Celebrities and their use of social networks in animal protection

• 

Obviously, EPAC is not primarily concerned with elephant conservation. Not that we’re not interested, far from it. But rather that our focus is on Canadian endangered species. And until there is evidence to the contrary, elephants do not roam freely on the streets of Toronto or Vancouver.

The reason we decided to feature Ian Somerhalder in our photo illustration is because of his commitment to animal rights and animal protection.

This will be the subject of today’s article.Celebrities and their commitment to animal welfare. Thanks to their actions, Mr. Everybody is more likely to get involved in this issue. Because after all, the best way to convince people is to talk to them about people they identify with.

Ian Somerhalder :

So here, we’ll start with Ian Somerhalder. With 5 million followers on Twitter and 3 million on Instagram, he has a strong audience base to which he can easily convey his actions and commitments. One example is his commitment to banning the sale of ivory in Washington. Ian Somerhalder is a social media force to be reckoned with. He even created his own foundation, focusing on animal welfare, the environment and clean energy solutions, in 2010 in response to the Gulf oil spill disaster, and his belief in the interconnectedness of all living things and their environment.

So if even your favorite actor from Lost signs up, won’t you sign up?

Ellen DeGeneres

Our second celebrity here will be celebrity presenter Ellen DeGeneres.

A strong animal welfare advocate, Ellen DeGeneres has been helping animals in need and promoting the #adoptdontshop campaign for many years. Ellen has donated thousands and thousands of meals to shelter animals, while volunteering her time to fight against animal testing.
His wife Portia de Rossi created the Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund in his name. Ellen said of animals: “I love animals and I want to protect them, especially when they are in danger. We need these incredible creatures and they need our love and compassion to help us save them”.

Through their fame and audience, these celebrities inspire people to make a daily commitment to the preservation of animal life. All the more so as, at a time when influencers increasingly govern the effects of fashions, these personalities have a major role to play in changing people’s mentality and raising awareness of the preservation of animal wildlife.

So, what are you waiting for to commit?
