Vegetarian Star

Jackson Galaxy, host of the Animal Planet series My Cat from Hell, married Minoo Rahbar in a ceremony at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.

The couple’s dog Mooshka served as the ring bearer at the nation’s largest no-kill shelter located in Kanab, Utah.

If you love working with animals, a sanctuary for rescued ones just might be the ideal spot for a wedding.

Just hope if there are any 4-legged guests present, they’re a little more welcoming than the combative cats you meet on a regular basis.

Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting is helping the Humane Society of the United States raise money to help end the annual commercial seal hunt in Canada.

The Big Bang Theory actress has recorded a PSA for the Protect Seals Fundraiser.

“Each spring, the Canadian government authorizes fishermen to club or shoot to death hundreds of thousands of seals for their fur,” Kaley says in the video. “More than 2 million defenseless baby harp seals have been killed since 2002, and 98% of them were younger than 3 months old.”

“As a New Jersey native I was delighted to learn from my friends at The Humane Society of the United States that our state could be the first in the country to enact a ban on the importation and sale of ivory – a product of horrific cruelty to elephants and rhinos, who could very well become extinct within decades if we don’t act now. Governor, you have my full support and I hope you usher this critical bill through without delay.”

—Meryl Streep, in a statement addressed to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, urging him to sign bill S.2012/A.3128 into law, prohibiting the sale and trade of elephant ivory and rhino horns in the state.

“With the release of the documentary Blackfish and PETA’s educational campaign, the public now knows about the devastating effects of keeping orcas captive and closely confined at SeaWorld. Frustrated orcas like Tilikum have worn their teeth down to the nubs by chewing on their enclosures, their dorsal fins collapse, and they die prematurely, reject their young, and harm and kill humans. SeaWorld then tries to mask the orcas’psychosis with psychotropic drugs. As the public hears about this, ticket sales decline. When will SeaWorld develop a plan to move the orcas to a sea pen in a natural setting in line with public opinion?”

—Jessica Biel, urging SeaWorld to consider releasing its orcas to a more natural environment.
