Ellen DeGeneres "Laugh.Dance.Rescue" V-Neck"

Animal activists could buy this shirt for themselves to celebrate Missouri passing Prop B puppy mill legislation.

Ellen DeGeneres is selling a V-neck t-shirt through her show’s website that benefits the Humane Society of the United States.

The “Laugh.Dance.Rescue.” shirt is available in sizes small to XX-Large, all sizes priced at only $20.

Laugh.Dance.Rescue. features an outline of a puppy with the tee’s signature title printed on the pup’s head.

A portion of the net proceeds of sales from the 100% pre-washed cotton shirt benefits HSUS.

Order. Then Laugh.Dance. and be thankful for the opportunity to help an organization that works to change laws to protect millions of pets, farm and wild animals.

A 2004 video of Troy Gentry, of the country music band Montgomery Gentry, killing a bear and watching it bleed to death is circulating on animal welfare sites. The animal rights group SHark (Showing Animals Respect and Kindness) obtained it after a legal battle with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The tape was finally released under the Freedom of Information Act.

After shooting the bear located on a wildlife connection owned by Lee Greenly, Gentry can be heard in the background saying things like, “Wow! What an experience. This is awesome.”

In 2006, Gentry stuck a deal that resulted in a fine of $15,000 and three months of probation, in addition to being forced to hand over the stuffed bear and the bow used to kill him to authorities in exchange for avoiding more serious charges. The owner of the wildlife land also was charged. As with many videos showing animals dying, these aren’t easy to watch.

More video after the jump.

Smart USA PETA Spay and Neuter Wrap

An environmentally friendly car with a message to save millions of cats and dogs from euthanasia? Only the marketing folks at PETA would think of something so clever!

Smart USA, the maker of the compact, fuel-efficient two person vehicle, has partnered with Sanrio to bring treehuggers car wraps with the Hello Kitty logo on them.

PETA is asking Smart USA to take things a bit further and place a message about spaying and neutering pets on the wraps.

Is Phil Mickelson having second thoughts about going vegetarian to ease his symptoms of psoriatic arthritis?

From comments made to the press, it seems Mickelson is either unsure if the diet is helping his condition or he’s afraid the turkey will get the best of him for Thanksgiving.

“I’ve been doing it for just over four months and I’m just having second thoughts,” Mickelson said. “I don’t know if it really is going to make a difference or what. So we’ll see. We can talk about it in January, and I’ll have a better idea — see how the holidays go.”

Instead of getting disappointed over how his lefty is responding, Mickelson should also consider the other physical conditions a vegetarian or vegan diet can prevent–like heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity–something his multiple burger a week habit will surely bring on if he returns to that lifestyle.

"Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook"

Kim Barnouin doesn’t think there can be too many cookbook authors in the kitchen.

During an interview with UK’s So Feminine, the co-author of Skinny Bitch and author of her recently released cookbook, Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook, said recipe developers and food writers should definitely pursue their passion of writing deliciously.

“When you find the thing that you are passionate about, go after it 100%. There will never be too many cookbook authors. I love cookbooks so much and I am always on the lookout for new ones. Finding your specific niche can help narrow down your book ideas and help you focus on creating your specific style.”

Fortunately for vegetarians, vegans and those looking to reduce animal products in their diets, cookbook trends have shown the market is welcoming this guidance with open arms.

The midterm elections are over, but one former politician will be asking for your vote soon, as PETA holds its Sexiest Vegetarians contest for 2011.

Insiders reveal former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, is definitely a candidate.

“Clinton will surely be a popular nominee in next year’s contest,” said PETA’s Jaime Zalac, according to U.S. News and World Report.

On the advice of two famous physicians and authors, Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Clinton turned to a plant-based diet in hopes it may repair some of the damage to his cardio system he’s sustained over the years after learning of a study that showed most individuals who stopped eating animal products were able to reverse signs of heart disease.

“The notion that you need animal food as protein is one of the great conspiracies of bullshit by the government. Did we not all grow up saying we had to have four glasses of whole milk a day for healthy bones? It’s ridiculous. It’s liquid cholesterol.”

—Steve Wynn, entrepreneur behind the famous Las Vegas Wynn Casinos who was rumored to have turned vegan weeks ago. If there was any doubt about the rumor, it’s definitely official–Wynn’s vegan and is talking all about it at Las Vegas Weekly, from putting vegan items on his restaurant menus to how going vegan lowered his cholesterol to the DVD he distributed to all his employees that made him stop eating meat the moment he watched it, Eating.
