Clark Wed, 02 Feb 2011 16:29:23 +0000 http://www.ecorazzi.com/?p=28251#comment-1387882 I don't think that giving CHECKS to animal shelters is evidence that she is an activist for animal RIGHTS. I believe that it's evidence that she funds animal shelters, but as good as amelioration is, does that transform the legal underpinnings of a society that (a) dismissively exploits animals AND (b) consistently trades off the rights of one set of groups of persons for the interests of the others (as in FEEDING domesticated animals). She may be representative of the health benefits of plant-based diets, but I don't think that celebrities as such as really spokespersons for vegetarianism, which can be either (a) value-neutral or (b) a deep expression of concern for others.
