Guy Fieri

Guy Fieri grew up in a vegetarian, macrobiotic home that drove him nuts.

He told People his parents cooked, “vegetarian, nondairy, whole grains, no red meat. I started cooking when I was 10 because I just couldn’t eat that stuff.”

Luckily, he’s not so turned off by vegetarian food he can still whip up something meatless and delicious. At least for his own family.

Guy said the Morgan’s Vegetarian Patty Sliders are, “named after my sister Morgan, who is a vegetarian. I created them for her.”

Olivia Munn

Guys, if you’re going to take Olivia Munn out for Valentine’s Day, you better not show up in a horse and buggy.

When asked by PETA what her perfect idea for a V-Day date was, Munn answered: “The least romantic thing to do in New York or any other city is going on horse-drawn carriage rides. … [I]f you knew the pain and misery these beautiful animals endure just to fulfill the false symbol of uniting two hearts, it would actually break your heart. To see the horses in the harsh, cold weather being forced to cart people around the city is the farthest thing from romantic in my opinion.”

Moby

Moby has been a vegan for about half his life, but at a Wanderlust Festival Speakeasy Lecture series, the musician filled in the blanks about what his diet was like before he found the starving kitten in the dumpster that made him rethink his dedication to animals.

“Up until the time I was about 19 years old, I had nothing but disdain for vegetarians and vegans. There was a woman in my high school class and she refused to play softball because the mitt was made out of leather. And I just thought that was the stupidest thing I’d ever heard.”

Urban Outfitters

It was recently discovered that Urban Outfitters was selling real fur under a faux label.

An unfortunate event, as this store could have been trusted by many animal lovers due to its popularity. It’s even on the Humane Society’s Fur-Free Retailers list.  However, Urban Outfitters has acknowledged the mistake, citing the product vendor’s factory as the source of the labelling issue and insists it remains committed to keeping its pledge not to sell fur items.

Ethical fashion blogger Joshua Katcher, who also blogs at TheDiscerningBruite.com, purchased the item from Urban Outfitters, the “S Loves C by Spring & Clifton Faux Fur Cardigan,” and put the garment through several test that can determine if something is real or fake fur.

Taraji P. Henson

“When I realized what went into the fur on your gloves or on your jacket, what goes into killing those animals, it ripped my heart out. You don’t have to kill an animal because you want to be hot and fly. It’s not the 16th century anymore.  We’ve got central heating for God’s sake. And you can get a fake fur coat. I have one. It’s fabulous.”

Taraji P. Henson, at a party held at Stella McCartney‘s 14th Street Boutique in New York recently. Other guests in attending the bash thrown by PETA include Tim Gunn and Olivia Munn.

Henson looks stunning in any photo, but if you’re interested in seeing, ahem, more of her, view her NSFW anti-fur ad below.

Waka Flocka

Waka Flocka Flame plans to show the world he’s not down with fur once his PETA “Ink Not Mink” anti-fur ad is unveiled.

As it turns out, Waka always wears his own skin. This guy is fur AND leather free.

From Sohh:

“He wasn’t shy about agreeing to go naked to bring attention to the fur industry,” Cho revealed in an interview. “We’re all huge fans of his music — I did some research online and I didn’t see any photos of him wearing fur. PETA reached out to him with a request to start our ‘Ink Not Mink’ campaign, and come to find out, Waka doesn’t even wear leather.”
