Vegetarian Star

Kim Basinger, actress, vegetarian and animal rights’ activist, has written a letter to Russia’s president Vladimir Putin, asking him to release whales being held in captivity in the country.

Basinger wants Putin to take what she feels is the next natural step in animal welfare progression and release the whales in his country into the wild.

Jennifer Aniston has a wedding coming up with fiance Justin Theroux.

Venus Williams enjoys many of the drinks at Jamba Juice, a franchise she has ownership in.

But if you ask her what she’d prefer after a long day on the tennis courts, she’d probably name the Triple Revitalizer Juice Blend.

“I can tell you I’m very excited to be a franchise owner,” Venus said of her involvement with the company. “For me, this is beyond my dreams. It supports the healthy, active lifestyle that I promote, so this is amazing.”

“Most people don’t think very much about the impacts of when they eat and those impacts are profound not only for our own health but for the well being of other animals and for the planet itself.”

“[Veganism] It’s good for us, it’s good for the animals and it’s good for the planet.”

—Gene Baur, president of Farm Sanctuary, one of the largest and well known sanctuaries for abused, rescued and neglected farm animals in the United States, during a recent appearance in Charleston, West Virginia.

Alec Baldwin is the host of a podcast series from WNYC called Here’s the Thing.

He regularly interviews entertainers, artists, policy makers and other movers and shakers in the industry, so an chat with Dan Mathews, vice-president for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, seems perfect for the station’s format.

The two discuss all of the standard issues PETA aims to cover, such as fur and animal testing, but when it comes down to getting the audience really interested, let’s face it–you have to talk about vegan desserts.

Mathews does get an occasional sweet tooth and can tell you exactly where to satisfy it.
