Animal rights advocate and celebrated actress Alicia Silverstone has been sharing her mission with her son, Bear, to inculcate compassion in every living being. Recently, Silverstone revealed in an exclusive interview exactly what this philosophy of parenting entails and why she makes sure to teach compassion towards animals.
The “Clueless” star, who has been a strong advocate for animal welfare for many years now, said that upbringing has the tendency to mold her current parenting. “My parents always encouraged me to love and respect animals,” Silverstone said. “It’s a value I want to pass on to Bear. It’s essential for him to understand that every creature has a purpose and deserves kindness.”
Silverstone is involved in the promotion and practice of animal rights in everyday life. She is a vegan, promotes cruelty-free products, and regularly posts tips on how to live a more compassionate lifestyle on social media. According to her, teaching her son how important it is to protect animals is far from just teaching; it helps him connect with nature. I would want Bear to view animals not just as pets but as friends and family members. Every time he spends with them is an opportunity for learning and love,” she said.
One of the most significant ways Silverstone passes this message on is through hands-on experience. Volunteering at local animal shelters or caring for their family pets, she ensures Bear is actively involved in the process. “We discuss the stories of the animals we encounter, their struggles, and how we might help them. It’s about making them aware and empathetic from an early age,” she added.
In terms of bigger issues, Silverstone is also concerned with habitat destruction and climate change. She advocates that her fans and supporters involve themselves in wildlife protection and sustainable lifestyles. “Awareness is the key. The better people comprehend the cause of animals, the better they would react,” she added.
In a world where environmental concerns are increasingly pushing to center stage, Alicia Silverstone’s parenting style is a fresh reminder of the power of compassion. As she continues to advocate for animal rights, she hopes that she may inspire others to join her in creating a kinder world.
