“As an expectant mother, I was particularly heartbroken to see photos of ailing mother rats with open wounds on their bodies who stood guard protectively over their dead or dying babies in the filthy plastic tubs that they were confined to without access to adequate food, water, or even moderately fresh air to breathe… Justice must be served for the unspeakable suffering endured by countless animals at GCB.”

—Jenna Dewan Tatum, on the results investigators uncovered about abuse of reptiles and rats at Global Captive Breeders LLC (GCB). Thousands have signed the petition urging Riverside County, California, District Attorney Paul Zellerbach to file felony cruelty charges against those responsible at the pet store.

“I still have plenty of vices, but alcohol isn’t one of them. It’s probably just down to sleep and diet. If you travel long haul a lot or don’t sleep much, it’s not going to last very long, that’s for sure. I’m pretty healthy so I think that helps a lot. I’ve been that way for a long time – 20 solid years of eating vegetarian/vegan and taking care of myself. That probably helps the preservation process.”

—Jared Leto, in an interview with UK GQ, on how he keeps his youthful figure, which was temporarily disrupted for the filming of Chapter 27 where he played John Lennon’s killer, Mark Chapman.
