Natalie Portman compares meat eating to Holocaust in PETA video

Animal rights activist and actress Natalie Portman compared the consumption of meat to the atrocities of the Holocaust in a new video for PETA.  In the two-minute video,   Portman highlights the life and legacy of author and Nobel Prize laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer by sharing some of his well-known quotes honoring his activism for animal rights.
