Vegetarian Star

Sarah McLachlan has written a letter to Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, asking that he help end the country’s annual seal hunt.

The problem with any industry that harms, be it animals, people or the earth, is that is also helping individuals feed, clothe and otherwise provide for themselves and their families, giving some the rationalization that it’s okay to continue.

But instead of berating the hunters for trying to earn a living, McLachlan calls on Harper to help create new economic opportunities that do not result in brutal killings.

Sarah McLachlan‘s founded Lilith Fair will be giving back to four selected businesses that have pledged to promote a more sustainable world through its products, through the fair’s i4c Campaign.

The i4c Campaign (acronym for “I foresee a better tomorrow”), was created to support a more ethical economy, and $1 from every ticket sold for the concerts will go to the campaign, which is supporting Alter Eco Fair Trade Foods, Better World Books, To-Go Ware, and Grameen America.

The American Society for the Prevention and Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has partnered with the music festival founded by animal activist and supporter of ASPCA, Sarah McLachlan.

The organization is giving away 30 pairs of tickets to the Lilith Fair to female activists who work to end animal cruelty and homelessness.

To enter, simply write in 300 words or less why you or someone you know deserves to win based on your or that person’s activist record.

The tour kicks off July 2nd, and winners will be notified throughout the summer at least 5 days prior to the concert date. A grand prize winner, who will receive a guitar signed by each Lilith Fair artist, will be announced at the end of the tour.

McLachlan recorded a PSA for the animal rights organization that has her hit song “Angel” playing in the background, which can be viewed above.

Saturday Night Live recently poked fun of Sarah McLachlan and the ASPCA commercials where her song “Angel” is the soundtrack behind some disturbing facts about animal cruelty.

“You agreed we weren’t going to talk about those creepy ASPCA commercials,” anchor Seth Meyers said.

The “Sarah” begins to sing Angel while pictures of dogs are shown in the background with facts like “this dog’s house is in foreclosure.”

It might be offensive, but hey, this clip is still giving the ASPCA publicity and that’s a great thing!

Sarah McLachlan was recently interviewed by Canada CTV news while she was scheduled to perform for the Canada Day festivities.

Sarah had a few choice words to say about the seal hunting industry.

“The commercial sealing industry in Canada is perverse and sick. … They club these seals as early as 12 days old, and half the time they hook them and they drag them across the ice. … It’s archaic, and it’s horrible, and I want it to stop.”

Fashion alert: Notice the baby seal on Sarah’s shirt. This woman knows how to make a statement.

When asked what she thought of Canada’s Governor General Michaelle Jean killing a seal and then eating its raw heart, she expressed interest in having a “talk” with her about it.

Like, fed to the tune of 100 pounds of mixed greens. Actually, Bryan will probably just have a nice helping of them that fills up a salad bowl or two, but hey, who’s to say he might not be really hungry on the evening of the Juno Awards banquet.

The Juno Awards highlight Canada’s best music performing artists. Besides the actual award ceremony taking place on March 29th, many “Juno” activities will be happening in the host city of Vancouver, including a dinner gala where hundreds of hungry musicians will meet up at Westin Bayshore Hotel for a dinner for the stars.

Celebs such as Sarah McLachlan, Nickelback, and vegan rocker Bryan Adams are expected  to be present. And it looks like Bryan will have a lot to chow down on.

“[In terms of] salad, we’ll probably go through almost 100 pounds of mixed greens,” said Executive Chef Kevin Doucette.

But that doesn’t mean Bryan will be munching like a rabbit for the big night, as they’ll be plenty of veg dishes to choose from.

Melanie Berry, president of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), which organizes the Junos, said, “There’s a fairly good number of vegetarians, too, so we want to sample those dishes because they are just so important.”

Not only that, Chef Doucette is thrilled to cook up meatless entrees. 

“Coming up with vegetarian dishes is more exciting than anything,” he said. “It’s not on the set menu. It has to be fresh. And it changes all the time.”
