Paul McCartney has given his support to an anti-whaling campaign that urges the Norwegian government not to lift a 25 year ban on commercial whaling.

McCartney said, “It’s time to end the cruel slaughter of whales and leave these magnificent creatures alone. In the 21st century how can we even contemplate killing whales – or any animal – in such barbaric ways? Governments should act on their responsibilities and protect these beautiful creatures.”

Seth Rogen narrated the children’s story, The Story of Ferdinand, better known as Ferdinand the Bull, as the Salastina Music Society performed a composition by Alan Ridout at the Salastina Music Society debut concert.

Originally published in the 1930s, The Story of Ferdinand tells of a happy go lucky, passive bull who would rather be enjoying nature than fighting with other animals or partaking in bullfights.

Jane Lynch, who plays the cunning and caustic cheerleading coach on the Fox television series Glee, would rather beat the crap out of Vocal Adrenaline than an animal.

Her character, Sue Sylvester, had a few lines on the Mash Up episode that originally threatened Glee coach Will Schuester by letting him bond with a cat before ending its life.

Um, yeah, even if this is television, that doesn’t belong in any conversation.

“I’m not going to say that,” Lynch said of her lines. “I work for PETA. I can’t say kill the cat.”

The script was changed to reflect adopting an animal from a shelter and punching Schuester instead. Nice work!

“I’ll need to see the set list for sectionals, after all. I want them on my desk warm from the laminator at 5 p.m. If it is one minute late, I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat. And then on some dark, cold night, I will steal away into your home and punch you in the face.”

Daniel Bryan has been ousted from the WWE!

Because removing a vegan from any sports competition is a major blow to vegetarians everywhere, PETA has personally written a letter to Vince McMahon, chairman and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, asking for Bryan to be reinstated.

“Lots of athletes, including baseball slugger Prince Fielder, the NBA’s Raja Bell, MMA fighters K.J. Noons and Mac Danzig, and Olympic Legend Carl Lewis, show that vegetarians often leave meat-eaters in the dust, gnawing on their greasy chicken wings as they wonder what hit them. But Bryan represents the quintessential vegan badass.”

Carrie Underwood was spotted in a Los Angeles airport with her dog Ace, who she transported in a Sherpa’s Pet Trading Company Original Tote Around Town carrier.

The Tote Around Town is lined with a faux lambskin cushion so pets like Ace can stay comfortable without rubbing on another animal’s hide.

Sherpa’s carriers are airline approved for both dogs and cats of various sizes, many of which have the same removable, washable faux lambskin cushion.

More information about the totes can be found at Sherpa’s, and they are available online at places like Republic of Paws.

Kristin Bauer and her newlywed beau, musician Abri Van Statten, have a love for animals and the environment in common, as they’re both working with whale conservation.

“Right now, Abri and I are working with the International Fund for Animal Welfare and Pierce and Keely Brosnan to protect whales… (A key International Whaling Commission) vote is in the next two weeks,” Kristin told the Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.

Kristin is probably referring to the vote by the IWC on whether to lift the 25 year ban on commercial whaling.

Knut may look as calm as cucumbers in this photo, but a representative from PETA says he and his polar bear mates in the German zoo are stressed, and are suffering from panic attacks and repetitive behavioral movements.

“He (Knut) and his companion Gianna are definitely displaying behavioral problems,” said Frank Albrecht, a zoo expert for PETA’s German branch who also recommended the two not get it on because they are so closely related.

Albrecht, along with the animal rights group, is calling for an end to breeding polar bears in captivity and keeping them in German zoos, period.

Albrecht and PETA claim that of the 34 polar bears in captivity in the 11 German zoos, between 75% and 90% show signs of being disturbed.

So it’s pretty much unanimous that drunk driving is one of the stupidest acts to commit, as it puts everyone on the road at risk of death, not to mention the idiot who’s driving.

Don’t forget there’s one more reason to round up all the Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Students Against Drunk Driving and Parakeets Against Drunk Driving members in your neighborhood cause that offender may hurt an animal as well.

Animal rights group In Defense of Animals is ripping actor Chris Klein for allegedly Driving Under the Influence with a dog in the car.
