Sean Kingston has donated his face and time to a PETA campaign against chaining dogs.

The tagline, “Chill With Your Dogs, Never Chain Them,” may be catchy, but Sean is hoping the message behind the phrase will stick too.

“Look at it like being a human person. You’re family member is outside with no room to scoot, without a place to stay … that’s how they should look at it,” he says. “A lot of people should just think about: if that was them.”

Sean likes to chill with his dog Sunshine.

According to PETA, chained dogs are more likely to suffer illnesses from being exposed to harsh weather conditions and become vicious after constant confinement.

Watch the video for more on what Sean has to say about caring for dogs.

Morrissey Meaty Thanksgiving Email Upsets The Moz

Los Premios MTV 2009 - Show

Someone might have gotten themselves canned.

It’s no secret Morrissey has threatened to fire employees who eat meat on the job.

And when a Thanksgiving message from his employees to fans mentioned eating turkey, he had to have hit the roof.

To rub more salt in the wound, a post Thanksgiving memo was sent from an online store that sold Morrissey items stating, “Thanksgiving is over, so put down those turkey legs!”

Like, those legs should have never been picked up to begin with.

The store issued an apology stating, “Webstore wishes to apologise to Morrissey mailing list members who may have seen the mass email advertisement that was sent out after Thanksgiving which mentioned eating turkey. Morrissey is a strict vegetarian and abhors the killing of defence-less animals.”

Kevin Jonas Danielle Deleasa Wedding Had Vegetarian Buffet

One purity ring down, two more to go.

Kevin Jonas married his sweetheart Danielle Deleasa this weekend in New York’s Long Island.

Normally, the eldest of the trio and his crew would be reason to delete a news source, but there is evidence that someone in the extended family may have a proclivity to order a veggie burger at the venue when the boys perform.

The chef who prepared food for the couple hinted to E! News that this weekend, the herbivores were Burning Up with love for the reception menu.

“We’re having vegetarian options in addition to the main course,” he said before the occasion. “There will be stir-fried Asian vegetables, Italian rice, risotto, pasta and a full vegetarian station.”

Did Kevin marry a card carrying granola bar eater?

Paul McCartney gives a press conference at the European Parliament - Brussels

Vegetarians may be excited about Paul McCartneys Meat-Free Monday initiative, but not everyone is welcoming the singer’s push to save the planet through less meat.

During a debate at the recent European Union Parliament, McCartney went head to head with MEP Mairead McGuinness.

And although McGuinness never threatened to shock her children like Gordon Ramsay did, she made it clear she doesn’t think a veggie burger a day keeps the emissions away.

“Getting rid of livestock from the planet as a solution to climate change is too far-fetched and unrealistic a proposition to be credible,” McGuinness said.

“Research shows that a change in European diets with considerably less dairy and meat products would have only a marginal impact on the environment,” she added.

Okay. But the meat industry does produce more emissions than all forms of transportation combined.

“Lastly, those of us who enjoy a roast on Sunday and who hope to continue to do so, would never even consider a meat free Monday.”

Ah, might as well skip the roast the next day.

Leftovers are never as good as hot from the oven anyway.

Paul McCartney has narrated a video for PETA which documents the conditions factory farmed animals endure.

And unlike most PETA ads, he does all this while keeping his clothes on.

“I’ve often said that if slaughterhouses had glass walls, we’d all be vegetarians. Animals raised on modern factory farms and killed in slaughterhouses endure almost unimaginable suffering,” McCartney says.

“I hope that once you see the routine cruelty involved in raising, transporting and killing animals for food, you’ll join the millions of people who have decided to leave meat off their plates for good.”

Paul covers animals crammed in cages on farms, pathogens found in meat products, the risk of diseases like Mad Cow and the impact meat production has on the environment.

Staind singer Aaron Lewis is becoming a locavore.

But don’t get too excited, because the only local food he’s harvesting requires gutting and draining of blood.

Lewis said after watching the documentary Food Inc., he’s come to appreciate the value of harvesting his own food.

“I have never killed anything that I did not eat,” Lewis said. “Even when I was a kid with a BB gun, being all irresponsible and shooting squirrels and robins, my dad made me eat it all. I’ve always believed if you kill something, you have to eat it, so you better make sure it tastes good. I hunt white-tailed deer. That is my favorite. I have also hunted turkeys and have done upland bird hunting, too, like pheasants and quail.”

Now, Lewis wants to showcase his, ahem, talents on television by participating in The Outdoor Channel‘s reality TV hunting show, Dream Celebrity Season.

The program will pair celebrities with everyday hunters and compete against each other as teams.

Perhaps they will also choose team names like “Cruel and Crueler” or “Cheney and His Next Victim.”

Lewis went so far as to say “Bring It On” when questioned about possible negative reactions from anti-hunting and animal rights groups.

Hope Lewis never says that to any of those Missouri deers that sometimes fight back.

Of course, vegetarians motivated by environmental reasons would argue that killing your own food doesn’t damage the planet like factory farmed meat.

Are you a veg that wouldn’t mind eating animals killed in the wild quickly, painlessly and that didn’t go to waste?

Paul McCartney Agrees–London Best Vegetarian City In World

London was recently named the best city in the world to eat vegetarian by PETA, and musician and singer Paul McCartney couldn’t agree more.

”After 40 years of touring as a vegetarian, I’m proud to say that when it comes to eating, there’s no place like home.,” McCartney said, according to The Telegraph.

McCartney has also recently narrated a documentary on slaughterhouses and the effects of the meat industry on the environment for the animal rights group.

Restaurants and other food establishments in the city offer a plethora of meat-free options, even going so far as to put a “V” beside menu items, noting if the dish is vegan or not.

London mayor Boris Johnson said the city has a “history of vegetarianism” and mentioned that it was great to be the “best city on earth to enjoy meat-free nosh.”

”We are helping to cultivate a taste for all things veggie by supporting green-fingered efforts by all Londoners to grow their own fresh fruit and veg,” Johnson said.

Meat-free on every corner?

A movement to grow your own produce?

Paul McCartney gives a press conference at the European Parliament - Brussels

“This isn’t just me, a vegetarian, banging on: it was a United Nations report … that got me interested. There’s a need to do something: the livestock industry produces more greenhouse gases than all forms of transport put together. People are confused about what they can do — they can try one meat-free day a week. It’s kind of interesting once you get into it.”

—-Paul McCartney, addressing a crowd at the European Parliament last week in Brussels, Belgium, promoting his Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Getting into going meat-free may be an occasional treat to start.

But who knows?

After awhile, you may find it so hot, you’ll wanna do the veg thing every day.
