This has been the year of celebs sticking up for animals, let me tell ya! So picking PETA’s Man and Woman of the Year was not an easy task and one I’m glad I didn’t have to do. But it just so happens that two of my fave people have been honored (I swear, I didn’t have anything to do with it). The fabulously funny Ellen DeGeneres and the always stylish Tim Gunn have been named PETA’s People of the Year!
Congrats, Tim and Ellen! It’s almost time for peta2 to name our Person of the Year in our annual Libby Awards … got any suggestions? I’m sure you do. Leave a comment below telling me who you’d nominate for peta2′s Person of the Year, then check back in January to see if your faves made the list and vote!
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Hello! My name is Nina, and I am a musician-in-training, and I play 7 instruments. I am a liberal, an LGBT activist, avid reader, composer, singer, and poi spinner. I am vegan, and a strong supporter of animal rights.
Born and raised in Mexico. I love vegan food and animals!
I was born in Canada and love peta2. I table every month and meet new people:older and younger. I love music and play the recorder. I'm a 6 year spelling bee champion. Again I love peta2!
I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
I'm tall, I love sewing, fashion and the environment, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.) Obviously, I love animals! :)

Hey everybody:
Ringling Bros. Circus “The Saddest Show on Earth’ is on their daily trek of exploiting animals, abusing and breaking their spirits for human entertainment. Contact your local HSUS or Peta so you can print up brochures and spread the word for people not to take their kids to the circus. Many times, they abuse the elephants right in front of them. Kid can go home crying. See http://www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com. They are so cruel. I don’t know how they are still getting away with it.
Write your local Senator and Governor to BAN animal circuses. It is nothing but abuse!!!
