Elle MacPherson Uses Endangered Rhino For Horn Powder

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 5th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Models.

Elle Macpherson

Just because all supermodels get nose jobs doesn’t mean they should require Rhinos to get them too.

Reports from Celebitchy say Elle MacPherson has angered animal rights activists after an interview with the Times Online revealed she takes Chinese medicine made from crushed and grounded rhinoceros horns. And these nose jobs don’t come with anesthetic, we assure you.

Times Online: You’re said to be a great fan of Chinese medicine. What does powdered rhino horn taste like?
EP: A little bit like crushed bone and fungus in a capsule. Does the job though.

Justin Gaston Ben Elliot PETA "If I Can Dream"

Justin Gaston Ben Elliot PETA "If I Can Dream"

Well, well, well.

Miley Cyrus‘ controversial Vanity Fair photos are nothing compared to her ex boyfriend Justin Gaston‘s latest photo shoot with Ben Elliot to promote People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the television series that follows aspiring musicians on their way to fame, If I Can Dream.

PETA people are known for nakedness, so it’s easy to figure out the idea here is either vegetarian, stop wearing fur, etc., but beyond that, it’s not really clear which campaign these guys, along with model Giglianne Braga, are promoting, other than bedroom freakiness. More nakedness down below (ha, ha great pervert pun).

Bob Barker “Larry King Live” On Whaling (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 5th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Film & TV, TV Hosts, Videos.

Bob Barker‘s visit to Larry King Live was, as expected, phenomenal!

Hard to believe the octogenarian is keeping a pace most men half his age would struggle to compete with.

Barker sat alongside Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson and explained why he gave $5 million to fight whale harpooning.

Harper and other activists probably breathed a sign of relief when the International Whaling Commission recently rejected a much publicized proposal to turn over a 24 year moratorium on commercial whaling.

Dogs Help Soldiers Battle PTSD In U.S. Army

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, July 3rd, 2010 in Animal Issues.

During this 4th of July as we celebrate freedom and independence, it’s a great time think about the men and women who serve and fight to protect ours. And the animals that help them.

Recent statements made by the Army Surgeon General’s special assistant for mental health, Col. Elspeth Cameron Ritchie, M.D., at the annual convention of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), informed that the army is using dogs to help soldiers recover from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

“Animals are not just cute,” Ritchie said. “They provide support.”

Kate Gosselin

TLC is airing a special episode of Kate Plus 8 on Sunday, July 11 at 9 pm ET/PT where Kate Gosselin will become a small farmer!

The Dancing with the Stars competitor is said to get excited about the prospect of producing her own organic eggs and enlists the help of some Amish neighbors to help her build a chicken coop.

Good for Kate being a local farmer, but will her eggs really be organic? Is it even possible to define what the heck an organic egg is?
