Kristen Wiig Russell Brand Win PETA Sexiest Vegetarians

Kristen Wiig

PETA has revealed the winners of its latest Sexiest Vegetarians Contest.

Being sexy, vegetarian and funny must be a likely combination because this year two hilarious television personalities, Kristen Wiig and Russell Brand were crowned Queen and King.

Lewis recorded a PSA for the ranch, which sits on 1,300 acres and is home to over 1,200 wild and domestic animals that have been rescued from various situations such as circuses, roadside zoos and slaughterhouses.

“I have my own horse,” Lewis says in the video. “He’s so beautiful and gentle and gives me so much love back. To think that someone would hurt them is heartbreaking.”

“Going vegan and making that transition is not as daunting as you might think. It can seem like this insurmountable hurtle. People eat more vegan food than they realize, you know? ?Cause, you know, I, like most people, I grew up eating meat and animal products without thinking about it, but it’s, you know, now it’s been almost 10 years and I don’t look back. It doesn’t even strike me as an option anymore, and that transition happened naturally, and I’m happy and healthy, and that could happen to anyone.”

–Maroon 5’s Mickey Madden, in an interview with PETA2.
