Travis Barker Leans Into Benefits of Shelter Pet Adoption and Meat-Free Lifestyle in PSA For Humane World For Animals: ‘Just Do Good’
The rock drummer, who's been a vegetarian most of his life, encourages his fans to try cruelty-free products and faux fur in the 30-second ad.
Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, 50, is using his platform to promote animal welfare and a plant-based lifestyle in a new PSA for Humane World For Animals. Barker has been a vegetarian since he was 13, citing his disgust for the taste of meat and the knowledge of where it comes from. He teamed up with the organization because of their mission to promote small steps for good, including adopting pets from local shelters and avoiding products made from fur.
Barker has also invested in a plant-based restaurant, wanting to support those fighting to stay afloat. The PSA features Barker donning a turtleneck and glasses as he debates whether being "good" is boring before embracing his vegan and anti-fur stance. Humane World for Animals' president/CEO Kitty Block emphasized that small choices made by individuals can lead to significant change for animals.
