Comments Off on “Delhi Safari” Gives Great Animal Rights Lesson (Video)

Delhi Safari may be a great way to teach children the valuable lesson of protecting the environment and animals’ habitats.

Featuring a cute-talking leopard cub and his mother, a bear, a parrot and a monkey, Delhi Safari tells the story of how a few animals living in one forest community stand up for themselves while being threatened by what they question may be the most dangerous animal on earth–man.

Watch the trailer to the film above and check out local listings where it may be playing in a select theatre near you.

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–Steve-O Has Animal Rights On His Heart

Steve-O

“I love to encourage people to rescue animals. All things animal rights is really where my heart is. I’ve been a passionate vegan for three years. Anything from animal out of my diet. Same thing goes with my clothes and everything else. I really got into it because I love animals, and then it turned out it’s actually the healthiest for us, too.”

—Steve-O, who’s still making people laugh with his stand-up comedy shows that don’t involve using animals as props.

Leona Lewis

“It can be disheartening because I’ll be asked to do campaigns a lot. I’m so passionate that I’ll put everything into it. You see other campaigns where celebrities jump on board but animal rights issues is something where people feel they can’t really tread. It’s not even about being a vegetarian. It’s about having a bit of empathy for what these animals are going through. I do think celebrities could do more.”

—Leona Lewis on her animal rights work. Lewis has volunteered her time, face and name to animal advocacy organizations such  as the World Society for the Protection of Animals, Cleveland Armory Black Beauty Ranch and Humane Society International.

Meatless Mouthful–Morrissey Says Learn From Animals

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 23rd, 2012 in Animal Issues, Male Singers, Meatless Mouthful.

Morrissey

“I think we have so much to learn from the animal kingdom. Instead, they are shot and gassed and farmed and eaten, and only humans do this to them! Animals don’t start wars or destroy the planet or create cancers or pollute or over-populate. Humans, by comparison, are a mess. You can also tell so much about a person by their treatment of animals. A woman in a fur-coat might as well carry a sign saying ‘I am an idiot.’ How women — and it’s usually women — can wear fur, whilst knowing how it’s manufactured, is absolutely bewildering to me. The human race is rarely humane.”

—Morrissey, during an interview discussing his views on vegetarianism and animal rights. The former member of The Smiths who sang “Meat Is Murder” has been vegetarian since age 11.

Hugh Hefner’s Fiance Crystal Harris Is Animal Rights Activist

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, January 5th, 2011 in Animal Issues, Models.

2 Comments

Crystal Harris (on the left next to Hef) is Hugh Hefner‘s latest fiance. According to online sources, Harris is an animal rights activist, owns a dog and has two freshwater fish tanks in her bedroom.

And that’s about all we want to know about what’s going on in her bedroom.

What we would like more of, however, is information on how this former San Diego State University Psychology major is reaching out to the public on behalf of animals. Does she volunteer at a shelter? Regularly write to her congressmen about pending animal rights laws? Details, details, details!

She obviously isn’t uncomfortable with using sex to sell, so maybe PETA will get her in lettuce leaves ASAP and she’ll go vegetarian (if she already hasn’t) as well.
