HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Tiffani Thiessen has joined the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) to help spread the word about the organization's Eat Humane campaign.
The White Collar star taped a 30-second public service announcement (PSA) for WSPA to educate the public about reading labels on meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products to see which ones signify that animals were raised humanely. The PSA will start running this month around the country; it can be seen starting today at www.EatHumane.org or www.wspa-usa.org.
"I am pleased to be a part of the Eat Humane campaign for the WSPA," said Thiessen, 36, in a statement. "The organization's key philosophy about food is something I believe in personally. Eating doesn't have to be black and white – eat meat or be a vegetarian. The more important thing is that you should make educated choices when buying your food, which can be confusing and misleading with the food labeling system. It is hard to know what you are really purchasing and that is why I filmed this PSA – I wanted to help WSPA inform people about what the labels really mean."
"If you choose foods labeled 'American Humane Certified,' 'Animal Welfare Approved' or 'Certified Humane,' you know that the food you are eating did not involve animal abuse or come from factory farms known to be bad for the environment," she continued. "By buying meat and dairy products with those labels, people can make a difference for animals and the planet."
Others stars who have recently supported WSPA campaigns include Leona Lewis, Brooke Shields, Kristin Davis, Christina Applegate, Joanna Krupa and Kellan Lutz.
Thiessen and her husband, artist and actor Brady Smith, are expecting their first baby in May.
