Comments Off on Michael Dorn Goes Vegan–No More Raw Meat For This Klingon

Star Trek Vulcans have already questioned the morality of eating animals, but just because Klingons are known for their taste for raw meat, doesn’t mean some don’t give up it.

Michael Dorn, best known for his role as Lt. Commander Worf on Star Trek: The Next Generation, revealed in an interview with Live Fit that he’s become a vegan over the past 2-3 years and the only thing he occasionally misses is the burger and fries. But this Klingon has found that “dressing up” any meatless patty is the trick.

William Shatner: Release Lucy The Elephant From Edmonton Zoo

19th Annual Hollywood Charity Horse Show

Actor William Shatner is calling for the release of an elephant from what has been called one of the worst zoos in Canada by elephant expert Winnie Kiiru.

In a letter to Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel, Mr. Shatner wrote, “I humbly ask you to allow Lucy to retire to better circumstances than at the Edmonton Zoo … she’s old, feeble, and many of us know how that feels.”

Canada’s cold temperatures and zoo policy require that Lucy stay indoors for most of the time, which significantly reduces her mobility.

When she is allowed outside, the enclosed area is very dusty and causes her respiratory and foot problems, according to PETA’s blog.

Shatner is an Emmy winning award actor who’s best known for being Captain James T. Kirk on Star Trek as well as his role in Boston Legal.

Spock, Star Trek’s Vulcan Vegan, Questions His Flesh Eating Ways

Trekkies unite! The 2009 Star Trek Movie is still in theatres, so put your Vulcan thinking caps on and find a good, logical reason to see the movie.

Vulcans aren’t always the coolheaded creatures they want to be, as Spock proved once when he savored the taste of animal flesh. But at least he questioned his ridiculous ways.

“Please pay no attention, I’m not myself. I’m behaving disgracefully. I have eaten animal flesh and I’ve enjoyed it. What is wrong with me?”

Admitting is the first step, Spock.
