Ady Gil, animal lover, founder of American Hi Definition and Sweetwater Digital and benefactor to the Sea Shepherd Society, is aiming to save more turkeys this year with your help.

From now until November 25th, Gil will sponsor an additional turkey for every one sponsored through Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey program.

He originally offered to sponsor another turkey up to $20,000, but after that amount was raised in just a few short days, he raised the offer to $50,000!

“Thanksgiving is a symbolic holiday,” said Gil, in a press release. “I don’t believe we should celebrate by killing another species. Every animal, including turkeys, deserves to see the light of day, go to sleep and wake up without finding themselves on someone’s plate. This is a time to show people that we can celebrate without causing suffering.”

Russell Brand is addressing the rumor that he bought Katy Perry a tiger for their wedding, emphasizing not only is it against his ethics as a vegetarian, but it’s just plain dumb and dangerous!

“I’m a vegetarian, you don’t give people tigers, it’s stupid, it’s dangerous, and the tigers don’t like it,” Brand said.

Yes, having wild animals as pets leads to nothing but tragedy, as we’ve seen with Travis the Chimp and other stories, like the man in Harlem, New York, who kept an 8 foot long, 400-pound tiger in his apartment.

Police were tipped off when a neighbor complained of urine seeping through the floor into an adjacent apartment after kitty refused to use the little box on more than one occasion. The tiger was transferred to a sanctuary that won’t offer him a high-rise view of the city, but a more natural, safer place for him and humans.

Bethenny Frankel is unveiling holiday greeting cards she’s created using templates from Cafe Press, a company specializing in custom printed products and holiday gifts. Each week, Bethenny will feature a card she created using one of Cafe Press’ templates. Recently, Bethenny created a card using a template that benefits the animals rights group PETA.

“I’m so excited about my CafePress family holiday card and invite to my second-annual tree trimming party. I’m a huge supporter of PETA, so I love that my design benefits their organization. I used a photo of my first child, Cookie aka dabooboo, and I’m sending it to friends, family and business contacts to spread holiday cheer. I chose the invitation design and added in the party details which only took two minutes!”

Anyone wishing to create their personalized card can do so at Cafe Press and choose their charity of choice that will benefit, which includes Greenpeace, Breastcancer.org., Operation Gratitude and Rock The Vote.

Oh, say it isn’t so!

Alicia Silverstone, vegan queen, cookbook author, blogger and activist, has admitted to occasionally cheating on her vegan diet by having cheese here and there.

At an EcoTools party, she told US Magazine, “If I was at a party and there was a tray of cheese sitting there and I had had drinks, then I might have a bite.”

“It’s human. It’s a really good reminder that sometimes you need to have what you remember is this good thing. Because then you have it, and you’re like, ‘Actually that wasn’t better than the recipes in my book.”

Portia de Rossi has revealed the moment it struck her that eating animals is way uncool.

As part of Oprah.com‘s collection of “A-ha Moments,” where celebrities reveal the moment something clicked, Portia said watching farm animals at play was enough to get her thinking.

“We had four cows and two calves and, after a few months, we took in a four-year-old Canadian Warmblood mare named Diva,” De Rossi explained about just moving in with her now wife, Ellen DeGeneres.

Rip Esselstyn

Rip Esselstyn has partnered with Whole Foods Market to guide customers in making the best choices for dinner, which consists of items that have roots in the ground, not an animal.

The author of the best selling book, “The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter’s 28-Day Save-Your-Life Plan That Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Pounds,” who turned his fire station veg explained to the Huffington Post that most people are “plant weak,” when they should be what he calls “Plant Strong.”

“I tell people, right now we have a country that is plant-weak. If you were to look at caloric pie of how Americans eat, close to 60 percent of America’s calories are coming from refined and processed foods. You know, the white stuff: the fried chips, the soda pop, fruit juices, doughnuts and cakes.”

When it comes to fashion, Bob Barker knows what’s in style and it’s not fur.

During an interview with Stylist, the vegetarian and animal rights activist explained how his wife got him on the right track to what’s trendy.

“My wife stopped wearing fur 35 years ago, and she wasn’t trying to influence me, but by example she did. I had several leather jackets and coats with sheepskin that I gave away. I stopped wearing leather belts and then stopped wearing leather completely. And this was all before I became a vegetarian about 32 or 33 years ago.”
