Kathy Freston Gives Pet Lovers Vegan Advice In “Tails Inc.”

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?”

Rachael Ray and her dog Isaboo can be found on the cover of the October 2010 issue of pet magazine Tails Inc.

Inside, Ray discusses her charity, Rachael’s Rescue, which donates money she earns through her dog food line Nutrish, to North Shore Animal League, ASPCA, Bad Rap, and Vet Pets, with the remainder of the money going to smaller organizations dedicated to animal rescue and welfare that doesn’t involve euthanasia.

Ray fell in love with a pit bull, Boo, in her twenties. From there, she vowed only to own the breed so many  people are banning and shying away from.

“I’m committed the rest of my life to having only Pit Bulls. People are so ignorant, and they’ve outlawed them in so many communities and some states, that I just think it’s my mission in life to prove to people that there’s no such thing as an evil animal. There are only evil humans.”

“I’ve always loved animals. When I was growing up, we had pets, and I was taught early on that you have to respect animals. All of the animals I have ever known, especially dogs, either like someone or they don’t. They can run up to some people and lick them, yet with others they just walk off because they are nervous. I always think that kind of thing probably says a lot. I honestly believe they have a sense about people and what they are like. But their charm is also their trust; when you have a pet, they have to trust you to take care of them. And that’s why I get so angry when you see animals hurt by [guardians] whom they trust.”
