“I became a vegetarian out of concern for animals, but I wasn’t a vegetarian long before I realized there’s something to that. I don’t think I would have worked for the past five years probably were it not for my vegetarian diet.”

———–Bob Barker, retired gameshow host of “The Price Is Right” and an advocate for spaying and neutering pets.

YES! on Prop 2 Campaign to stop Animal Cruelty Event - Beverly Hills, CA

Several celebrities made an appearance at a fundraiser for Prop 2– a California state ballot measure that would outlaw confining crates and cages used in the factory farming of hens, veal calves and pregnant pigs. The measure is sponsored by the Humane Society of the U.S., Farm Sanctuary and other animal welfare groups.

Moby showed up to perform and Tobey Maguire put his two cents in as well.

“To me, it’s a no-brainer,” Maguire said. “I’m a near-vegan. I eat like a vegan.”

Ellen DeGeneres and her new wife Portia de Rossi were supporters as well, Ellen emphasizing that the move isn’t about taking care of animals, “It’s just making things a little better for them.” If you remember, the two of them provided their wedding guest with a completely vegan feast, including vegan red velvet cake.

Heather Mills Wants To Show Some Skin

Farm Sanctuary's 2008 Gala

When a celebrity announces they’ll be getting naked for PETA, it almost isn’t news anymore. However, we are exceptionally proud of this latest gal for wanting to show her skin in the name of animals.

Heather Mills is definitely on the way up again after all that nasty press that has followed her over the past several months. Not too long ago, she donated a million dollars worth of soy meat to inner city children and now she’s expressed her interest in posing for one of PETA’s advertisements.

According to Hollywood Scoop, a source revealed what most of us already know: Heather is fanatic about PETA as well as other animal rights organizations.

“She is willing to do whatever it takes to get people to listen and stop abusing the rights of animals,” said the source. “She says she would love to pose for one of PETA’s campaigns.”

The good thing about Heather is, unlike some other celebs, we can’t imagine her making PETA or vegetarians fools after being caught swaying from the lifestyle.
