The American Society for the Prevention and Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has partnered with the music festival founded by animal activist and supporter of ASPCA, Sarah McLachlan.

The organization is giving away 30 pairs of tickets to the Lilith Fair to female activists who work to end animal cruelty and homelessness.

To enter, simply write in 300 words or less why you or someone you know deserves to win based on your or that person’s activist record.

The tour kicks off July 2nd, and winners will be notified throughout the summer at least 5 days prior to the concert date. A grand prize winner, who will receive a guitar signed by each Lilith Fair artist, will be announced at the end of the tour.

McLachlan recorded a PSA for the animal rights organization that has her hit song “Angel” playing in the background, which can be viewed above.

Kelis doesn’t win any popularity points among vegetarians and animal activists for a whole bunch of reasons, specifically, having no problems wearing fur on her head. But it’s interesting to know that this PETA hater who calls herself “the biggest carnivore” grew up with a father who preferred tofu to tilapia.

“I guess he wanted me to be too,” Kelis says in The Guardian about her strict vegetarian father, “but my grandmother gave me a chicken doner and it was all over – I became a meat-eater, full-on. Zero guilt. My last supper would be a charcuterie smorgasbord with every kind of meat, and sauces to dip them in. When I get through this album’s cycle I want to develop a Kelis sauce range. I’m a saucy saucier.”

Carrie Underwood was spotted in a Los Angeles airport with her dog Ace, who she transported in a Sherpa’s Pet Trading Company Original Tote Around Town carrier.

The Tote Around Town is lined with a faux lambskin cushion so pets like Ace can stay comfortable without rubbing on another animal’s hide.

Sherpa’s carriers are airline approved for both dogs and cats of various sizes, many of which have the same removable, washable faux lambskin cushion.

More information about the totes can be found at Sherpa’s, and they are available online at places like Republic of Paws.

Joan Jett‘s real last name is Larkin and there are a lot of Duffys in her family, according to a recent article in the Irish Times.

Yep, you can go ahead and kiss her!

It’s a good assumption that Joan doesn’t partake in the traditional Irish meals of stew made from lamb or mutton, bacon and cabbage, and coddle (pork sausages and rashers).

If you’re kissable like Joan, or at least thinking of visiting the country, Irish Vegetarian, is a must stop for ideas for restaurants, health food stores and lodging. It also includes recipes.

Don’t forget you can veggie most Irish meals at home with faux meats, like the “Beef” and Guinness Stew made with seitan. There are also several already vegetarian Irish dishes that often contain cabbage and potatoes as a main ingredient.

Bif spoke with the Ottawa Citizen about her own raw vegan lifestyle, which currently doesn’t transfer to her husband she calls “the bacon boy,” or the formerly vegetarian dogs Bacon Boy corrupted.

“They were vegetarian dogs before I met Ian Walker,” Bif said. “When Ian Walker moved into my apartment my dogs started eating little pieces of butter chicken, much to my chagrin.”
