Vegetarian Star

“It’s the saddest thing to know that rabbits can’t cry, which is one of the reasons these gentle creatures are used in painful eye tests for cosmetics. When I think of their unnecessary suffering I could certainly shed a tear, so I’m backing the Be Cruelty-Free campaign to see an end to animal testing in North America and globally. Show the bunnies some love and let’s end cosmetics cruelty.”

—Owain Yeoman, for the Be Cruelty-Free Campaign with the Humane Society of the United States. Yeoman and singer Leona Lewis both issued statements on ending animal testing in cosmetics in honor of International Rabbit Day.

Owain Yeoman is not just a pretty face who plays a crime investigator on television. The Mentalist actor knows when something smells fowl in real life too.

Like when geese are forced to eat to the point of discomfort and physical trauma for someone’s plate of foie gras.

Yeoman recently protested a popular British store’s decision to keep foie gras on the shelves, even though many food stores in the country like Selfridges have banned it.

“How many people have hybrids in this town, how many people recycle? Being vegetarian is so much more eco-conscious. And it’s lovely to know that when you are eating it’s ethical and nothing had to die. I’d have a veggie burger even when I was eating meat.”

—Owain Yeoman, star on The Mentalist, at Peta’s 30th anniversary gala. Although he said a raw food experiment “didn’t sit well,” with him, Yeoman’s been a vegetarian for 2 years and a vegan for 6 month, making him super green and eco-conscious.

Amar'e Stoudemire

Ladies, you know by now that the PETA naked people ads don’t appeal to you nearly as much to men.

But progress is in the works.

Dennis Rodman showed his buns against fur, Owain Yeoman bared his pecs and now NBA basketball player Amar’e Stoudemire is showing off his chiseled body of  tattoos.

“I love animals, and I wouldn’t want to see anything cruel … happen to any animals just for a fashion,” Stoudemire said.

Which is why he’s asking you to get inked instead of buying mink, fox, rabbit and any other animal for a coat.

Sigh…soon women will ask Amar’e for favors as well.

What’s the most ridiculous thing an omnivore ever asked you? Was it the “do you eat chicken?” question?

Philstar.com has compiled some information on several vegetarian celebrities, including why they went veg, favorite restaurants, frustrating moments as a vegetarian, etc.

Owain Yeoman, Geneva Cruz, Yasmien Kurdi, and Pamela Anderson are all profiled.

Here are a few highlights from the “Funniest Thing Ever Said To Me By Meat Eaters” question:

Owain Yeoman
“Someone once asked me if I wasn’t concerned that vegetarianism will “stunt my growth” and at 6’4” and 190 pounds, the last thing I am worried about is my growth being stunted!”

Pamela Anderson
“It’s pretty funny when a meat eater tells me that he or she is an environmentalist. The meat trade is the number one cause of global warming!”

Geneva Cruz
““WHY?!!!!” My answer is “Why not?!!” There.”

Yasmien Kurdi
“I can’t think of anything specific, but what I’ve told meat eaters is if they want to contract swine flu, bird flu, and all those other animal-borne diseases — or if they want to die an early death — then they should eat meat! Hahaha! I know it’s a bit harsh, but I like to be direct when talking about animal issues and I think this makes meat eaters seriously rethink their diet … though outwardly we laugh about it.”
