It can be said that 2012 was the year of the animal. Not only did we watch many-a-celebrity flaunt their adorable furry friends through blogs and Twitter (we’re talking to you Miley Cyrus, Amanda Seyfried and the Obamas), but stars and activists alike made 2012 a banner year for animal stories, animal rescues and even animal activism.
So without further ado, we tip our hat to these, the top 25 pet people of 2012, those who made the biggest splash in the world of animals this year.
Here’s to all you’ve done, and all you continue to do, for animals.
It’s no secret that Leo loves animals, and has done his part to help them throughout the years. This year DiCaprio kept up his involvement by taking his activism to the sea when he urged a high-level Antarctic conservation meeting in Australia that would approve a sweeping Southern Ocean Marine sanctuary to protect thousands of polar species. Sources say that most countries backed the sanctuary, which would be located off East Antarctica and would be the world’s largest ocean sanctuary if it were to be built. The region is home to penguins, seals and whales, many of which would be more than happy to call the sanctuary their home.
