Paul McCartney is speaking out against a proposal to lift a ban on fox hunting that was put into effect in 2004.

“I, along with the majority of the British public, backed this historic victory for wildlife,” McCartney said, according to Yahoo News.

David Cameron, who is running for Prime Minister for the elections taking place in May, has said he will let members of Parliament decide if the ban should be lifted.

McCartney calls the practice of fox hunting “cruel and unnecessary.”

WBA Super Middleweight Boxing Champion Andre Ward is starring in a PSA for the Knock Out Dog Fighting Program.

The program partners with several organizations that come in contact with juveniles, such as law enforcement, schools and community centers in an effort to stop animal cruelty through education and by providing alternative activities for youth.

“Because of my accomplishments, I have a platform, whether I like it or not, and there are young and older people looking at me saying, ‘Ok, you’ve accomplished these great things but what are you going to do with your platform?’” Ward said.

“I plan to make a difference in the lives of others and bring awareness and knowledge to all who will listen about the cruelties of dog fighting and the link between those who abuse animals and those who abuse people.”

Ward has an undefeated record of 21-0 with 13 KOs as a professional boxer. He is also the only American boxer to win an Olympic gold medal in the past decade.

Leona Lewis looks as sweet as agave syrup, but don’t let that fool you into thinking she can easily be pushed around, especially when it comes to her beliefs.

She told Smooth Radio, “That’s a big misconception. I think that a lot of people are like ‘she’s shy, she’s very timid’. Once people get to know me they know that that’s actually not true. I am very opinionated. I stand up for what I believe.”

Like not believing in selling herself out for fur, as she explained to Smooth Radio about her decision to turn down a opening a sale for a department store that sold fur.

“Yeah they did offer me money to open the sale but I said no because they stock fur. They’re one of the few places that still do it. I just think it’s so backwards, it’s very evil and cruel. I definitely stand up for what I believe in when it comes to animal rights.”

Her most recent act of activism was getting the officials at the BRIT awards to change the menu.

Keep it up, Leona!

Not even 30 years old and she’s already a crazy cat lady.

Amy Winehouse has opened her home to several cats over the past months.

Now that she’s leaving her home in London, she’s decided to dump the kitties at the local shelter.

“Amy was pretty upset about it because she loved them dearly, but she had to give them up,” a source told The Sun. “They were climbing all over the place, breeding and generally getting out of control.”

But isn’t “breeding,” and “out of control” usually what takes place at the Winehouse residence?

Thumbs up for Amy making the decision to invite animals into her life.

Thumbs down for not realizing the amount of time required to care for one, let alone multiple cats.

Thumbs up for taking the animals to the shelter instead of letting them run loose.

Thumbs…oh, never mind. Too much Amy Winehouse analyzing and you’ll have yourself in rehab.

Hopefully, Amy at least got the animals spayed or neutered and they all will find loving homes.

Cause there’s just not enough room for all of them in that beehive.

Bernadette Peters (who’s due for a slice of vegan birthday cake this month) will appear on The View Friday February 19 as part of the show’s 2nd annual special to encourage adoption.

Peters is reportedly bringing her dog along with her as well.

As a spinoff to the Westminster Dog Show, The View will present their version of a dog show, the Mutt Show.

Five mutts up for adoption will be competing and one lucky four legged friend will be awarded the Pedigree Dogs Rule award.

According to Broadway World, Peters will also promote her second children’s book, Stella is a Star. Proceeds from the book are said to go towards Broadway Barks, an organization Peters co-founded with Mary Tyler Moore, that helps find homes for shelter animals.

Healthier seafood is better, but complete vegetarian is best!

Travis McCoy has won a PETA Libby award for most animal friendly hip hop artist.

All those plugs on his Twitter about his latest vegetarian meal eaten paid off.

Travis has also starred in an anti-fur ad.

He failed, however, to stop Katy Perry from stuffing her face with pepperoni before the two broke it off.

Maybe Russell Brand will pick up where Travis left off.
