Nellie McKay’s Dog Chewed Vegan Shoes, Other TAFA Highlights
Written by Vegetarian Star on July 27th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Female Musicians, Female Singers.
The fifth annual Taking Action For Animals conference is wrapping up its last day and several stars showed up for a banquet to share their vegan and animal rights experiences.
Nellie McKay talked about her recently adopted pit bulls, who apparently love to eat some vegan things, because they’ve been chewing on her shoes, which she pointed out to the audience.
Humane Society of the United States president and CEO Wayne Pacelle talked about his decision to work with convicted dog fighting ringleader and ex Atlanta Falcons football player Michael Vick.
And Ginnifer Goodwin discussed how various “moments” like pouring milk over her cereal led to her making the vegan transition.
