Vegetarian Star

Stefanie Powers, the actress who starred in the 70s and 80s television series Hart to Hart, went on to become the director of the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy and Game Ranch in Africa and president of the William Holden Wildlife Foundation.

Powers, who can be seen in the Hallmark Channel’s “Meet My Mom” this Saturday at 9PM, had friends who bred bulls in Mexico for bullfighting, and she got an inside glimpse into the industry that is so bloody and cruel.

Powers says consuming animals for food is like partaking in a bullfight everyday, if not worse.

“A bad bullfight is like seeing bad slaughter, which is being done every single day in this country. Our mass consumption of food and animal products has caused us to have tremendously inhumane ways of slaughtering animals en mass. It’s probably not even as humane in some cases as a bullfight. I can prove that by showing you photographs and films of what they do to wild horses when they send them to slaughterhouses. The pain and suffering, fear and agony of those poor animals is beyond any imagining.”

Powers is also interested in stopping the slaughter of wild horses, an animal she thinks is as American as the bald eagle.
