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.

Bob Barker is more than generous with his wealth when it comes to animal charities.

The vegetarian’s most recent donation has helped rescue several circus animals, including lions, monkeys and a horse, from Boliva after the country banned animals in circuses.

A group called Animal Defenders International performed the feat with Barker’s donation and has named a lion cub in his honor.
