I came across an interesting article on the Peta Web site tonight that really kind of blew my mind. There are some celebrities in the world that you feel do not have a caring bone in their body. Simon Cowell, a judge from the show "American Idol", is one of those celebrities that you could classify under that category.
What I have come to find out is that he really does have a few caring bones in his body. He has quite the soft spot for shelter dogs. In his interview with "The Peta Files", Cowell said this:
"I mean, if I was buying a dog, I wouldn't buy it from a pet shop, I'd go to a rescue shelter. Or I'd go to a friend who couldn't take care. … It's not where the dog came from, it's the dog. … I get really annoyed when people start telling me about the make and the model of their dog like [for] a car. … A dog is a dog, no matter what background they've got. … Often, the mutts, the strays have got more personality than a highly bred pedigree."
Within the interview, he also includes how he will help support the cause to help shelter dogs in any way (including financially). It is such a fantastic sight when celebrities offer to help a cause, not for the exposure, but for the goodness that their help can bring.
Let me know what you all think. Are there other celebrities out there that are trying to help the cause?
