Artemis Fowl's Ferdia Shaw Opens Up About Being Vegan

Ferdia Shaw is dishing on his choice to be a vegan.

The young Artemis Fowl star opened up in a new video for PETA where he compares his own animals to those in the meat industry.

“My dog has taught me that it’s really the simple things that can make her so happy. Like, all she needs is a family to love her,” he says in the video. “And my cat has taught me that she’s the boss.”

“They’re both animals, and they both just need love,” Ferdia added about caged animals. “[I]t’s disgusting how they’re treated on these farms. They’re living in their own filth, and some animals don’t even ever see the light of day. In 50 years’ time, I hope that we will look back on our treatment of animals with disgust.”
