An American animal activist has urged Vietnamese people to go vegetarian at least one day a week for all the health and environmental benefits that it brings, and as a way to save more animals from being slaughtered.

Robert Lucius, ‎Program Manager - Asia Pacific at Humane Society International, a major international animal protection organization, has recently returned to Vietnam.

Founded over 60 years ago, the Humane Society International works to protect all animals, including animals in laboratories, farm animals, companion animals, and wildlife around the world, according to its website.

Lucius served in the U.S. Marines for 22 years. After he was discharged from the army, he began working for the Humane Society International in pursuit of his animal protection cause.
