Alan Donohoe Exposes Butt, Says Why He Went Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, March 27th, 2009 in Male Singers, Videos.

Earlier we learned Alan Donohoe of The Rakes had his butt covered environmentally due to his vegan diet.

However, the latest dirt on Alan reveals something completely contradictory. It seems he’s taken his pants off and exposed his butt on one occasion. But it was all in the name of animal rights.

Alan ran naked in PETA’s Running Of The Nudes, to help bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

Alan’s cute rescue kitty, Fritz, makes an appearance in this clip. 

Watch the video to learn why Alan went vegan and visit peta2.org to enter to win a personal ring tone recorded by Alan and a signed copy of The Rakes’ latest CD, Klang!

The Rakes’ Alan Donohoe: His Butt’s Covered Environmentally

The Rakes Perform At The ICA

Some say if you’re a vegetarian and drive a Hummer, you’re still responsible for less emissions than a meat eater. Of course a vegan driving a hybrid is better. A vegan on a bike is superb. And if piggybacking ever becomes a standard of transportation, that’ll cut carbon emissions too. 

Alan Donohoe of The Rakes never wanted to drive, and living in London there was really no need for a car, but eventually he settled on a middle of the road eco-friendly Triumph 1300 after moving to Brighton.

Donohoe admits the Triumph 1300 isn’t as efficient as other vehicles, but since he’s a vegan, he’s got his butt covered-at least environmentally.

“[My car is] very light, though it isn’t as efficient as one those horrible cars, what are they called? Those new sort of smart cars. It’s not like I take it out apart from the odd spin at the weekend or something, but in my defence I am a vegan, and that diet is very good for the environment. I can’t back it up scientifically and I don’t know who said it, but a vegan in a 4X4 is still using more emissions than a meat eater on a bicycle. I went to this talk by this guy from The Vegan Society and he was talking about people having enough land to sustain themselves, and he was saying a vegan could live off one acre of land using the resources of everything within that acre. So environmentally, I’m covered.”
