Bif Naked is supporting a bill introduced in Canada by Winnipeg MP Anita Neville that would ban the import of dog and cat fur into the country.

In an open letter on behalf of Fur-Bearer Defenders, Naked wrote, “I am concerned about the domestic cat and dog fur trade that is happening overseas, and I support legislation to ban the import and sale of these products. I am writing this letter to show my support for Bill-C439.”

Approximately 4,000 people have already signed a postcard campaign backing the bill. The problem may not be that so many Canadians support this fur trade, but that they’re unaware it’s happening.

Bif Naked will be one of the featured speakers at the Simply Raw Festival in Ottawa, Canada on June 19, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m at Central Park (at Bank Street and Clemow Avenue). Admission is free and there will be vegan, raw food exhibits and demonstrations.

Bif spoke with the Ottawa Citizen about her own raw vegan lifestyle, which currently doesn’t transfer to her husband she calls “the bacon boy,” or the formerly vegetarian dogs Bacon Boy corrupted.

“They were vegetarian dogs before I met Ian Walker,” Bif said. “When Ian Walker moved into my apartment my dogs started eating little pieces of butter chicken, much to my chagrin.”

Bif Naked has a new album out, The Promise, that was created during her fight with cancer and energy zapping chemotherapy.

So most people would think that a song from the album titled “Sick,” would detail Bif’s tumultuous battle with the disease.

Not entirely.

Bif, a raw vegan, is also an animal activist and used to song as a vehicle to express her disgust with some animal industries.

“Sick” is just another word to describe many of the injustices the weaker have to endure.

“‘Sick’ also addresses how I feel about the seal hunt and the puppy mills on Vancouver Island,” said Bif, according to straight.com.

“Obviously, docetaxel and carboplatin made me sick, but the premise of the song, for sure, is there’s just so many travesties and injustices that we have to outrun all the time.”

Bif got so sick during her treatment, she had to temporarily eat something not vegan-yam rolls-because they were the only things she could keep down.

Blah! Sounds horrible.

Happy return to vegan foods, Bif!

Bif Naked was the perfect picture of health.

A raw food vegan who worked out regularly and unlike some in the entertainment industry, shunned drugs and alcohol.

Her clean lifestyle didn’t stop cancer from creeping into her life. But that doesn’t mean she wasn’t doing something right or that she should let her health go to hell because of it.

“You know, I lived a pretty clean lifestyle — no booze and no meat and all that — and I still got breast cancer,” she said in an interview. “After that, I had girlfriends come up to me and say, ‘Wow, I’m having a f—ing drink.’ And I went, ‘Great, knock yourself out.’… I still eat exactly the way I did, and don’t drink. Something like this is not a reason to mistreat your body.”

Are you a vegan who has “cheated” before? Do you shove mom’s dairy cookies down your throat during the holidays, then eat Chciago Soy Dairy Ice Cream for the rest of the year?

Singer-songwriter Bif Naked has just admitted to giving in to some serious yam roll lovin’during her treatment for breast cancer.

It appears that beet juice got a little boring and she needed some spice in her life.

“I’m a raw food vegan — I’ve been doing that a long time — but one month all I wanted was yam rolls, and they’re definitely not raw. To this day, I can barely look at beets. I used to devour beet juice, and ate grated beets on salad every day, but now I can’t stand the smell.”

Hey, nobody said all vegans were perfect vegans. Now who wants to confess?
