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.

Watch the clip below.

No Comments

Skin Trade, a documentary on what goes on behind the scenes in the fur industry, is scheduled to be available on DVD September 14th, 2010.

Produced by Shannon Keith, animal rights attorney and founder of Animal Rescue, Media & Education (ARME), a nonprofit animal-advocacy group, Skin Trade is a definite must for activists looking for tools to educate others on what animals turned into fashion endure, but as Ecouterre points out, it shouldn’t necessarily be watched with a bowl of popcorn or your own pet in your lap as its graphic scenes are not for the faint of heart.

Jorja Fox Backs End Dog Fighting Campaign

Genesis Awards 2009

Jorja Fox is speaking out against dog fighting, backing a campaign by the Humane Society of the United States that aims to end the cruel sport.

According to Contact Music, Fox told People.com, “The more you know (about dog fighting), the less you want to know. It’s terrifying. When I heard about this project last spring, I called the Humane Society and said if they wanted help, to call on me. It’s a brilliant program.”

Fox said that although most people think of pit bulls as the only victims of dog fighting, other dogs are often in danger.

Fox said the program by the Humane Society works to help at risk youth realize there is greater value in owning an animal than having it partake in violent activities.

“Pit bulls are smart and healthy – they can do so much. So the organization works to get kids showing that off, and getting excited about that, instead of falling into the dark side. Dogs like Malteses and Jack Russell terriers end up getting stolen in communities where kids are dog fighting, used as training material for the pit bulls. It’s awful.”
