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.”

Gabe Saporta and Travis McCoy were two winners of PETA’s Libby awards this year.

Both veggie men love all things hip hop and take a stand against fur.

Of course, Travis might opt for vegan buffalo wings instead of burgers…

Gabe Saporta hasn’t been able to show his mom he’s the sexiest vegetarian yet, but he takes home the trophy for Favorite Animal Friendly Celebrity in PETA’s Libby awards.

Besides starring in an anti-fur ad, he lent his face to the “Animal Testing Breaks Hearts” campaign for PETA2.

Gabe is a member of Cobra Starship, which won a Libby award for Best Animal Friendly Band.

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.

Brendan Benson of The Raconteurs says a vegetarian in his band won’t last very long.

According to Hitfix, when asked what the key to surviving on the road and not killing bandmates was, Benson answered, “I think there’s a combination of things. Humor would be key. If everyone has relatively the same sense of humor, then that helps. And things in common, like food, eating. If there’s one person who’s vegan, say, then that person might be alienated in my band (laughs)… Last night we went to this vegan restaurant because someone said it was great. It was okay, I think some of us would have preferred a steak.”

That’s quite contrast to some other bands, like Death Cab For Cutie, who, although only 2 members are vegetarian, all 4 eat veg on the road to make it easier on the herbivores.

Woohoo!

By way of Ecorazzi, The Veg Star has learned that the long awaited column on vegetarianism by Paul McCartney has finally been published on Gwyneth Paltrow‘s website, Goop.com.

Paul discusses the benefits of being vegetarian and how a plant based diet is less taxing on the environment.

And Gwyneth finally comes clean about those “mostly vegetarian” but liking turkey rumors.

“I am not a vegetarian, but when I heard about “Meat Free Monday,” I was intrigued. I had never thought about the environmental impact of raising livestock.”

Paul gives several points of discussion from the 2006 United Nations Report:

“Livestock production is the largest source of water pollutants, principally animal wastes, antibiotics, hormones, chemicals from tanneries, fertilizers and pesticides used for feed crops, and sediments from eroded pastures.”

“The meat industry is set to double its production by 2050 so even if they manage to lower emissions by 50%, as they have promised to, we will still be in the same position.”

“A third of all cereal crops, and well over 90% of soya, goes into animal feed, not food for humans. Eating less meat will free up a lot of agricultural land which can revert to growing trees and other vegetation, which, in turn, will absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.”

Banned In Hollywood has compiled its list of 6 celebrities who pose to save the environment.

Pose could mean they’re serious about their recycling and eating less meat or that they’re just looking for a Sigg ad to complete their resume.

But when it comes to vegetarian celebrities like Paul McCartney and singer Pink, you know they’re serious about promoting their beliefs.

Paul McCartney launched his meat-free Monday campaign in hopes of having everyone skip beef, pork and poultry for just one day a week.

And singer Pink puts compassion behind her argument against the environmentally unfriendly fur industry, never hesitating to trash another celebrity for being cruel enough to purchase animal hide.
