Vegetarian Star

Jackson Galaxy, host of the Animal Planet series My Cat from Hell, married Minoo Rahbar in a ceremony at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.

The couple’s dog Mooshka served as the ring bearer at the nation’s largest no-kill shelter located in Kanab, Utah.

If you love working with animals, a sanctuary for rescued ones just might be the ideal spot for a wedding.

Just hope if there are any 4-legged guests present, they’re a little more welcoming than the combative cats you meet on a regular basis.

Vegetarian race car driver and environmental activist Leilani Munter is headed to Japan to join Ric O’Barry in the fight against the dolphin slaughter in Taiji.

Despite The Cove‘s success in educating the public about the slaughter and the film eventually making its way into Japanese theatres after protests and cancellations, Taiji mayor Kazutaka Sangen has made it quite clear he’s not going to let a few people concerned for animals and the humans who will eventually eat the mercury filled meat get in the way of a bloody tradition.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Sangen said, “We will pass down the history of our ancestors to the next generation, preserve it. We have a strong sense of pride about this. So we are not going to change our plans for the town based on the criticism of foreigners.”

Whale Wars Season 3 Promo Poster

Animal Planet has released the Whale Wars season 3 promotional poster featuring Australian director of Sea Shepherd, Jeff Hansen, who Ecorazzi thinks is a look alike for Pete Bethune.

Bethune was not available to pose for the poster though, as he is being held in Japan on charges of “trespassing, causing injuries, obstructing commercial activities, vandalism and carrying a weapon.”

Bethune was taken into custody after boarding ship Shonan Maru 2 in an attempt to make a citizen’s arrest of its captain.
