“Happy birthday to the MAN, the MYTH, the LEGEND @mrbilldaniels Working with you was the greatest honor & one that Auggie will never forget,” he captioned the pic.
JustJaredJr. readers are the first people to get to see Auggie‘s public service announcement (aka PSA) for PETA Kids.
And we asked him all about it:
JJJ:How did you get involved with this PETA Kids campaign?
August: Well, the great people from PETA asked what would be my wish for animals for 2017, and I told them I wish that SeaWorld would release their orcas. I asked if there was anything I could do to help, and they came up with this idea for a video.
JJJ:That sounds like an important cause for you?
August: Yeah. It is important to me to use my voice for animals, because I love them and they can’t speak for themselves. They are sweet and innocent and don’t deserve to be tortured.
JJJ:Have you always been an animal lover?
August: Yes, ever since I was a baby, I always refused to eat meat, even though my whole family would eat it. It always felt wrong to me. I’ve finally convinced my mom to become a vegetarian, too. She hasn’t eaten meat for a year!
JJJ:What do you hope fans take away from this video?
August: I want people to know that animals do not deserve to be tortured just so people can be entertained. You would never keep a child locked in a small room, and whales belong in the ocean, not in a tiny tank. I hope people stop paying to watch animals being abused, and I hope they tell Sea World to #emptythetanks.

EXCLUSIVE: JJJ Premiere’s August Maturo’s PETA Kids Ad
The cast of Amazon’s Just Add Magic snaps a super cute selfie with Jessica Biel at their season premiere event in Los Angeles on Saturday night (January 14).
All the families attending participated in a special kid’s cooking class, a private screening of season two of the Amazon Kids show, plus cake decorating, face-painting, and even nibbled on delectable menu items and desserts.
FYI: Olivia wore a cute MSGM jumpsuit and Topshop shoes for the occasion.
Girl Meets World fans are NOT ready to say goodbye to their beloved show, and they want Netflix to know.
Disney Channel announced on January 4 that Girl Meets World would be cancelled after Season 3.
We’re still crying over the Girl Meets World cancellation — but this little bit of news warms our hearts.
It looks like stars Rowan Blanchard and August Maturo were actually together with their families when the news came.
August‘s mom, Maha, shared a cute pic of Auggie and Rowan together in their snow gear on Instagram today.
“This week we skied, went sledding, had snowball fights,danced & played cards & board games during a blizzard, we laughed, we cried (when we got the news about GMW) & made memories to last a lifetime.”
She adds, “Thank you Blanchard family for being the best of friends. We love you all so much.”
We love that Riley and Auggie (Rowan and August) were together!
