“As a New Jersey native I was delighted to learn from my friends at The Humane Society of the United States that our state could be the first in the country to enact a ban on the importation and sale of ivory – a product of horrific cruelty to elephants and rhinos, who could very well become extinct within decades if we don’t act now. Governor, you have my full support and I hope you usher this critical bill through without delay.”

—Meryl Streep, in a statement addressed to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, urging him to sign bill S.2012/A.3128 into law, prohibiting the sale and trade of elephant ivory and rhino horns in the state.

Martha Stewart is giving the thumbs up to a New Jersey statute that would prohibit the use of gestation crates for pigs.

The celebrity chef, cookbook author and television host wrote to the members of the New Jersey legislature asking them to override a veto made by the state’s governor and make like easier for animals on farms in the state she is from.

“As a native New Jerseyan, I’ve always been proud of our state for its pro-animal positions, whether it be relating to the protection of dogs, cats, horses or other animals,” Martha wrote.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie announced he’s undergone lap band surgery to lose weight.

The Reverend Al Sharpton chatted with TMZ on Christie’s life changing health decision, giving his thoughts on losing weight through surgical procedures vs. diet and lifestyle changes.

Sharpton himself lost over 100 pounds changing his diet, and is now a vegan.

He said that although he supports losing weight in a more natural way, Christie’s decision to drop pounds through another medical intervention is still an important move.

But if he ever needs advice on eating a tofu steak instead of a lean burger, Sharpton said he can be Christie’s “maintenance man.”

People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)  is chasing the pleasantly plump again, this time switching their target from women to politicians.

Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey, is the latest notable urged to go veg in hopes he will lose a few pounds that were sometimes in as much debate as his policies during the election.

Christie has been urged to go vegan for 30 days.

“The best thing that governor elect Christie can do to help himself, the environment, and animals on factory farms — and the best way for him to serve as an example to all New Jersey residents — is to go vegan, at least for 30 days,” PETA executive vice president Tracy Reiman said.

Going veg can be great for Christie, the animals and the environment, and we’re glad PETA chose to tastefully request the governor reconsider his dietary habits without making him the subject of ridicule.

With so much health related legislation (health care, school nutrition) being revamped, there’s no better time than ever for Christie to show his constituents how serious he is about making the Garden State the fittest in the 50.
