Courtney, currently starring in The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition, wanted to get involved after a 15-week PETA investigation revealed that a PetSmart supplier was gassing animals in plastic bags and setting them aside “to die and waste away,” as one of the supplier’s supervisors put it.
