Vegetarian Star

Clive Standen knows what it means to be a tough guy.

He plays the fearless warrior Rollo on the History Channel’s drama Vikings.

Vikings may fight, raid and do other seemingly barbaric activities, but the one thing this Norse hero won’t do is whale.

In a PSA for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Standen explains why “Real Men Don’t Whale,” and regardless of what took place in ancient times, there’s no place for whaling today.

“I may play a merciless Viking on TV but there’s no place for such barbaric behavior in the 21st Century,” Standen says in the video. “Join me in making whaling ancient history once and for all.”

“We don’t support breed-specific legislation — research shows that bans on certain types of dogs are largely ineffective and often a waste of public resources.”

“As an alternative to breed-specific policies, the CDC recommends a community-based approach to prevent dog bites. And ultimately, we think that’s a much more promising way to build stronger communities of pets and pet owners.”

–The Obama Administration, in response to a petition from opponents of legislation that bans certain breeds of dogs. The official response from the White House cites two decades of statistics on dog bites and people who use abuse and neglect dogs to state their point on why such laws hurt rather than help animals.

Mayim Bialik is well accustomed to modifying traditional Jewish recipes to fit the criteria for being vegan.

Her upcoming cookbook, The Plant-Based Family Kitchen, will be especially devoted to creating animal-free versions of things like egg-free latkes and vegan tofu matzah brei.

Many followers of religion feel treating animals kindly is a duty, much like caring for the sick and poor and being a good neighbor. Bialik feels no differently and is using the approaching Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah to ask Jews to consider removing animal products from their diets.
