Some of the best things about being a vegetarian include, of course, contributing towards the welfare of animals. Being a vegetarian can also make you a healthier person, and it helps the environment. All of these things make vegetarianism worthwhile. It’s really a win-win situation. Laura Mennell Read Quote
When I stopped eating meat, I fell in love with East Indian food – there’s so much selection, and they use the most beautiful spices. Laura Mennell Read Quote
Learning about factory farms and their horrendous treatment of animals is what made me become vegetarian in the first place. I also support the education of the public on adopting pets from animal shelters or saving homeless animals off the street in lieu of buying them from pet shops. Laura Mennell Read Quote
The acting bug just seemed to stick with me. I loved going to theatre school in college and continued to train in film classes and had been auditioning for T.V. and movie roles since I was in my late teens. My career has been slow and steady, and I kind of like it that way. Laura Mennell Read Quote
Millions of animals are euthanized every year because shelters can’t find homes for them. Buying animals from pet stores also tends to support puppy and cat mills, many of which have deplorable conditions for animals, which shouldn’t be tolerated. Laura Mennell Read Quote
The harming of animals for any reason is shameful, but torturing them for mere vanity is senseless. Slaughtering animals for their fur or harming them for cosmetic purposes is disgusting and not worth the perfect shade of lipstick. Laura Mennell Read Quote
I was always interested in the arts as a child – drawing, painting, and piano – but acting became a favourite. I was a major theatre geek in high school – if I wasn’t in the drama room at lunch rehearsing, I’d be in the art room finishing up some type of project. Laura Mennell Read Quote
I love the science-fiction genre because there’s always so many endless possibilities! It’s a limitless genre and can be fun playing around with otherworldly ideas. Laura Mennell Read Quote
I love going to theatres and seeing honest little indie films I know nothing about… being surprised by a beautiful film I had no expectations about but just got lost in. I’d like to do more well-written indies. I don’t know exactly what my dream role will be yet, but it’s somewhere within that realm. Laura Mennell Read Quote
