That’s why we put together this list of six uplifting quotes from influential celebrity animal lovers who are with you on this journey!
#2. “I try to look out for the underdog—to look out for the person that really needs help. Animals have feelings. They have their own worlds; they’re sentient.” — Angela Means
You may know Angela Means from her acting, comedy, or even her plant-based restaurant, Jackfruit Cafe. But another big passion in her life? Animals. Even as a child Angela notes that “there’s something about cows.” We’re with you there—cows are the best!
#3. “I feel fortunate to have a voice, and I’m driven to use it to help the voiceless. Animals are at the mercy of humans, and I believe it is our moral imperative to have reverence for all life.” — Persia White
Persia White is an actress, singer, and musician who’s been spreading compassion towards animals since she was just twelve years old. She not only practices kindness by leaving animals off her plate, she’s also outspoken about her support of numerous animal welfare organizations. An animal lover through and through!
#4. “Animals stay in your heart. They help keep your life very full of love.” — Bellamy Young
We were fortunate enough to chat with actress Bellamy Young earlier this year on her “why” around fighting for animal welfare. She’s been publicly advocating for animals for decades, using her voice to speak up for the voiceless. Bellamy even utilizes our very own Fast Action Network to take easy, but meaningful, actions for animals online!

#5. “My hopes for America’s food system center around empowering the people to have more of a hand in the cultivation of food. It’s not hard, and the benefits are immeasurable. More community gardens, windowsill gardens, and rooftop gardens to start!” — Mustafa Shakir

In the words of actress and activist Persia White, “our abuse of power is destroying the planet, our health, and the moral fiber that holds a just society together.”
