            Angelina Jolie had an interesting run-in this weekend while out shopping with her son Pax.The Salt star, 45, encountered a group of animal rights activists while exiting the Urban Outfitters in West Hollywood, California on Saturday, followed by Pax, 16.Jolie was in an all-black outfit, mask included, when she crossed paths with the picketers, in matching slide shoes with a buckle. The Oscar winner also carried a small black purse with gold detailing, which she wore across her frame.Angelina's long skirt fell to her mid-calf, and she wore a long sleeved top as the weather has started cooling in Southern California. Her auburn hair was in a half-ponytail, and it hung long and straight at her shoulders.The group of demonstrators, from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), carried white signs with phrases such as 'Animals are not ours to wear' and 'This is the face of cashmere'. The photo on the sign that accompanied the latter phrase showed a sheep being shorn, while screaming.Another sign proclaimed, 'The face of fashion is fear'.As Jolie and her son left, the group entered the store and stood brandishing their signs. The mother-of-six, for her part, has long been an advocate for protesting and speaking out for one's beliefs.The one-time United Nations peace ambassador and refugee advocate in fact is currently at work on a new book with Amnesty International, focused on helping young people find their voice and power when it comes to protesting.Last week, it was announced that the work, entitled Know Your Rights (And Claim Them), has been acquired by Anderson Press.It will help children up until the age of 18 counter misinformation and let them know how to stop their rights from being violated.And on the acting front, Jolie's most recent voice role is in a film also advocating for animal rights. The animated film The One And Only Ivan, now streamable Disney+, follows a group of animals led by a gorilla named Ivan who struggle to free themselves from captivity.Additionally, Jolie has another family-friendly film ready to go – the Alice In Wonderland/Peter Pan crossover Come Away, the trailer for which premiered earlier this month.The busy actress has at least three other movies in the works, the most anticipated of which is Marvel's next hopeful tentpole The Eternals, due next November.
