Lost Star Dominic Monaghan Appears in New PETA Wildlife Ad

He’s gone from Middle-Earth, playing Merry in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, to the middle of nowhere, playing Charlie Pace on ABC’s hit drama Lost, and now actor Dominic Monaghan is appearing in a new wildlife ad for PETA. In the ad, Dominic encourages everyone to “Share the World,” saying, “Your actions can and do have an impact on the natural environment around you. Please consider a humane solution to wildlife issues in your community or in your own back yard.”

Dominic got involved with PETA’s campaign because, as he declares in his exclusive interview with PETA, “One of the things I am most passionate about is the idea of wild animals’ natural environments just being slowly decimated by human beings.” Watch the interview below.

As more open land is lost to development every year, animals are forced to live in closer proximity to humans. Tragically, millions of wild animals are killed each year by poisoning, trapping, and countless other cruel methods. Learn what you can do to help wildlife in your area.

Behind the Scenes at Dominic Monaghan's PETA Photo Shoot

Dominic feeds an orphaned opossum at the California Wildlife Center, the site of PETA's photo shoot.

“One of the things I am most passionate about is the idea of wild animals’ natural environments just being slowly decimated by human beings.”

“I have learned some of the greatest lessons in life from watching animals.”

Dominic donned a PETA T-shirt and posed for pictures with California Wildlife Center and PETA staffers after the shoot.

“I got the opportunity to work with PETA, and I thought it was a good thing to lend my name to, because in my life, I have received so much from the natural world that it makes sense to kind of give something back.”

Enter to win the PETA T-shirt that Dominic signed at the shoot.
