Los Angeles – As Succession followers rejoice on the sequence’ return, they’ll additionally enjoyment of seeing award-winning actor Brian Cox—who performs the top of the dysfunctional Roy household—ship a message for PETA on this week’s challenge of The Hollywood Reporter. Departing from Logan Roy’s trademark iciness, Cox exhibits his softer facet (and his love for cats!) by asking animal guardians to undertake, spay, and neuter.
“The factor I really like about cats is … they’re very reliable,” Cox says in an accompanying video to the campaign. “In the event you’re trying to carry a companion animal into your home, simply keep in mind: Undertake—don’t store. And keep in mind to spay and neuter. That’s crucial.”
PETA notes that an estimated 70 million dogs and cats are homeless within the U.S. at any given time. Solely an estimated 10% of them are taken in by animal shelters. The answer is prevention by means of spaying and neutering—in addition to all the time adopting from animal shelters and by no means shopping for animals from breeders or pet shops, which exacerbate the homelessness disaster.
Cox joins an extended listing of celebrities—together with Alan Cumming, Simon Cowell, Michael Keaton, Jude Legislation, Joaquin Phoenix, James Cromwell, Anjelica Huston, and Gillian Anderson—who’ve teamed up with PETA entities to advertise kindness to animals.
PETA—whose motto reads, partly, that “animals aren’t ours to abuse in any method”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For extra data, please go to PETA.org or comply with the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
