Vegetarian Star

Brigitte Bardot has written a letter to Romanian MPs, asking them not to go ahead with a plan to cull thousands of stray dogs in the nation’s capitol, according to The Telegraph.

Plans are under way to pass a law that would allow unclaimed stray dogs to be euthanized after seven days.

“Romania will not be able to evolve if it continues to take cruel decisions against sensitive creatures, which are under the protection of European law,” the actress wrote. “Stray animals, neglected and threatened on the streets, mirror the fear of a country which fails to approach the future based on the principle of voluntary responsibility.”

Bardot, both a vegetarian and animal rights activist, has personally donated her own money in the past for a sterilization program for stray animals, and she proposes such a program as an alternative to culling the 100,000 that live in Bucharest.

Mallika Sherawat told the Times of India her brother said she’s a hopeless cause for marriage.

“(Vikram) says, “Who will marry you? Who will tolerate your tantrums and bad behavior?” Top it with my demand that I want a vegetarian yogi who meditates and neither smokes nor drinks.”

Sounds like her match could be Russell Simmons, vegan and yoga enthusiast who she’s shared some serious Twitter time with.

Not that we are in the business of matchmaking.

But there are several vegetarian websites that are.

If you’re not willing to lock lips with someone who’s got sausage residue on them, finding a vegetarian or vegan partner may be as simple as a mouse click.

Sites like Veggie Date, the more sustainable form of fishing–Veggie Fishing (with the horrible pun of “we’ll “hook” you up”), Vegetarian Passions and its completely animal free version, Vegan Passions and Ethical Singles all offer the Match.com experience sin carne.

There is someone who will put up with your temper tantrums.

And will make you vegan cupcakes to feel better.

Fat Mike "NOFX" Credit: Squirrelza on Wikimedia Commons

Fat Mike, from the American punk rock band formed in San Francisco, NOFX, is one of the owners of the Thistle Hill Tavern in Brooklyn, New York.

Fat Mike once sang a song mocking vegetarians, and although Vegetarian Mumbo Jumbo contains phrases like, “I don’t feel bad about/Eating something that’s dead/So why should I be sad/For cows getting hit in the head?” he later became a vegetarian, citing that, “people change.”

Definitely for the better.

However, the menu at Thistle Hill Tavern co-owned by the NOFX musician has the “Fat Mike” burger being a beefy, grass fed one, despite the fact there’s a vegan burger also on the menu which comes with fried fennel.

Might this have been coined based on Fat Mike’s days of Vegetarian Mumbo Jumbo?

Or did Fat Mike make a change again for the worse?

In February of this year, Treehugger founder Graham Hill presented his idea for reducing your carbon footprint without giving up meat entirely, his Weekday Vegetarian Plan.

The green living website has now posted Hill’s speech from the 2010 TED conference.

Upset with the fact his lifestyle had more of an impact on the planet than the transportation industry, Hill wasn’t quite ready to go cold turkey (pun intended) and quit eating meat.

“Imagine your last hamburger,” he jokingly told the audience.

By eating vegetarian Monday through Friday and allowing himself to have meat on the weekends, Hill was able to ease his conscience without having his taste buds go through withdrawal.

“It’s really about evaluating what you eat every day. If you’re familiar with the methane that beef production creates, it exceeds all of our combustion engines combined. Meatless Mondays is not that hard for anybody. It’s probably easier to do than organic. I’m trying to make sure we all have a bridge between ideology and reality.”

—Mario Batali, on why he chose to adopt Meatless Mondays in his 14 restaurants.

Mickey Rourke‘s new girlfriend, Russian model and actress Anastasia Makarenko, better not complain about sharing a romantic evening with his Chihuahuas.

Rourke said if it comes between a canine and a woman, it’s a pretty easy decision.

He takes his dogs to dinner with him at restaurants and won’t eat anywhere unless the establishment serves up a doggie bag with his dinner plate.

“We like to go to dinner together,” Mickey told animal rights group People of the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). “I just like to go out with them to restaurants, to take walks with them.”

According to Chowhound, the state of Florida became the first in the U.S. to enact a law allowing dogs in the indoor areas of restaurants, though many at least allow them in outdoor patio areas.

A good thing, as this may decrease the chances of a pet suffering to death in a hot car on an afternoon when its owner chooses to grab a bite to eat.

“The most important thing about having a dog and loving a dog is keeping the dog its whole natural life,” he added. “It’s not about saying four months later, ‘Oh I met some girl and she’s allergic to it’. No man, you can’t do that. You gotta get rid of the girl. She gonna leave you eventually anyway.”

Canines before cuties, man. It’s the only way to go.

Nicolas Cage is by no means vegetarian, but he’s chosen a very strange factor to determine what meat not to eat.

Cage says that pigs have the most undignified sex, and for that reason, he won’t touch pork.

Birds and fish get it on beautifully, though, and are fair game.

“I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales – sentient life – insects, reptiles,” Cage said.

“I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex. I think fish are very dignified with sex. So are birds.”

“But pigs, not so much. So I don’t eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl.”

Seems odd that Cage eats the ones who loves, the so called “sentient” ones.

Has anyone told him that pigs are some of the most sentient animals, having intelligence beyond a toddler?

What exactly it is about the fish and birds’ game that makes Nicolas proud is unknown, but if all the creatures start getting their thing on in the sloppiest of ways, maybe he’ll start admiring the reproductive cycle of wheat and soy.
