Kellan Lutz, wolf advocate, defends bringing live wolves on ‘BD 2’ red carpet

Kellan Lutz: Wolf Advocate!

I didn’t see any photos of this last week, but it seems as if someone (??) invited actual WOLVES to the LA premiere of Breaking Dawn Part II. Maybe they were union wolves, perhaps even the same ones used in the films… except I’m pretty sure all of the wolf stuff in the Twilight films are totally CGI in their entirety. So why invite live wolves to an LA premiere? Dunno. But PETA apparently had a problem with it, and Kellan Lutz is here to defend whomever’s decision it was to invite some wolves:

The Twilight saga’s “Breaking Dawn: Part 2” ended its round of domestic premieres Thursday with a Cinema Society screening, with no live animals present. The earlier LA premiere had three live wolves in attendance, angering PETA.

“I would love to know where the wolves came from,” cast member Kellan Lutz told us. “It’s not like we took them out of the wild. Not to step on PETA’s shoes or anything, but they are in a loving environment, they’re treated very well, and I don’t think we can point fingers at anyone for having a collar on too tight . . . I hope I’m not making enemies over there, because I am very much for PETA.”

He added, “I think the wolves were so sweet. It was a good addition.”

The New York Hollywood Reporter party at new Bowery club Finale instead had a stuffed pair for guests to pose with. Also in attendance were Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser and Ashley Greene, who told us that when the movie wrapped, the cast “literally just hung out with each other in our hotel room in the early morning and talked and reminisced.”

Is it weird that I’m kind of on PETA’s side? It would be one thing if the wolves were union and they had actually appeared in the film(s), but I think the studio was just like, “Man, you know what would be cool? Let’s have some actual wolves on the red carpet!” And it IS stupid. But Kellan Lutz wants you to know that the Lutzy wolves are fine. Kellan Lutz is a protector of animals and humanity. Kellan Lutz is a lover and a fighter and a wolf advocate. KELLAN LUTZ!

And here is my favorite part of the Berlin premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 2: some genius put a big, fake-looking wolf in the middle of the red carpet and everyone had to pose with it. It was actually pretty funny.

    I didn’t take the time to read the whole article and just scrolled through the pics…when I got to the fake wolf I literally laughed out loud and thought you ladies had lost your minds. 😉

    hahahaha I love that Kristen Stewart will always be associated with these movies!

    LOL why is it that Kellan Lutz has to be the one to comment on the whole wolf thing? He’s such a weirdo and I am on PETA’s side actually, there is no need for real wolves at an event like that, isn’t that sort of dangerous even?

    And lol, there’s a photo of Rob posing with that wolf, hilarious

    If Kellan Lutz says it’s ok then it’s ok. As you can see I’ve been Kellan Lutzed for a long time.

    I’m also a wolf advocate; They are amazing animals and get the crappy end of the stick.

      Totally agree!!

      I’m a wolf advocate as well. We Adopted two wolf dogs (grey wolf and Alaskan malamute) after they were surrendered by people that thought it would be cool to buy them and keep them for pets. We kept them on a few acres of property behind our business (which backed up to national forest) and they enjoyed living out doors but they were shy and very much wild. I wish people better understood that a domesticated wild animal is still not domestic. Their behaviors are merely being suppressed (which may not be abusive, but is cruel and unfair in an entirely different way).

    Sure they are! Better than Bambi any given day. Just make sure they are well fed.

  7. oh dear says:

    sometimes i wish animals could speak and tell people like that what they really think of being at a stupid event like this. that boy needs a dose of empathy.

    Has anyone seen that GIF of Kristin Stewart petting the wolf, then below it, it shows her just petting a guy in a GCI suit hahahaha

  9. the original bellaluna says:

    Michael K’s comment on the fake wolf was priceless!

  10. KellyinSeattle says:

    they already have ravenous wolves on the red carpet, called “stars”…

  11. I Choose Me says:

    Lord help me but the more Kellen Lutz posts there are the more I like the guy. He’s soooo weird but I kinda dig that about him now. Moar Kellan Lutz! 😀

  12. lucy2 says:

    I hate PETA’s methods. But there is no reason for the wolves to be there. Picture all the idiotic screaming fans, the camera flashes, the crowds – very stressful for any animal.

    What the eff is going on with his face? Is that just a whole lotta makeup or what? He’s like the male equivalent of Heidi Montag. His face looks plastic.
