Vegetarian Star

We told you to stick around and it paid off! Here’s part two of our interview with news anchor Nicole Lapin.

You’ve been involved with several charitable organizations and campaigns like the United Nation’s “Girl Up” initiative. Are there any vegetarian, animal rights, sustainable food or environmental organizations you’re particularly fond of?
You caught me! I can’t say no when a good cause asks for my help…I know, I know, that sounds so Pollyannaish, but it’s true. I have done some work for the Humane Society and am happy to help with any other organizations that need it.

I’ve read in some of your other interviews that you’ve mastered putting together a vegan meal in the most unlikely of places, including gas stations. Can you name some healthy vegan ideas from places where it’s hard to find vegan food like vending machines and convenience stores?
I have to say, I’ve eaten every meal at Starbucks more often than I’d like to admit. They have some really wonderful new options with Two Moms In The Raw and Peeled dried fruit.

“I love New York but this is no place for a beautiful horse.”

“It’s near 1am now an these poor horses are lined up in the center of time square…against all the traffic, noise, fumes, and people.”

“@PamelaDAnderson I’m in NY right now and it is devastating to see these horses on these busy streets at all hours. Wish this would end:(“‘

—Lea Michele, in series of Twitter messages about horse-drawn carriages in New York City. Lea agreed with Pamela Anderson and a campaign that wants to put eco-friendly vintage electric cars on the roads and take horses off. A diva knows best! Rachael Berry couldn’t be more right!

Just when you thought it was okay to breathe again. That a ridiculous virtual reality dog fighting game that could only do more harm than “raise awareness” to the issue (as its developers claim) was gone.

No, Kage Games has re-branded Dog Wars as “KG Dogfighting,” a name worst than the app’s original.

Colbie Caillat has collaborated with the Humane Society of the United States to educate her fans about the uncomfortable conditions dogs endure in puppy mills, encouraging her fans to rescue and adopt instead of buy.

Caillat has recorded radio announcements that will be played this week, which happens to be Puppy Mill Action Week. The timing of the annoucements was meant to correspond during Mother’s Day weekend to remind people female dogs in mills have some of the worst Mother’s Days in the world because they are forced to reside in cramped cages, suffering physical and pyschological abuse.

Water for Elephants is a film starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon about a young veterinary student named Jacob Jankowski who joins a traveling circus to care for the animals. Although he loves all the animals, there is one in particular, an elephant named Rosie, that attracts his attention the most.

“Elephants are the most sophisticated, gentle creatures you could possibly hope to work with,” Pattinson said.

Scenes in movie depict elephants covered in blood and suffering from bruises and injuries. But the American Humane Association had monitors on the set and have given the film their trademarked certification of “No Animals Were Harmed” in the making.

In what may be the most humorous ad released by the group yet, PETA is capitalizing on the controversy of whether or not Obama was born in the United States.

At Donald Trump‘s request, the President released his birth certificate, showing he was born in Hawaii.

PETA took the opportunity to remind people they don’t need papers to certify any dog’s birth and whether or not it’s a purebred or a mutt.

Whale Wars will begin its 4th season in the Southern Ocean on Friday, June 3rd at 9:00 p.m. on Animal Planet.

The series, which has been nominated and received several prestigious film awards, will show Captain Paul Watson and his crew fighting to protect whales in the waters by thwarting Japanese whalers. Season 4 will feature several new additions to the crew’s equipment, including a new vessel named Gojira, a helicopter, secret GPS devices and more.

It’s a risky job, but it’s one that has continuously caused a decline in the number of whales killed every year and caused whalers to completely abandon the hunt prematurely last year.

“In order to save the whales, people have to be willing to risk their lives,” Watson said. “We can’t stop whaling? That’s what they once said about slavery, but it was stopped. So yes, we can stop whaling.”

Below is a sneak peek from season 4.
