International pop music star Justin Bieber has hit the celebrity news headlines again as he is using his fame to champion pet adoption in a partnership with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
He is encouraging people to go to their local animal shelters, because buying an animal from a pet store or breeder robs a homeless animal of their chance at finding a good home. The less fortunate homeless animals never even make it to a shelter, and are left to fend for themselves on the streets. In this situation they are often subject to abuse by cruel people or die of starvation, disease and injuries. Bieber joins a growing list of celebrities like Lea Michele, Kellan Lutz, Yasmien Kurdi, Pink, Maggie Q., and Borgy Manotoc who have teamed up with PETA in their effort to help animals.
