Laura Guttridge Is a Kind Hearted Person

Laura Guttridge graduated from The University of Central Florida with a philosophy degree. UCF and is the second largest university in the United States. It was established in 1963 and has awarded more than 200,000 degrees to alumni from across the globe.

Laura is popular as an animal activist, former swimsuit model, and an author. She is a vegetarian and she promotes a vegetarian lifestyle as well. By becoming a vegetarian, a person not only eats and lives healthy, but it also saves animals from cruelty. She was also the co/founder of Marion County Voices for Animals and served as its president.

This small animal’s right group was formed to protect animals in central Florida. MCVA was successful in helping convince The Marion County Animal Shelter to stop using the cruel decompression chamber to kill unwanted animals, and switch to the more humane lethal injection. In 2002 Laura was a top signature gatherer for a ballot initiative that banned the cruel confinement of pigs on factory farms in Florida.

She has been staging a protest every year for over a decade now at the Fellsmere Frog Leg Festival, (an event held in Fellsmere) to protest against the cruelty to frogs. This festival kills over 100,000 frogs each year. These frogs used to be gigged locally from the wild, now they are shipped in from Asia.
