I do like celebrities more if they use their celebrity to help animals. I was never a Beatles fan but have great respect for the McCartneys for instance.
When I come across a snippet about a celebrity who does use their name to benefit animals I do tend to be more drawn to watching films / programs of theirs, [ subliminaly perhaps but it does happen ].
By the same token, those who I consider are cruel to animals directly or indirectly, ie if their hobby is hunting or they wear fur , no way will I spend a single penny to watch anything they have done or to buy their records or whatever because I will not have my money fund their cruelty.
Does that make sense ??
I know, I know, me not spending a tenner on a CD or a Vid / DVD will hardly stop them doing what they do, but if a lot of people were the same and made it known why they wont buy things or pay for cinema tickets on ethical grounds....if there is one thing those types cant stand, its not being popular / adored / fawned over - that would probably hit them harder to make them change their ways than hitting their overinflated bank balances.
Ok ok, I`ll take the rose tinted glasses off now then
