GLEE star and Broadway veteran Lea Michele has teamed up with PETA to stand up against horse-drawn carriage cruelty.  Click below to watch the video!

Michele's Broadway credits include: SPRING AWAKENING, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, RAGTIME, and LES MISERABLES.

As described by PETA, "During their workday, these horses are forced into dangerous traffic, where they develop respiratory ailments from inhaling exhaust fumes and debilitating leg problems from pounding the hard pavement. They constantly weave between cars and are often spooked by loud noises on the streets. As a result, accidents sometimes occur in which many horses and people are seriously injured or even killed. When not working, these horses are confined to cramped stalls in which they are unable to turn around, stretch their legs, or even lie down comfortably. Don't get taken for a ride. Join Lea and countless others in boycotting horse-drawn carriages!"
