Vegetarian Star

Brigitte Bardot, longtime vegetarian and animal activist and actress, is asking for U.S. President Barack Obama’s help in preventing the death of seals every season during Canada’s annual seal hunt.

Bardot said she has “immense hope” in Obama, “even if I know that he is in demand from all directions and he already has a lot to do in his own country.”

The timing of her letter writing coincided with Obama’s recent visit to Canada.

Several other celebrities have spoken in opposition to the hunt, such as Canadian natives Pamela Anderson and Bryan Adams, and most recently Nigel Barker documenting the lives of the animals before they are clubbed, in his film, A Sealed Fate.

Last year, the quota for clubbed seals was 275,000. After being killed, the seals are skinned for their pelts, which are later sold. 

The United States has banned all Canadian seal products since 1972 and the European Union is considering a similar ban.

We mentioned earlier that Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor said she couldn’t understand the point of the “sexiest vegetarian” lists that she constantly makes.

But news is news and the sexiest are here. Kareena won World’s Sexiest Vegetarian, along with her male counterpart Sreesanth in the annual contest held by PETA India.

Lots of people cared about R Madhavan, Aditi Gowitrikar, Vishal Dadlani, Kailash Kher, as well as Alicia Silverstone, Pamela Anderson, Hansika Motwani, Mallika Sherawat, Mahima Chaudhary, Rajneesh Duggal, Sir Paul McCartney and Moby.

But unfortunately for the runners up, people didn’t care enough to cast their votes for them.

“When you look at the dozens of gorgeous celebrities in this year’s poll, there are no bones about it – a vegetarian diet makes you beautiful inside and out”, says PETA India’s Anuradha Sawhney.

Congratulations to the sexiest. For whatever the list is worth.

When former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson was a young girl, she watched her father cut off the head of an animal he had hunted. That led to her becoming vegetarian in her early teens.

The old saying is that a woman wants a man just like dear ol’ dad, but apparently this can never be the case when it comes to beliefs about animals.

There was speculation that her and Kid Rock divorced over him having no problem hunting. We already know he has no problem with fur.

Neither Tommy Lee, nor Rick Salomon, nor Kid Rock have captured her heart permanently.

Pam was seen strutting around town with this unnamed gentleman recently. Could he be Pammie’s new compassionate love?

No, it’s not a Jack-In-The-Box, it’s Barack-In-The-Box, and he’s asking for our advice.

Or any vegetarian’s advice.

At a recent speech during a Town Hall meeting in Fort Meyers, Florida, The President said he was “open to any idea, whether it comes from a Democrat or a Republican or a vegetarian.”

Looks like we’re a party now. Yippee!

If you recall us telling you, Pamela Anderson gave her advice before he even asked for it, writing him a letter asking him to promote vegetarianism:

“Promote vegetarianism-which would help end world hunger- crack down on factory farming that is killing the environment and slaughtering so many animals- wastefully and carelessly and its unhealthy/and its just impractical- to think this is monitored/regulated effectively…”

She even sent him a book for Christmas.

Now PETA is throwing in their two cents, and have sent him a first class letter to 1600 Pennsylvania. Here’s an excerpt:

“As you know, vegetarian foods have no cholesterol and lots of fiber; meat, eggs, and dairy products contain a lot of cholesterol and have no fiber. No wonder that meateaters are nine times more likely to be obese than vegans are. The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada are among the many health organizations that are reporting that vegetarians have “lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease;… lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer.”

If you were the kind of child who always had to get the last word in the classroom, here’s your opportunity. What advice would you give Obama on running the nation, saving the healthcare system, and making Americans healthier?

And if you want to tell him the best way to make tofu, that’s perfectly alright.

Many animal rights activists are cheering now that an Indian Supreme Court has ruled not to kill the stray dogs in Mumbai, a case that received lots of attention in the media due to Pamela Anderson’s interventions.

She wrote a letter to officials asking that instead the dogs be sterilized, citing evidence that this was more effective.

“Dogs cannot use condoms, but with the municipality’s help, they can be ‘fixed’ — painlessly, quickly and permanently,” she said.

India’s Supreme Court ruled that a dog could only be put down if it were rabid, mortally wounded, or incurably ill.

“A dog cannot be exterminated because it barks,” senior lawyer Fali S. Nariman told the court.

A spokesperson for PETA, Anuradha Sawhney, said that Anderson going public with her opinions and giving the case so much attention may have affected the decision.

“It makes people realise that a lot of people do care about these animals,” she said.

“I think the main thing here is that we need to make people realise how important these dogs are and there’s really nothing demeaning in having a stray dog. They’re just another dog.”

Pamela Anderson is known to tell other countries what they should be doing with their sex lives, now she’s at it again, this time writing a letter to India’s financial capital, Mumbai, asking that stray dogs be sterilized rather than killed.

Mumbai’s high court has recommended the dogs be killed, saying they are a nuisance to the public.

Pammie says just put a doggie condom on it. A permanent one.

”Dogs cannot use condoms, but… they can be fixed painlessly, quickly and permanently,” she wrote in a letter to city authorities and cited studies conducted by the Animal Welfare Board of India and the World Health Organisation.

”It is well established that killing stray dogs is not a permanent solution to controlling their populations…mass sterilisation of stray animals is the most viable solution to nuisance and health concerns in addition to being more humane.”

The dogs are practically a city of their own-70,000 strays wandering the streets of Mumbai and some say they are attacking pedestrians and cyclists.

The solution to animal control is never easy and stories such as these are a constant reminder that Bob Barker couldn’t have said it enough when he advised people to spay and neuter their pets.

Baby Cakes, where actress Lake Bell stocked up on all her vegan desserts last Holiday season, has given several vegetarian and vegan celebrities a sweet tooth so big they’re willing to put a few kind words behind the cookbook that’s coming out in April.

After owner Erin McKenna was diagnosed with allergies to wheat and dairy, all she really wanted was a cupcake, but unfortunately, couldn’t find bakeries selling products that complied with her restrictions. So she opened her own.

Now she’s sharing her secret recipes for vegan, gluten-free, and some even sugar free cupcakes in her book BabyCakes: Vegan, Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York’s Most Talked-About Bakery, set to be released in April.

It’s already getting rave reviews and kudos from some great veg celebrities, including Pamela Anderson, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel.

“I have multiple food sensitivities…and I’d pretty much given up on the idea that I might be able to have a worthy treat every again. I was so excited to discover BabyCakes NYC, because not only can I eat everything they bake, it’s all delicious!”
—Zooey Deschanel

“At BabyCakes NYC I can eat what I crave without harming my lovely animal friends–or myself. Every since that first fateful day, I’ve been waiting for this cookbook.”
—Natalie Portman

“Thank all that is holy for BabyCakes NYC…”
—Pamela Anderson
