Praise for which Blair project? Animal advocacy

Thank you for printing the Linda Blair article (“My Favorite Weekend,” Oct. 31). It is nice to know that some actors use their celebrity for causes other than self-promotion.

Ms. Blair is a wonderful advocate for the animals, speaking on their behalf, raising money for their care, and most of all by going vegan. She is promoting the best possible way to help animals, which is not to eat them.

Animals raised for food suffer tremendously their whole, short lives, only to be cruelly slaughtered in the end. I hope more people follow her lead and decide that animals need our care, not our dominance. We all share this earth, and what we need now is peace, not violence.
