Founder of the Sundance Film Festival, Robert Redford is one to watch himself with his longtime support of animal rights. Along with his support of independent filmmakers, another reason we love Redford is that he launched the Foundation to Protect New Mexico Wildlife which helps to keep horses out of slaughterhouses.
