Comments Off on Detroit Lions Offers Slows BBQ “The Genius” Vegetarian Sandwich
Detroit Lions and fans have one more vegetarian option to chew down on at halftime.
Ford Field has invited Detroit restaurant Slows BBQ to the Lions’ home turf to offer several of its gourmet sandwiches that will be prepared fresh at its own concession stand.
BBQ still means chicken, pork and brisket–especially in the midwest–but Slows isn’t slow at all when it comes to knowing Lions have veggie fans in the audience.
Comments Off on Lea Michelle Criticized For L’Oreal Ad Despite Animal Activism
Lea Michelle recently signed a million dollar contract with cosmetics company L’Oreal. Although makeup is supposed to enhance one’s appearance, Michele’s decision isn’t sitting pretty with animal rights activists.
The vegetarian actress who’s appeared in several animal welfare campaigns, including a few for PETA that urges horse-drawn carriages be removed from busy city streets, is drawing criticism because of the company’s policy on animal testing.
A vegetarian diet is all she needed to dance her heart out on Dancing with the Stars, but it wasn’t enough to save Pamela Anderson from being voted off.
The actress, longtime vegetarian and animal rights activists got the boot recently, first celebrity to be eliminated in the show’s 15 season, leaving her partner singer Drew Lachey, behind.
And there were so many episodes left to promote “Go Veg.” Sigh.
Anderson is quite active in the vegetarian and animal rights movement, posing in several ads for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and campaigning to end annual seal hunts around the world, especially in her country of birth, Canada.
Watch Pamela dancing her debut dance in the clip above.

Comments Off on Casey Affleck PETA Ad Against Cow Dehorning (Video)
Casey Affleck has recorded a new PSA for PETA against dehorning calves in the dairy industry.
“Cows and calves struggle desperately during dehorning,” Casey says in the video. “Thrashing, tossing their heads, rearing up, switching their tails, bellowing, and collapsing to the ground—all signs of severe pain and distress. All these procedures are routinely performed without giving the animals any painkillers whatsoever.”
Dairy industry experts say dehorning is necessary as animals get aggressive on farms and will try to hurt each other with their horns. But animal welfare experts say the process isn’t always done at the optimum age or with proper pain killers.
