The
world grieves for Princess Diana. Many people will remember her not only as
a devoted advocate for AIDS patients, suffering children and war victims,
but also as a representative of international animal rights organizations.
"Her low key efforts to benefit animals reach far beyond the initiative
of her former father-in-law, Prince Philip," (who in modern times was
the first member of the British Royal House to take a stand against the killing
of leopards for fur), according to Silke Berentahl of the animal rights group
PeTA.
Designers fashioning for
Princess Diana knew that she would have nothing to do with fur, even as trim
for a garment. Diana was a vegetarian and was responsible for memorable banquets
such as the extensive 17 course vegetarian feast prepared during her first
trip to the United States in honor of the British Embassy's visit. Princess
Diana also raised the Royal Family's ire by refusing to participate in hunting.
It went against her deepest convictions to harm or kill animals.
The offices of PeTA (People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) in England, Germany, Holland and the
United States will plant English rosebushes as a tribute to Diana. Not only
did she radiate physical beauty, Diana's awareness of the respectful treatment
of all creatures made her true, inner beauty apparent, according to animal
lovers throughout the world.
