“Arch Enemy” Angela Gossow Vegetarian, But Not Pet Person

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 in Animal Issues, Female Singers.

Kerrang! Day Of Rock At Virgin Megastore

Arch Enemy front woman Angela Gossow loves animals, but won’t keep one for a pet.

“I love all animals in the wilderness,” Gossow said. “This is why I am a vegetarian. I don’t like pets though. They should all be outside where they belong.”

It’s never a good idea to go putting a chimpanzee in your apartment, but how can opening your home to a shelter cat or dog be bad?

“Eating meat is cruel,” Gossow added, citing more reasons for becoming vegetarian. “In the year 2009, no creature needs to be slaughtered anymore. We got plenty of foods to supplement for meat. It is also a big environmental problem — the mass production of cattle.”

Brennan LaBrie

Brennan LaBrie is a journalist set to cover the 2012 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Did we mention he’s only 10 years old?

The prodigy is one of several reporters nationwide for “Time For Kids” and we think this youngin’ is already making great investigative choices for his diet.

“I love to eat; I’m a vegetarian who eats fish,” he said.

Brennan didn’t give his reasons for eating vegetarian to the penisuladailynews, but we’re hoping this little reporter expands his portfolio one day, becomes the next male Jane Velez-Mitchell, and spotlights food, environment, nutrition, and animal welfare issues.

Discovery Channel's Animal Planet Show "Whale Wars" Event

“Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and express our gratitude for all that we have to be thankful for. In the true spirit of this holiday, take a moment to think about the importance of all life. By choosing a vegetarian diet, every one of us can take part in ending the cruelty animals endure on factory farms. Like cats and dogs, turkeys are intelligent, social, and sensitive beings who want to live. Give thanks this holiday and save a life.”
