I love this simple advertisement by PETA which I saw in one of the local dailies some time ago. It's Kellan Lutz affectionately hugging Kola, his rescued mutt-friend. No, it not Kellan Lutz that I fancy here - it's the straightforward and simple awareness that PETA is trying to create and make aware to to the public - a message which I heartily support. Buying a dog or cat from the pet store or breeder is equivalent to robbing the life of an animal at the shelters or streets. It means one less home to go to, thus increases the risk of being put to sleep or end up as roadkill.
I have never been a fan of celebrities appearing charitable as I always think they are merely boosting their own publicity in the name of charity. However, I must say that when it comes to animals, anything goes with me. What's wrong with selfishly satisfying the insatiable as long as an animal's life can be saved. After all, a celebrity's word or action is worth more than that of a plain Jane and Joe.
So there you have it, folks. A crystal clear message coming from the hunk himself - "Buying animals is killing animals. Save a homeless dog or cat - always adopt and NEVER buy."
