The votes are in! Star champion for animals Lea Michele has won a Do Something Award in the TV Star: Female category. Known for all her solid work standing up for horses who are forced to suffer in traffic—sustaining injuries and contracting diseases—to lead carriages in New York City, Lea isn’t afraid to expose the realities behind horse-drawn carriage cruelty.
It’s time for the horse-drawn carriage industry to end. Please join Lea in calling for an end to horse-drawn carriages in New York City. Contact NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn and urge her to support a bill seeking to replace the carriages with eco-friendly classic cars.
You can write to Quinn at quinn@council.nyc.ny.us.
Need more info for your e-mail? Check out Lea’s video about the horse-drawn carriage industry.
The 2012 Do Something Awards show airs TONIGHT on VH1. Check your local listings for the time, and tune in to see all the hottest celebs who are out there making a difference!

peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
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'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
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 love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
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 :)
