Jayde Nicole is a vegan, an environmentalist and an animal activist.
Jayde seeks to educate people on the seriousness of protecting our environment, our oceans and the animals we share this planet with. She participates in and organizes beach & ocean cleanups, volunteers at the marine mammal care center, and educates people on how to reduce their impact on our environment through social media.
Jayde created her dog rescue, EDL Foundation in 2013 but her love of all animals has been with her for her entire life. At the age of five she informed her mother in a way only a five-year-old can do, that she would no longer be eating meat, and so began her path to help as many animals as she could. Her move from small-town Port Perry, Ontario to Los Angeles, California, which is overwhelmed with dog shelters, helped to focus her efforts towards helping dogs. EDL seeks to educate people on pet population control, animal adoption, and proper care. They rescue dogs abandoned and neglected at kill shelters as well as homeless and displaced pets. EDL rehabilitates these dogs and then helps find them their forever homes.

Tina grew up on a small farm in the country with her parents and siblings. She’s always had a love for animals having raised chickens, ducks, guinea pigs and even a kangaroo, which she saved after its mother was hit by a car. “I moved to Los Angeles 5 years ago and since then has become increasingly aware of what happens to animals for human consumption. And it absolutely breaks my heart.”
“I first went pescatarian 7 years ago and during that time I had a few issues with my health which lead me to eliminate dairy from my diet and then made the jump to Veganism one morning after making the connection about a year ago and haven’t looked back. Since then I have done my best to educate myself and others on how good a plant-based diet can be for their health, their dogs and the planet. I hope to continue using my voice to create awareness and help make the world a better place for all animals.”
