“There are a lot of people who talk about changing things. But there are few people who actually do.”

“I definitely feel as though veganism intimidates some people…but if I could get people to eat one vegan meal a day, or at least trying those options, that’s what matters to me.”

–Danielle Konya, founder and owner of Vegan Treats, a vegan bakery in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Konya will be the star of a new Animal Planet series titled Sweet Avenger. The show will focus on Konya’s life as a vegan baker, activist and mom.

Reality TV has a way of giving the vegetarian the shaft. And not the juicy, nutritious celery kind either.

President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States Wayne Pacelle recently interviewed with Northern California’s public radio station KQED where he discussed the most recent seal hunt initiated in Canada, his new book, The Bond, and numerous animal welfare issues.

[T]he screams of horror from the animals that watch the first other ones be bludgeoned—they don’t even try to run,” Iggy said in an interview with PETA. “They don’t know what’s gonna hit ‘em. I don’t think anyone who’d seen that would want to wear fur.”

The behind the scenes video component to Iggy’s ad shoot can be viewed below.
