Her love for animals is very important to her.
The three-time Tony-winning Broadway star, who is known for leading productions of "Sunday in the Park with George," "Song and Dance" and "Annie Get Your Gun," was in New York City on July 10 for her 24th annual Broadway.
Peters reacted to protesters who crashed her event.
The 74-year-old actor called out the protesters for disrupting her while she was speaking.
I'm sorry! She told them that they were preventing the animals from having a chance to be adopted.
She asked if that wasn't what she wanted.
The person who shared the clip wrote in the caption, "How do we get a Tony for fighting protesters at Broadway Barks?"
Activists behind the website theirturn.net spoke out against the Humane Society of New York. It is not known how the Humane Society is involved with Peters' organization.
Many people applauded Peters for handling the heckling. One person agreed with the original post and said that they should give another Tony to her.
Literally give Bernadette another Tony for just existing

When another asked what the protest was about, the writer joked that women who are 74 years old have perfect skin.
One person wrote that they would piss off all the people.
Many people were confused as to why the protesters would speak out at the event considering Peters' support of animal rights.
One person wondered what the protesters were protesting like.
A few social media users compared the moment to a performance by Broadway legend Patti LuPone in which she challenged theater goers to follow the mask policy.
One person said that an angry Bernadette Peters is more frightening than an angry Patti LuPone.
Broadway Barks and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS completed their first in-person "adopt-a-thon" since the COVID-19 epidemic began.
According to CBS News New York, Hugh Jackman, who co-hosted the event, and other actors were in attendance to support Peters' efforts to help dogs and cats find permanent homes.
Thousands of pets have been placed in loving homes with the help of volunteers and celebrities alike, according to the charity's website. As Broadway Barks looks to the future, it will continue the focus on shelter animals here and across the country while shining a broader light on responsible pet ownership, the importance of spaying and neutering, and the impact of pets in our lives.
