What is your favorite animal?

I’ve been amazed by all the incredible videos of animals showing off their playful sides—cows chasing balls, goats leaping, even little pigs playing with kids. It’s such a reminder of their joy and individuality, far beyond how we often view them.

I’ve always been drawn to causes that champion compassion for animals, which is one of the reasons I’m proud to be part of Avon—not just because I grew up with it, but because of their unwavering commitment to animal welfare. Avon has long been committed to animal welfare, pledging in 1989 to cease animal testing of its products. The company has since worked to develop and implement alternative testing methods, such as in vitro testing, computational modeling, and human volunteer studies, to ensure product safety and efficacy without animal involvement.

I personally dream of a world where animals are no longer used for food, and I hope that governments will one day subscribe to protect them further, ensuring they live holistic, joyful lives. Reflecting on this brings up deep emotion, but it’s a reminder of why I hold all animals dear. If God’s Kingdom were to come today, I’d be the first to run and set every animal in the zoo free!
