Courtney Stodden Hopes Fashion Industry ‘Redesigns & Rethinks’ To Save Animals
Courtney Stodden has high hopes for the future of animals and the future of fashion.
Stodden attended the Mercy For Animals Gala on September 16th. The organization was celebrating its 23rd anniversary, and The Blast spoke to her and other celebrities on the red carpet.
She’s been a vegetarian for ten years and completely vegan for the past two years. This decision was made after finding out how her food was being made and processed.
Courtney Stodden Is Advocating For The Protection Of Animals
“I think the main reason people don’t understand what they’re eating is because they’re not seeing the process of what the animal goes through,” she said. “Mercy For Animals is giving so many people an inside look at what is reality and that really is important.”
Stodden noted that it’s time we “move forward as a society” for our planet and everything.
“Animals are so worth saving a meal and the fight,” Stodden added.
When asked about her hopes for the future food system and the future of animals on this planet, she was quick to call out the fashion industry.
Courtney Says The Fashion Industry Needs To Change
“My hope is that meat is discontinued. The fashion industry redesigns, rethinks, stop using leather, animals, sheep skin, everything,” she told The Blast. “Globally we need to unite and we need to really save the planet and save animals and I think in doing that everybody would have empathy.”
Stodden concluded, “If everybody had empathy on this planet, I think it would be a much better place.”
Musical artist Skylar Stecker also attended the gala and explained her hopes for the future food system is “open-mindedness.”

Skylar Feels People Should Be More Open-Minded About Veganism
“Get rid of all of your preconceives or like selfish little… like just try it. You know, just try it and do your research,” Stecker explained.
She’s been vegetarian/vegan for the past 12 years.
Her love and empathy for animals along with her music career began at an early age.
When she was eight or nine, Stecker wrote a song for animals.

“I actually wrote a song for animals when I was like eight or nine and it was about chickens and how chickens are treated unfairly,” the 20-year-old singer admitted.
While she didn’t remember it off the top of her head, Stecker said she wants to go back through the archives and pull it up, post it and re-release the song.
Mercy For Animals President, Leah Garcés, has been fighting for animals for over two decades.

“We have so much more work to do, but tonight is about celebrating our success and the progress we have made and celebrating all the people that made it happen,” she told us. “The thing that gives me hope, is that each year that I do this, more and more people are caring about farmed animals. People are really changing how they show up in terms of how they eat or how they talk about this issue. There are more plant-based options available and it’s very exciting to see the world is moving in the direction where one day all animals will be respected, protected and free.”
As for her thoughts on a future world where animal consumption and slaughter will be extinct, Garcés told us, “I have no doubt there will one day be a slaughter free world. In fact, I just came back from Singapore and I tried slaughter-free meat, which was cultivated in a lab, and it was MIND BLOWING.”
Mercy For Animals is hard at work conducting undercover investigations, campaigning to protect animals and getting more plant-based options on the shelves.
