The Prince of Wales‘ line of Duchy Originals are being boycotted by activists because Charles is calling for a cull of grey squirrels in order to reintroduce red squirrels to the Cornwall area. Both Viva! and Animal Aid are asking people not to buy biscuits and other goods from Duchy’s.

The move, which activists call “arrogant meddling with nature,” is supported by the Red Squirrel Survival Trust because grey squirrels damage native trees in the area and can transmit small pox to red squirrels.

A representative from Animal Aid said, “To mass-kill a healthy species and then reintroduce one that may struggle to survive in that area, is utterly absurd and a shocking waste of valuable conservation money. The suffering that this cull will cause – to both reds and greys – is without justification, and is driven by the Prince’s whimsical preference for red squirrels. We must speak out against such arrogant meddling with nature. Prince Charles may be King someday, but he is not God.”

A restaurant near Phoenix, Arizona has put lion burgers on the menu in celebration of the World Cup soccer games in Africa, reports the New York Daily News.

Can’t see why a colored black and white popcorn ball wouldn’t do the trick, but okay.

“We thought that since the World Cup was in Africa … that the lion burger might be interesting for some of our more adventurous customers,” said owner Cameron Selogie.

This creative thinking has gotten Il Vinaio 250 (so far) angry e-mails from animal rights activists and outcries from regular customers.

Casey Affleck told USA Today he has plans to open a restaurant in Los Angeles.

The vegan of 12 years joked that if you order a meat dish in front of him, he’ll “think so much less of you.”

Seen here is a video Affleck recorded explaining why he went vegan.  He explains that although it was hard finding suitable food and clothing over a decade ago, so much has changed now. Could this be due to an increase in the demand for vegetarian products?

A report in 2003 by Natural Foods Merchandiser revealed sales of vegetarian products increased by 20 to 40 percent annually over a period of 5 years. In 1996, U.S. sales of vegetarian foods were $3.1 million. By 2001, those sales were $1.25 billion!

Chelsea Clinton is scheduled to walk down the aisle soon with childhood friend and investment banker Marc Mezvinsky.

Life & Style gave Popeater some details about the wedding for the vegan daughter of the former President of the United States.

“The food will include vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, but there will also be grass-fed organic beef on the menu. And dad and President Bill Clinton prefers California wines, so he’ll likely chose those to serve at the wedding.”

Having a wedding where the only animal present is your dog, the ringbearer?
