Vegetarian Star

Martin Shaw, who plays Judge John Deed on the British television show with the same title, has signed a petition to save the St. Ann’s Well Cafe in Malvern Hills.

According to the BBC News, the Malvern Hill Conservators want to evict the manager, and another source says the place will be turned into a tourist information center.

The manager of St. Ann’s said of Shaw, “He said he’d found it a tranquil place and was lovely for him to get to when he is at the town theatre.”

More than 6,000 people have signed a Facebook petition asking the cafe to remain open.

When you live in an area where there aren’t too many vegetarian restaurants to begin with, it’s always pains to see a good place close.

British actress Jenny Seagrove, best know for her roles in Local Hero and Judge John Deed, has condemned a plan to kill about 60 wallabies on a Scottish island and has joined forces with animal rights campaigners to save them.

The Wallabies were introduced to the island in Lock Lomond decades ago by Fiona Bryde Colquhoun, or Lady Arran.

Officials have blamed the animals for destroying native plant species on Inchconnachan, which is nicknamed “Wallaby Island,” by locals.

“It is morally indefensible to kill the wallabies of Loch Lomond,” Seagrove said.

“This is a man-made problem and the island’s managers must take responsibility to re-home these innocent animals or to manage their numbers in non-lethal ways.”

“Taking the so-called easy way out by slaughtering the wallabies is sickening and plain wrong.”

Seagrove is a patron of the vegetarian society Viva!

A spokesperson for Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park made this statement:

“As a national park, our role is to promote, conserve and enhance Scotland’s native species for the future and we are supporting Luss Estates in producing a conservation management plan for Luss Islands that will look closely at how best to manage conservation of wildlife and habitats, including the wallabies.”

No decision has been made yet on the future of the wallabies.

When Will Smith’s Seven Pounds came out, there was a lot of talk about the vegan themes present throughout the movie, leading you to believe someone involved with the production was a vegetarian or vegan.

There’s no guessing vegetarians were at the center of one British drama that aired for almost a decade. Judge John Deed was the longest running BBC legal drama, debuting in 2001 and concluding in 2007, when actor Martin Shaw became involved with another television program.

“Judge John Deed” is a vegetarian, played by a vegetarian-Martin Shaw. The show was written by G.F. Newman, a vegan writer and producer who also had a hand in the Law and Order Dramas.

Newman, like Shaw, has been outspoken about his beliefs and insists that no meat is eaten on the sets when he is producing or directing shows.
