Vegetarian Star

Really, some people should be required to take puppy parenting classes when adopting.

British reality star Kerry Katona took her brown puppy dog back to the shop because she reportedly didn’t like the color of its fur, according to Now magazine.

Katona traded it for a black and white version of the same breed.

But wait, Katona’s had puppy commitments in the past.

During her MTV reality TV show What’s the Problem, Kerry also evicted her bulldog because it relieved itself on the floor.

Dogs require patience, persistence, and most importantly research prior to getting one to determine if its personality will click with your lifestyle.

Don’t get us started on that chihuahua fad that most likely sent hundred of dogs back to the shelter or worse, kennel, when unsuspecting owners weren’t as thrilled when their dog didn’t appear as cute because it never asked for Mexican in Spanish.

As you know by now, Michael Vick and the Humane Society of the United States have teamed up, for better or worse.

Vick has been making public appearances, talking about the cruel decisions he made to partake in dog fighting and trying to convince teens and youth not to follow the same path.

“At some point, I got sidetracked,” Vick said. “I started listening to my friends and doing some things that were not ethical and not right.”

Vick, who spent 18 months in federal prison for his involvement with dog fighting encourages these high school students to speak up if they know animal cruelty is taking place.

Watch the clip above to hear Vick speak to teens at Nueva Esperanza Academy in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“I’ve always been anti-fur – I love my pets…and I could never see them being worn. It’s a very human time right now, and what’s the sense in more carnage? There are other things in life to celebrate and design doesn’t have to be draped with dead animals.”

Victoria recently partnered with the Humane Society of the United States to distribute anti-fur literature and buttons at her Spring/Summer 2010 runway show this past weekend as part of New York Fashion Week.

Politico.com has created a list of Washington, D.C.’s most eligible singles and Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States made the cut.

Hot and an animal activist? Meow!

“Any man that can tame “reformed” dog-abuser Michael Vick must be manly, right? As head of the Humane Society of the United States, he has proven to have a huge heart thanks to his work on behalf of animals. That he has Kennedy-esque looks to go along with his animal advocacy makes many purr even more.”

If you’re the stalker type admirer, you can follow Wayne’s blog at hsus.typepad.com/wayne and find out  his whereabouts-which consists of activism all over the country from reaching out to communities to end dogfighting to pushing for legislation on Capitol Hill to hosting fund raising events for the HSUS.

No, we don’t have his number.

You’ll have to get involved in animal rights, attend a HSUS event and ask him yourself.

When Michael Vick expressed interest in working with the Humane Society for anti-dogfighting education programs, he had his share of skeptics.

And while it’s still unsure of whether or not he’s actually contrite or pulling a publicity stunt, at least he’s following through on his word.

According to TMZ, Vick was spotted giving an anti-dogfighting lecture in the Englewood section of Chicago, Illinois yesterday, as part of community based End Dogfighting outreach programs sponsored by the HSUS.

According to a recent blog entry by HSUS CEO and president Wayne Pacelle, the programs were built around the concept that ex offenders may have a powerful role in preventing the behavior.

“We took note of the anti-gang and anti-violence programs done by others in urban communities, and re-engineered these programs to combat dogfighting. These programs are built around the leadership of ex-dogfighters who have turned around their lives and who are now engaging kids in more positive interactions with pit bulls.”

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin took a stand for animals during the Humane Society’s Taking Action For Animals rally on Capitol Hill yesterday.

“As long as we keep sharing there will be a mass domino effect. And only good can come of that,” Goodwin said, praising the Humane Society of the United States’ efforts for better animal protection laws.

Ginnifer was one of several celebrities to take part in the HSUS TAFA event.
