Joaquin Phoenix is the unfortunate star in a new ad from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals that highlights the suffering and struggle fish endure.

“My family and I were on a boat, catching fish,” Phoenix said of a fishing experience he had as a child.

“As one fish was caught, he was writhing, then he was thrown against the side of the boat. You couldn’t disguise what it was. This was what we did to animals to eat them. The animal went from a living, vibrant creature fighting for life to a violent death. I recognized it, as did my brothers and sisters.”

Isabel Lucas may have two men to thank for her going vegetarian.

The actress stopped eating meat after watching Earthlings, a documentary narrated by Joaquin Phoenix at Red Hot Chili Peppers front man Anthony Kiedis‘ home.

“I don’t feel limited by not eating meat. I eat lots of veggies and pasta and nuts, tofu and soups,” she was quoted by Popsugar as saying.

Being the environmentalist she is (she climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise awareness of the lack of clean drinking water in many areas), it’s no surprise Isabel would take the natural step by not participating in something that largely involves the very earth unfriendly practice of factory farming.

“Looking after the environment and doing things in nature was really an integral part of my life growing up. I love the environment and I want to be able to protect it.”

Joaquin Phoenix is back!

After a brief stint as a Rastafarian looking rapper with average rhyming ability, Phoenix has cut his hair, shaved and possibly showered to show his pretty face in a new video for PETA on the use of animal hides in the fashion industry.

“Exotic animals are mostly unknown to us, and so is what they suffer before being turned into belts and bags,” Joaquin says in the video. “Every year millions of reptiles are slaughtered so handbags, belts and shoes can be made from their skin. The animals’ welfare is not a consideration to those who hunt, skin and farm them.”

According to SF Gate, the video will be sent to celebrities who are known for using clothing and accessories made from lizards, snakes and alligators.

Persia White co-produced the Joaquin Phoenix narrated Earthlings, a film about the use of animals by humans for food, fashion and entertainment.

Seems natural for a vegetarian gal like Persia to have such passion for a project, and Persia explained to Beauty Interviews how she joined forces with director Shaun Monson and Phoenix help create an award winning film.

“I met Shaun Monson the director and he was trying to put together Earthlings as project of passion. I was already involved in animal welfare. Getting involved in Earthlings was pretty intense because there were still a lot of things I didn’t know. To raise compassion and awareness is so necessary. The documentary is not just about animals it’s about how we treat each other as well. How we have empathy for the weak and we don’t abuse it. It exposes the truth. It is a very difficult film to get into mainstream because there are so many corporations that will hurt if their secrets revealed.”

“It was very difficult. Joaquin Phoenix is a wonderful actor, and like myself, a vegan. However, Joaquin is booked and away so much. He’s schedule was intense. But we did it. The music was donated by Moby.”

Thank goodness Moby‘s music was used versus Phoenix’s rap tracks.
