Oprah Named Person of the Year

As Oprah Winfrey continues her world domination, she is also bringing animal welfare and vegetarian issues to the national stage. And her compassionate work does not go unnoticed. PETA has named the media mogul its “Person of the Year” for using her talk show as a platform to discuss puppy mills and factory farms. The famous talk-show queen also experimented with a 21-day vegan diet last April in honor of her cocker spaniel, Sophie, who died at the age of 13 in March. Let’s hope prez-to-be Barack Obama—Time’s Person of the Year—makes PETA’s cut next year.
