Glee actor, vegan beauty, and peta2 pal Lea Michele is once again showing that she’s got a heart to match her lovely voice by calling for an end to the “dangerous” and “scary” horse-drawn carriage industry in new video and print PSAs for peta2. Horses who are forced to pull carriages endure long workdays while exposed to extreme temperatures and dangerous traffic and are often denied adequate rest, water, and food.
Lea sat down for an interview with peta2 to discuss the miserable conditions that she’s seen these animals endure, and she hopes that others will join her in the campaign to shut down the horse-drawn carriage industry.
Check out Lea’s new print PSA and video exposé here.
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

thankyou soo much Lea !!! you make a differance.you are a person who thought the exact same thing as me.How would any of you people out there like to be hauling a carriage (which weigh tons and think of the tourists they have to pull too!!) all day long in the danger of cars lorries and the busy traffic that looks impossible to cross (i live in the UK so im not sure how people can get through it all with out being hit)?If you got on all four nd climbed up and down your stairs four timesthats what these beauties go through every day.How would you like to have dirty water and a so called stall which is more like a closet,to try and sleep in?? Well these gorgeous cretures work till death to give touristsa ride around town.If to many people disagree on stopping this torture then maybe you could split off a site where NO VEIHCLES ALLOWED and HORSE CARRIAGES ONLY so people can still enjoy a SHORT ride.Also these horses would be given their dream come true.Something called a stable.Would you like to help ?Give these horses a chance.Why do they deserve this? Please help.Thankyou xx

Hopefully such a popular star will make the horses plight more widely known.
