Another pop star has decided he’s not into Canada’s club scene.

Wayne Pacelle Proposes Humane Economy For Animals

Comments Off on Wayne Pacelle Proposes Humane Economy For Animals

Every year, businesses that use animals for entertainment or fashion like zoos, circuses and retail make millions of dollars. Many of these industries have histories of keeping these animals in less than ideal conditions, resulting in injuries, premature deaths and numerous safety issues for both animals and humans.

What if, instead of these businesses making money treating animals inhumanely, they generated ideas to attract people to pay money for animal causes that made a difference? That contributed to the conservation of species, ending the cases of abused animals and resulted in an educational setting that was both beneficial to humans and animals?

Comments Off on Leona Lewis, Ricky Gervais, Melanie C Get Tattoos To End Animal Tested Cosmetics Sales

Several celebrities have inked themselves in temporary color to support a campaign of the Humane Society International to end the sale of animal-tested cosmetics in the UK by 2013.

“It’s upsetting to think that right now thousands of animals are enduring painful tests for cosmetics that could end up being sold on EU shop shelves,” said Leona Lewis. “So I’m sending a plea to EU politicians to have a heart for animals by keeping their promise to ban the sale of animal-tested cosmetics in 2013. If companies can’t sell their products, they’ll stop animal testing, and we’ll be one stop closer to the whole world being cruelty-free.”

“Seal hunting is one of the most atrocious and inhumane acts against animals allowed by any government. Canada is allowing the slaughter of a record number of seals in their 2011 hunting season, which is going on right now. The seals are often younger than 3 months old. This has to stop. To my friends and fans in Canada: please help put a stop to this.”

—Ellen DeGeneres, on a post to her show’s website, calling for fans to donate to help end the seal hunt. This year, the Canadian government has set a quota for 468,200 seals that can be killed.
