Meatless Mouthful–Def Leppard’s Phil Collen On Why He Went Veg
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 1st, 2011 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Meatless Mouthful.
“I became a vegetarian at the end of the Pyromania tour [in 1984]. I wanted to do it for ethical reasons…I didn’t like the idea of eating slaughtered, tortured animals. The vegan thing was more of a health thing, getting clogged-up dairy stuff. Most cows who are still alive, and some of them have an okay life and are [milked] properly, they’re tortured as well—just slammed into these pens in these pretty nasty things.”
