Comments Off on Emily Deschanel Pleads For Chimpanzees’ Retirement
Emily Deschanel has written to the director of the National Institutes of Health, asking him to return chimpanzees who were living at the Alamogordo Primate Facility in New Mexico before they were moved to an invasive research laboratory in Texas. The chimps were moved before the NIH agreed not to remove several dozen other chimpanzees from the sanctuary.
“I am thrilled that the National Institutes of Health has suspended plans to move the 186 chimpanzees who live at the Alamogordo Primate Facility to Southwest National Primate Research Center,” writes Deschanel.
“But I am concerned about the well-being of the 14 chimpanzees who were moved to Southwest before this decision was made. The aging chimpanzees were moved from near-retirement in New Mexico to a facility that conducts painful, invasive experiments on animals and has a long history of animal abuse.”
If there was anyone who acted like a closet veggie, it’s Joe Jonas.
Dude’s been spotted so many times enjoying items like veggie burgers at vegan restaurants like Real Food Daily.
And now, more evidence pointing towards his plant-based propensities has been snapped by MTV’s Buzzworthy Blog after he had been shopping at a clothing store which is home to a cafe that specializes in soy, fruit and veggie-based shakes and drinks.
Her wish was granted. And now you can bid on this piece of furry creature-esque memorabilia contained in a box signed by Bieber himself on ebay to help sanctuary animals.
Comments Off on Jon Fitch Says Milk Won’t Do The Body Good (Video)
Jon Fitch may be the first celebrity do sport a soy, almond or rice milk mustache in a campaign for non-dairy milk.
In this video from Yahoo, Fitch discusses why he doesn’t think several glasses of dairy milk a day can do the body much good.
Some medical experts have concluded that milk isn’t beneficial and even harmful to humans based on several research studies. There’s the casein (milk protein) tied to cancer argument. And no one feels that some of the hormones given to cows such as rBGH were ever meant to improve human health. There’s also the issue as to whether cow’s milk actually provides a good source of calcium, an idea that’s been pushed for years.
Comments Off on Waka Flocka Flame PETA Ad Preview (Video)
Waka Flocka Flame‘s anti fur ad for PETA is set for release soon and Rumor Fix got an exclusive behind the scenes interview and footage from the shoot.
Basically, Waka is stripping down to nothing but a gold necklace, but Rumor Fix will only show the G-rated version. Darn those wholesome, family values-carrying reporters!
After researching what PETA stands for, Waka agreed that doing an “Ink Not Mink” ad that shows off his tattoos to promote not wearing fur was perfect way for him to make a statement about his love for animals, which includes a family dog that was named after his mother, Rose Antney.
“I don’t want anybody to beat my dog, scare my dog or whip my dog,” Waka said.
