You may know Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister from “Game of Thrones,” where he plays a forward thinking advisor to the brutal King Joffrey. In real life, Peter Dinklage is taking on a similar role in advising people to make the “kind” choice and adopt a vegan lifestyle. Dinklage made the choice to become a vegetarian at the age of 16 and has since transitioned to a 100 percent plant-based, vegan lifestyle. In an effort to share his passion for the humane treatment of animals and the natural world, Dinklage has teamed up with PETA to make “Face Your Food,” an exposé on the cruel treatment of farm animals. Providing a horrific visual to the horrendous treatment of animals on factory farms, Dinklage states, “You may want to turn away, but this is what you pay for everytime you buy meat, eggs, and dairy products.” While gore and violence may not be something that phases many “Game of Thrones” fans, “Face Your Food” may be a bit hard to stomach. Crossing over from the fantastical world of Kings Landing to our reality, the cruelty shown to these animals is only too real. But there is hope delivered in this dismal message, Dinklage explains that “tens of millions” of Americans have already chosen to remove animal products from their diets and the more people who join them and Dinklage, the greater likelihood that the factory farming industry will come to an end. If you haven’t already made the switch to a cruelty-free lifestyle, sign the pledge to join Dinklage and start making a positive change. This might not be a battle where the winner receives an iron throne, but the freedom of billions of animals seem like a pretty awesome reward. Image Source: Express
