Vegetarian Star

Two months ago, Mac Danzig sat down with XtremeCoutre to chit chat.

He’s proof that vegan men aren’t wimpy, and tough athletes can show their artistic side as he got into photography at the age of 16. The Ultimate Fighter champion has been a strict vegan for about 4 years.

He agreed to do an ad for PETA, although he doesn’t agree completely with how the group goes about promoting vegetarianism.

“A lot of people get mad at Peta. I don’t blame them. I agree with their mission. I believe in animal rights. I think it is a great cause. But I think the way they go about their business is very junior high most time.”

“They toilet paper people’s houses and do these ridiculous protests and it makes people say, “these animal rights guys are nuts”. That ruins it for the whole movement. But there are some really cool people that work for Peta that I met. The problem is Peta has a bad rep and now my name is synonymous with them.”

Looks like he may have angered some of those “animal rights guys are nuts” people already.

“You know how much sh*t people talk on the Internet because there’s anonymity. They get offended as if I’m telling them not to eat meat. I couldn’t care less if they eat meat or not.”
