They describe him as a very sleepy cat , who interacts happily with the rest of the pets in the house, despite his particular character.
Robert confessed that he initially refused to adopt rescued animals because he was very sad about the situation they faced, but he couldn’t resist taking them in forever.
Now he says he couldn’t live without them.
In addition to cats and dogs, there are also alpacas in the Downey house, who have taken them in after hard pasts and live as pampered pets.
The actor’s mansion has several large green areas where animals enjoy as if they were in their natural habitat.
The house has given much to talk about for being built with a theme of sustainable architecture, where goats, chickens, pigs and even cows cohabit.
Robert Downey announced that he adopted a plant-based diet after becoming aware of the unfair treatment of animals.
During the premiere of the movie Dolittle, he expressed his admiration for his wife’s talent as a producer and commented:
“She’s the most amazing creative producer in movie history, and I make faces for money and chicken, but no, I do n’t eat chicken anymore . I am adopting a plant-based diet,” she said.
The actor created the foundation called The Footprint Coalition, with the aim of merging robotics and nanotechnology to clean the planet.
Your decision to adopt a vegan diet will contribute to this end because the livestock industry is one of the largest generators of plastic waste in the oceans and promotes climate change.
Actress Ruby Rose , who represented Batwoman in DC’s Arrowverse, is also in favor of defending the planet and the animals.
He jumped on the trend of adopting a vegan lifestyle when he learned about the unfair treatment suffered by the animals we consume.
“I frequently ate something called ‘shark fin soup’ and I didn’t know. I asked my mom if that was made from a real shark fin and she said, ‘Oh no, honey, of course not.’ After discovering that it was, I became very sad, I cried for three weeks.
It seemed even worse to me that they only cut off the fins of the sharks and that they are there without being able to move. That really scared me, I used to have nightmares that they were in the ocean with no fins and I couldn’t eat any fish anymore.”
The followers of Robert Downey and all the real-life heroes who join the fight for the defense of animals and our planet applaud his initiatives that inspire others to work for the same cause.
