Livekindly reports that vegan celebrity, Kat Von D, is to support the international resistance, Animal Liberation Front, on stage in New York. The make-up artist and musician will be performing in the city alongside Iamx on April 21, 22, and 23.
"Kat Von D took to Instagram today, urging her 6.5 million followers to pay attention to the vaquita, a porpoise species that is critically endangered, largely due to illegal fishing practices in the Gulf of California.
“I can’t believe there are only approximately 12 of these beautiful sea creatures left alive! 😢 ,” Kat Von D wrote. “Like many other sea animals who unintentionally get caught in fishing nets, the Vaquita has fallen victim and is now on the verge of going extinct because of fishing. It crushes my heart and feels completely helpless at this point – and all I can do is strongly urge my friends and followers to please consider leaving fish off your plate. It’s the most effective form of activism one could do. #savethevaquita#vaquita #vegan”
The vaquita is a rare type of porpoise native to the northern part of the Gulf of California. Its population has declined by more than half over the past five years.
