Audrina Patridge Grows PETA Wings

Audrina Patridge Grows PETA Wings

The Hills star Audrina Patridge and rescued pooch Speedy Gonzalez is featured in the latest “Angel for Animals” ad campaign for PETA.

During the photo shoot, the 23-year-old reality TV star shared, “I wanted to get involved with PETA because I’ve always been passionate about animals, and I think this is a great way to make people and all my fans aware of all the animals that need a home. And a lot of people go to pet stores and breeders to buy their animals, but you should adopt, so go to an animal shelter and rescue a dog.”

# 6

She is doing something good and something she obviously believes in. I don’t know how people in this world can be so vicious about somone who is doing good for animals? Who cares if it’s airbrushed, or what she is wearing, thats not the point…

Is Audrina a vegan/vegetarian? Don’t you have to be one before Peta lets you be in their ads? Just wondering…

love people…and care about human beings!!!
Its strange how some people will give you dirty looks on the street, or wont look at all, or have no concern about a homless person on the street…..

In a world that has a lot of neglect for humanity, really we should do more to care for each other..With ignorance and racism, and neglect for the needy in the world,
HUMAN beings and love of each other should be the most immportant cause.

Peace people…..

I thought PETA was about becoming vegetarian

I still recognize her but they went a little overboard on the photoshop.

I just love how people go out of their way for animals, but support abortion. Very interesting…

She is not a vegetarian.

Umm, those pets in the store need a home too, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. ******* Peta.

This is the “CHEAP WAY” for begging for attention.
DON’T DO IT AGAIN, please!!

I am so sick of PETA and these other organizations out here trying to tell others what they should and should not do when it comes to selecting pet . Not everyone is cut out for a shelter or rescue dog. Just like everybody don’t like used cars and other prefer new. Some folks like myself want a puppy and will be getting her/him from a private breeder for a specific breed. I want the joy of raising a puppy to adult age and watching them grow & learn. For some people chosing a pet is similar to having a baby, you have one because you love them and look forward to watching them grow up into hopefully well adjusted & happy adults.

To me all pets deserve a home and it does not matter where they come from, it just matter that someone has opened their home to a loving pet that need a home. I agree with the others here where is the outcry for humanity. How about standing up for adoption for children they need a home too.

they photoshopped her way 2 much, it doesnt even look like her
any on the whole peta issue
i believe that all animals should be treated with love and care, and should defs not be abused
but i just hate peta because they r so radical, i cant stand them, they r more worried about animals than humans imo
i cant eat meat? **** u peta
i cant drink milk? **** u peta
they just crossed the line imo

Im sure this is the one and only dog Peta will adopt this year. Now they can follow their mandate and KILL the rest. When will people educate themselves on what a horrible organization Peta is.

she seems ****** to me.

What a beutiful billboard, Audrina looks stunning and Speedy is so cute. It is a great message, there are so many animals at shelters and rescue agencies, I am glad to see that PETA is bringing attention to this issue.

you know what? to the comment about “HUMANS, HELP HUMANS” EFFFFFF that, animals are so much better than humans in everyway.

do they judge based on appearance? nope. do they screw people over countless times to get ahead in life? nope. so you can take care of the homeless and the humans. i’ll gladly help all the animals i can….because we encroached on their land. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND :D

The only reason she did this was because PETA prolly attacked her and threw red paint all over her leather jacket. She’s a FAKE!

Doesn’t Audrina wear a leather jacket in almost every episode ??

@Chloe:
The point is, Chloe, that animals shouldn’t be bred when there are animals already in need of homes, who have to be killed if they aren’t adopted, just because people want a peticular breed. Only after all the homeless animals in the whole world have found homes, should it be deemed acceptible to bread animals. When a pet is choosen from a breeder just because of it’s breed, as apposed to being saved from euthanasea in a pound, it’s called Breedism, like ‘racism’, because, just like human beings, animals should not be judged on their racial background.

@shoes4life:
I’m sure PETA and everyone supports adopting children too, but, children are more responcibility than pets so some people have pets instead of children or another child, and to experience a different type of love from the love children give.
Also, I want to make this very clear:
You can get a puppy or kitten from a pound!!! Just because your getting an animal from the pound doesn’t mean it has to be grown-up. You can experience all the things you said about a puppy like watching it grow and learn, and something even more special, you will have a connection with them you cannot get from a pet-shop or breeder puppy, you have saved it’s life. That puppy would owe you everything.

My final point, allow me to quote from your comment:
To me all pets deserve a home and it does not matter where they come from, it just matter that someone has opened their home to a loving pet that need a home.

“To me all pets deserve a home, and it does not matter where they come from, it just matter that someone opened their home to a loving pet that need a home” You obviously do care where the animal comes from, because you are so narrow-minded you only want a particular breed of animal, even if it will cost the life of an innocent animal from a pound who will die because you decided to adopt an animal from a breeder instead of save a life:
“Some folks like myself want a puppy and will be getting him/her from a private breeder for a specific breed.”
That states, if I’ve interpreted that correctly, that you only want a specific breed, and none else will do, meaning you DO care where the animal comes from, you care alot! In fact the breed is all that matters to you. I find this disturbing, and it makes me wonder:
Do you pick your friends by their race? I certainly hope not. You say people should focus more of their energy on the issues facing humanity, which I agree with, but in a way, people’s attitude towards different issues regarding animals rights and welfare seem to give an insight to what their attitude may be towards those issues faced by humans.
Breedism, noun.
When a pet is chosen from a breeder or a pet shop because of it’s breed, instead of from a pound or homeless shelter. Each time an act of breedism occurs, it, in turn, causes animal to die because an animal was adopted from a breeder instead, and there isn’t enough room in the shelters for every animal that isn’t adopted. Breedism is like, what racism is from one human to another, but from humans to animals. Like humans, animals should not be judged on their race/breed. Buying animals is killing animals.
