Lea Michele campaigns for PETA

Star of the stage and most recently the hit television series Glee, Lea Michele, has teamed up with PETA to campaign against New York City's unethical practice of horse drawn carriages.

Michele, who was born in New York, recorded a video for the animal charity to expose the terrible conditions the horses are kept in, and explains:

"Imagine for a moment you're forced to do hard physical labour all day, seven days a week. Whether it's sweltering hot or freezing cold outside. At the end of the day, instead of relaxing in an easy chair or sleeping in a comfortable bed you're locked in a tiny closet all night long."
