.

Casey Affleck has recorded a new PSA for PETA against dehorning calves in the dairy industry.

“Cows and calves struggle desperately during dehorning,” Casey says in the video. “Thrashing, tossing their heads, rearing up, switching their tails, bellowing, and collapsing to the ground—all signs of severe pain and distress. All these procedures are routinely performed without giving the animals any painkillers whatsoever.”

Dairy industry experts say dehorning is necessary as animals get aggressive on farms and will try to hurt each other with their horns. But animal welfare experts say the process isn’t always done at the optimum age or with proper pain killers.
