Quantcast Vegetarian StarSelfridges

Mary McCartney has designed 100% organic cotton t-shirts for the Danish children’s label Mini A Ture. The two shirts will benefit Sunway Children’s Home, an orphanage in India, which Mini A. Ture has supported since 2005.

The shirts are available at the Selfridges store in London, and can also be ordered online.

Choosing organic cotton to design the clothing aligns well with the McCartney family’s ideals to preserve the environment. It’s estimated that cotton crops use about a quarter of all agricultural insecticides applied globally each year and according to the EPA, 7 of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton crops are either known or potential human carcinogens.

Some seriously hot chicks once agreed to pose with Tamara Ecclestone for PETA’s campaign to end foie gras production  in The Naked Truth: Foie Gras Is A Recipe For Torture.

A huge victory for geese occurred recently when Selfridges dropped foie gras from its shelves.

But the practice of force feeding the birds until their livers swell up to 10 times the natural size to produce the delicacy unfortunately hasn’t been dropped from other supermarkets and restaurants.

Tamara has taken her clothes off in the name of animals for other campaigns, posing for an anti-fur campaign, wearing nothing but a checkered flag, referencing her father Bernie Ecclestone‘s Formula 1 Racing Company.

Selfridges Drops Foie Gras From Shelves–Geese Dance Everywhere

Foie Gras Peta Protest - London

After two years of targeted campaign efforts by animal rights groups, Selfridges–one of the biggest supermarket chains in the UK–has agreed to take foie gras off its shelves.

Yay! Yay and triple yay!

Foie gras is produced when geese are force fed so much their livers swell, resulting in severe pain and discomfort.

Sir Roger Moore has been a major voice in the campaign to end foie gras, and even agreed to buy the entire stock on the shelves if Selfridges discontinued the product.

No word if 007 is writing a big check to Selfridges, but we’re thinking the store just came to its senses.

After all, it doesn’t take a secret agent to know the only creatures that should be “stuffed” are the humans who voluntarily do so during the holidays.

According to Nicola McLean, ducks and geese are celebrities: get them outta there!

Out of the conditions where they are force fed an excessive amount of food, causing their livers to swell and producing what is known as foie gras.

The model and star of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, showed off her yellow bikini in front of Selfridges in the UK to wish the store an “Unhappy birthday” because it continues to sell foie gras.

Check out the hot pics of Nicola and other models surrounding the birthday cake at the UK Peta blog.
