Justin Bieber teams up with PETA to promote animal adoption
January 21st, 2011 - 5:03 pm ICT by ANIWashington, Jan 21 (ANI): Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber is the latest celebrity to team up with PETA, an organization that defends animal rights, and has asked his fans to adopt a pet.
The pop sensation has created a public service announcement that encourages people to adopt an animal from a shelter rather than a breeder or pet store, reports Radaronline.com.
Bieber also appears on poster with tag lines like “Animals Can Make U Smile, Adopt From Your Local Shelter’.
The 16-year-old also revealed he adopted a dog from an animal shelter - a Papillon breed called Sam.
This is the second PETA campaign that the Grammy-nominated teen has released.
“I really encourage going out to an animal shelter or a place where you can get a dog that has been abandoned or doesn’t have a home,” said Bieber.
“My Dad and I used to go and hang out (at shelters) just go and visit the different animals and stuff,” he added. (ANI)
