Lutz Backs Peta Adoption Campaign

TWILIGHT star KELLAN LUTZ has called on fans of the franchise to support People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)’s new adoption campaign.

The actor adopted his two dogs, Kola and Kevin, from a shelter - and he’s urging followers of the vampire films to consider heading to their local rescue centre to help animals in need.

He says, “There are surprisingly many animals in these shelters. It’s sad, and knowing that they get euthanized. For the fans of Twilight out there who have so much love, give that love to a pet if you don’t have one.”

And Lutz, who is PETA’s poster boy for the campaign, admits the cause is close to his heart.

He adds, “I wanted to get involved with PETA’s animal adoption campaign because there are countless numbers of animals out there and it’s our job to take them under our wing and take care of them and give them a place to live.”
