Cloris Leachman‘s funny outtakes from her PSA on spaying and neutering cats and dogs is almost as funny as the actual commercial.

Leachman thinks school children should be taught how to interact with animals as part of the curriculum.

“I think we should teach in our schools how to behave with animals, how to treat them,” the actress says in the video.

If there are biology classes in junior high that want kids to cut up a dead frog, why not teach them how to care for, interact and evaluate behaviors of common pets like cats and dogs and even farm animals?

Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest have written an open letter to Gary Conklin and workers at the Conklin Dairy Farm in Ohio where an undercover investigation by animal rights group Mercy For Animals revealed severe abuse to dairy cows that included body slamming, repeatedly punching them in the face, stomping on their heads, pulling them by their ears and giving as many as 40 blows to the head.

A graphic video of the ordeal can be seen after the break in this post.

“Our daughter came to us last night urging us to watch the video of the abuse at your plant. She was overcome with grief that human beings could inflict such cruelty and unconscious hatred at the most benign of creatures and their infants. The shocking images were too much for her father and me but we watched enough to know where it led.”

“What will you do?”

Isabella Rossellini took Sundance Channel viewers into the sex lives of spiders, ducks and anchovies with her Green Porno and Seduce Me series.

Rossellini’s shows are designed to entertain and educate, as such was the case with an episode touching on sustainable fish and the problems of overfishing.

Rossellini shares in an interview with Treehugger:

“To myself I called them Green Porno with a Conscience. This was the series called Bon Appetit, and they all start with me preparing delicious risotto with shrimp, or eating fried calamari or eating anchovies on my pizza. And then they stop and there’s a vignette on how they’re made and how they are fished, how actually they are over-fished so that we are depleting our ocean.”

Lea Michele has admitted to her two favorite guilty pleasures, and they’re both in the sweet tooth category.

Michele told Stylist:

“Dark chocolate and vegan cupcakes! My guilty pleasure used to be cheese but since I’ve become a vegan I’ve found that vegan desserts taste better than any regular dessert, so that’s what I go to immediately. I’m obsessed with Smart Water. I drink it all day long. I used to be a really big coffee drinker and then I just decided to cut down.”

Unfortunate that Michele is representing Dove Hair Care Products, because according to the Caring Consumer Database, Dove/Unilever is a company that still conducts animal testing.

Cloris Leachman has recorded a hilarious PSA about spaying and neutering pets for PETA.

Leachman fumbles with opening a condom package, which may have been a little easier if she had claws like a cat. Similarly, the unwanted pet population could be lower if cats knew how to use condoms.

“Condoms come in handy when you want to have some fun but you don’t want to get pregnant. Unfortunately, millions need this protection..Can’t even get the damn things out of the package…I’m talking about cats and dogs.”

Daryl Hannah has been to a lot of places since she left her hometown of Chicago, Illinois in the United States to pursue an acting career.

Most recently her adventures took her to England to raise awareness for biodiversity, but she says the best meals she eats overseas are in Italy.

When not in Italy, she’s probably brown bagging it.

“I usually bring my own food because I’m a vegetarian and you can’t always count on finding good vegetarian food abroad,” the actress told The Independent, which profiles some of her travel experiences.

Isabel Lucas was spotted heading for breakfast with a male friend at the Alcove Cafe & Bakery in Los Feliz, California.

Who knows what the Transformers actress ordered, but Lucas has gone veggie since watching Earthlings, so she may have taken advantage of the cafe’s curried tofu.

Seen in more than one dish at the vegetarian friendly restaurant, including the curried tofu benedict with sesame seeds and spinach, or tossed into the vegan wrap with hummus, grilled portabello mushroom, arugula, cucumber, tomato, radish and avocado in a spinach tortilla.

Rachelle Carson Begley and her husband Ed Begley Jr. try to live as green a life as possible, although, if you tune into their Planet Green Channel show, “Living with Ed,” you’ll find they aren’t always in agreement, as Rachelle’s zest meter for an eco and veggie friendly lifestyle is always running with a little less fuel.

One area of green Rachelle doesn’t skip though is her family and home, as she told Celebrity Baby Scoop, that although she thinks men get into the green movement for energy or financial savings, women do so to protect their families.

“We have drop tolerant plants and our whole yard is filled with fruit trees. We have 4 fig trees, 3 apple trees, 3 orange and 2 lemon. We also have a vegetable garden. We live like anyone else, but we have a few more restrictions and we try a little extra to get organic foods. We’re mostly a vegetarian household too.”

Rachelle also keeps the plastics, parabens and toxic cleaning supplies out of the kitchen and bathroom.

“Look under your sinks and look what you are exposing yourself and your children to. Something like Fantastic or Tilex works instantaneously, but look at the downsides of those chemicals going into your water stream. You are breathing those chemicals and they are going onto your skin.”
