Phoebe Buffay

Phoebe Buffay was a character played by Lisa Kudrow in the popular television sitcom Friends (September 22, 1994 - May 6, 2004).

Animal rights and the environment

Phoebe is also somewhat of a champion of animal rights and the environment. She is a vegetarian, and eats "nothing with a face". One time, however, she was so depressed after her husband (who was gay) left her that she ate a cheeseburger, which Monica saw and told the group about later. She also succumbed to her cravings for meat during her pregnancy, though only after Joey agreed that he would fast from meat so that no extra animals would need to be killed.

She defends her position against eating turkeys at Thanksgiving by claiming they are "beautiful, intelligent animals". She is against the wearing of fur coats (although she inherited one, and later on even began to like wearing it). Once, she became very upset upon witnessing trees being cut down and sold as Christmas trees. She also cries when flowers die (and even arranges a funeral for them), and feels sorry about sitting on a line of ants and accidentally killing them.
