The actor, who has just turned 95 years old, used social media to make an important appeal to fans on his birthday.
William Shatner turned 95 on March 22 and used the occasion to send an important message to the public through social media.
In an awareness video shared on March 17, the actor from “Star Treck” spoke on behalf of PETA, a major international NGO focused on animal rights.
In the clip posted on Instagram, Shatner highlights the importance of preserving and protecting endangered species and calls on fans around the world to take action against climate change.
“I just want to say that PETA is fantastic,” the actor says in the post. “Animals that took millions of years, in some cases billions of years, to evolve and become part of the environment are dying because of humans.”
“It’s really terrible. It’s tragic,” he added. “This beautiful planet, so wonderful and so interconnected, we are destroying it. And we have the chance to stop it. We have the science to stop it, and we need to change our habits now, before it’s too late.”
Over the decades, Shatner has been an active advocate for animal rights and environmental conservation, often using his fame to draw attention to causes related to marine life, pets, and horses, his great passion.
