Gillian Belle Chipley

Meet 7-year-old Gillian Belle Chipley of San Antonio, Texas. Gillian is a vegetarian because she thinks that "it's really mean" that animals are killed for food. She thinks that all animals are beautiful and has had a special place in her heart for sea animals ever since she saw The Little Mermaid.

This little lady loves art, cooking, school, nature, and animals. She tells everyone about tasty vegetarian options and encourages people to give up meat! Gillian knows how easy it is to substitute fake meat in all kinds of recipes—like using fake beef crumbles in tacos. She is a big fan of fake meat in general and can't get enough Gardenburger® BBQ Riblets and LightLife® Smart Dogs. One of her favorite things to cook is pierogies. She likes to cut the shells out (all by herself) and stuff them.

Gillian and her family are getting ready to adopt a dog from an animal shelter! They know that adoption is the best option when you are ready to add an animal companion to your family. Her new canine friend will be very happy that Gillian loves all animals and is always up for a nature hike!

Indie Zimmermann

Indie Zimmermann of Havertown, Pa., has been a vegetarian for all of his 9 years and has decided to go vegan on his 10th birthday! He values the lives of all animals, even bugs, and will go out of his way to make sure that they are not harmed.

Indie is in fourth grade and loves to teach everyone about loving animals and being vegetarian. He has a weakness for fake meats (especially fake chicken nuggets) and encourages everyone to eat them! His favorite food is veggie lasagna with zuchinni and fake ground beef. He also likes to cook and is learning to veganize all types of recipes.

Indie is very caring toward people and animals, and that's why he refuses to wear leather. When asked why he doesn't wear animal skin, he says, "They kill animals for strange purposes and purposes that aren't right." He doesn't understand why anyone would want to wear an animal!

Indie's family also includes two cats (Moocher and George) and two dogs (Frenchie and Leo), who were all rescued. Frenchie was found in a cage on the highway and then taken to the SPCA, where Indie and his family adopted him. All of Indie's animal companions are very lucky!
