Amazing Animal Advocates!😍
Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed Al Saud
We are inspired by HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud for his dedication to fostering a more sustainable and compassionate world. A prince in every sense of the word, our Amazing Advocate gives his mom and dad credit for raising him right in just about every interview we’ve seen! Who doesn’t love that? And that’s just the start! Let’s dig deep into the awesome energy Prince Khaled puts out into the world, and all the good that’s come of it.
Prince Khaled is an outspoken advocate for human health, the humane treatment of animals, and our environment. He’s imbued with a deep sense of compassion, and is equally effective as a businessman.
Born in Stanford, CA, Prince Khaled was raised in Riyadh, the capital city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He could have chosen many paths, making his compassionate and progressive lifestyle even more laudable. He’s in a position to influence gamechangers on a global scale, and luckily for us, he knows how to make that happen! He’s the Founding Chairman of KBW Ventures, a firm that specializes in ethical (and successful!) investments. KBW’s investment portfolio includes a variety of meat and dairy alternatives as well as new food technologies that offer a real chance to end the concept of animals in our food chain. KBW’s investments speak to Prince Khaled’s keen eye for long-term sensibilities and that’s something else we are all for: his focus on big-picture victories like eliminating animal suffering, improving human health, and addressing the climate crisis. We LOVE a strategic vegan, and HRH is leading the way, showing others how it gets DONE!

In his own country, Prince Khaled is well-known for the strides he has made in helping make Saudi Arabia a pioneering force in green architecture and healthy living. He serves as the President of the Saudi Sports for All Federation under the Ministry of Sports, with the mandate of empowering Saudi society to embrace a healthy lifestyle. He is also a Board Member of the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee, helping to encourage the growth and success of the country’s elite athletes.
Our very favorite thing about HRH: Prince Khaled speaks out for all animals—farmed, hunted, or otherwise abused. He was a crucial member of the team that ended the use of donkeys to carry tourists at Petra in Jordan, and has acted as a matching donor to organizations fighting to end poaching. An ethical vegan, Prince Khaled stands as a convincing example of the many benefits of choosing a life of kindness.
Anyone who follows Prince Khaled on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter will find his social media accounts surprisingly down-to-Earth and fun for a man with such serious interests. It’s this naturally affable quality, as much as his business acumen, that makes him such a successful advocate for animals. Prince Khaled, on behalf of all the human and non-human animals for whom you’re creating a better future, we can’t THANK YOU—and your parents—enough! We’re SO glad you’re on our team!
Genesis Butler
We love Genesis. At age three, she asked her mom where meat came from, and immediately stopped eating it. From there, she turned her whole family vegan. And now? She is a huge force in turning ALL THE PEOPLE vegan.

Dr. Jane Goodall was only 26 years old when she left England for what would become a life defining journey to Gombe Stream in Tanzania, where she set out to study wild chimpanzees in a way no one had done before. Instead of observing from a distance, she lived near them, patiently earning their trust and learning their world from the inside.
As a child, Genesis knew something was wrong. She became vegan for ethical reasons, for the love of animals, and to reduce their suffering. But as she got older, she learned how using animals as food impacts the environment, and people, too. By the time she was 10, Genesis was already delivering truths about the environmental devastation caused by the animal agriculture machine via her own TEDx Talk.
She also addresses how unjust the industry is: factory farms house thousands of animals in unsanitary conditions. They spray the overflow of animal waste onto nearby fields, allowing contaminants to enter the air as an easily inhaled mist. People nearby these places suffer from lung and eye ailments, rashes, and have reported constant nausea and headaches—they can’t even sit outside. Is it a coincidence that these factory farms spring up in black, LatinX, and lower socio-economic towns and neighborhoods? Workers are paid very little to labor long hours in unsafe conditions, with very few people daring to speak up against big ag.
Genesis isn’t afraid. Her outspoken, compassionate approach to activism has earned her so many accolades: She has served as PETA’s Young Animal Activist of the Year in 2019. She won Animal Hero Kid’s Sir Paul McCartney’s Young Veg Advocate award, and so many more. She’s also been featured in several films, including The Invisible Vegan, a documentary about the lives of vegan people of color.
But she isn’t satisfied with walking the walk and talking the talk. She’s also raising the funds! She started an organization called Genesis for Animals, that raises funds for animal rescues and sanctuaries. During the COVID pandemic, she took he advocacy to the next level, and began Youth Climate Save, which is an offshoot of the Climate Save Movement. It’s the first youth-led group that focuses on the connection between animal agriculture and the climate change.
We’re not the only ones who think Genesis is a superhero. She’s been immortalized as the star of her own Marvel comic! But our favorite thing about Genesis isn’t her awards, her incredible stage presence, or her many honors. It’s HER. Her heart, her strength, her compassion and all that she represents. Genesis Butler is living proof that it’s never too early, and you’re never too young, to take action and change the world. Thanks, Genesis, for ALL that you do!
Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE
An Enduring Legacy for Animals and the Earth
What she discovered reshaped how humanity understands other animals and, in turn, ourselves. Her observations confirmed that chimpanzees make and use tools and revealed complex social relationships, deep bonds, and rich emotional lives. Her work challenged the long held belief that humans were uniquely set apart from other species and helped expand the global conversation about animal intelligence, welfare, and moral consideration far beyond chimpanzees alone.
As her influence grew, Dr. Goodall’s compassion widened, too. She became one of the leading voices for a more complete kind of conservation, one that recognizes you cannot protect wildlife without also supporting the people who live alongside it. Through the Jane Goodall Institute and its community centered programs, she championed solutions that addressed environmental protection together with human wellbeing.
She also believed deeply in the power of young people to change the world. Roots and Shoots, her global youth program, continues to inspire children and teens to take meaningful action for animals, people, and the planet while holding onto something she returned to again and again, hope.
Dr. Goodall was appointed a United Nations Messenger of Peace in 2002 and was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2004. Her honors were many, but her greatest legacy is the one still alive in the movement she helped build and the millions of people she inspired to treat animals and the Earth with reverence and responsibility.
Dr. Jane Goodall passed away on October 1, 2025, but her legacy continues through her books, her institute, and the next generation of advocates carrying her work forward.
If you’d like to explore one of the most practical expressions of her message, the Jane Goodall Institute’s cookbook, #EATMEATLESS: Good for Animals, the Earth & All, offers plant based recipes and simple ways to turn daily choices into real impact.
