Actor Lara Dutta has become the new face of PETA’s Go Vegetarian
campaign. The actor recently shot for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wearing a Gavin Miguel dress made of lettuce leaves and other vegetables.
The former-Miss Universe says, “Even seemingly small choices can have a big impact on our health, our community and the world around us,” she says. “Going vegetarian is one of the easiest ways to improve our health, help countless animals and protect the earth.”
An official from PETA informs us that the ‘going vegetarian’ campaign roots for anti-meat drive as the meat industry causes animal suffering on a massive scale. Figures indicate that many animals are subjected to torture as chickens are crowded by the thousands into dark sheds that reek of ammonia from the accumulated waste in which the animals are forced to stand.
Other animals like birds, goats, sheep, pigs, even cows and other animals are crammed in a small place and killed painfully. The organization also suggest that cruelty towards fish is on the rise as on the decks of fishing boats, fish are often cut open while they are still alive.
The organization debates that people who follow a plant-based diet have lower rates of heart disease, strokes, cancer, diabetes and obesity than meat-eaters. Meat production also consumes far more water, land and other natural resources than producing vegetarian foods.
