Comments Off on Georges Laraque Is Green Party’s Deputy Leader
Former NHL player Georges Laraque has been named the Deputy Leader of the Green Party in Canada. As a vegan and animal rights activist, Laraque couldn’t have picked a more appropriate organization to align himself with.
The Green Party’s Vision, a lengthy document updated in January of 2010, lists the party’s goals for a sustainable Canada that includes changes made to food, animal, transportation and employee practices. The party would like to give more support to organic farming, for example, by providing assistance for those switching to the process, which can take several years before becoming certified. It would also like to end federal assistance to the seal hunt while supporting an end to the seal hunt entirely.
Here are a few other key points from Green Vision:

Comments Off on Danielle Staub Enjoys Houston’s Veggie Burger For Birthday Bash
It’s hard to believe that in 2 more years, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub will be 50.
The reality TV actress recently celebrated her 48th at Houston’s in Hackensack, NJ with a friend, and Radar Online reports the two had an almost completely vegetarian dinner–spinach dip, french fries and veggie burgers which probably eventually smelled fishy before the meal was completely gone due to the sashimi salad they shared.
The Houston’s House Made veggie burger consists of “brown rice, black beans and oat bran recipe with sweet soy and melted Jack.”
It’s also a favorite of journalist Nicole Lapin.

Comments Off on Morrissey Chimes In On Queen’s Guards Wearing Real Bear Fur Hats
Morrissey wrote a letter to the UK Times praising Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe for unveiling footage of an undercover investigation of black bear baiting and hunting and denouncing the practice of killing Canadian bears to use their fur to line the hats worn by the Queen’s Guards.
“Sir, I welcome Ann Widdecombe’s views on the depravity of bear-baiting in order to serve the vanities of the British Army Guards (Opinion, July 30). In the humanised world, of course, hats are not worth killing for. Yes, animal rights move different people differently, and there are even those who think that animals simply have no right to be, but there is no sanity in making life difficult on purpose for the Canadian brown bear, especially for Guards hats that look absurd in the first place, and which can easily be replaced by faux versions (thanks to the visionary Stella McCartney) with no death involved.”

Mike Tyson shared some funny and painful truths about being over a hundred pounds overweight with ESPN. Like how hard it was to take care of toilet duties and the fact that his butt disappeared.
“It was hard to wipe my butt…Oh man the back fat. The back fat is when it’s so bad, your ass looks like a board. It’s like boom. The back and ass is one.”
It also sounds as if Tyson attributes his major weight loss to his vegan diet, which he began last year.

Pete Bethune participated in a chat interview where several dozens of people jumped at the chance to ask the famous ex Sea Shepherd member questions about his life and philosophy on animals, the planet and food.
Although Sea Shepherd broke its ties with Bethune after learning he brought bow and arrows on a mission, he still speaks fondly of the organization, especially regarding its policy of eating vegan on the boat. People usually don’t complain about being hungry, for example.
“It is a good thing because many non-Vegans realize it is fine. Some people can change to Vegan / vegetarian through this and some don’t. For many people, getting to be Vegan is like an evolution. Many of us were raised in meat families, and we don’t just one day go Vegan. It takes time. I believe Sea Shepherd is good because it gives people the opportunity to experience it with chefs that really know how to cook good Vegan food.”
So what about that story about Pete eating the eye-fillet, otherwise known as a beef tenderloin for the animal flesh naive?

Moby made an appearance at the Wanderlust Festival, a yoga retreat and rock concert held at Lake Tahoe’s Squaw Valley. The rocker discussed his life changing cat Tucker, how consumers should vote with their forks and dollars to end this subsidizing of burger mess and how he wouldn’t even buy free-range eggs if he personally met all the chickens.
Attendees at the event were treated to tea and Evol Burritos, a company that, while not completely vegetarian, offers several vegetarian options and a green story behind its business.

A former American Idol contestant who wowed the crowds with her southern croons won’t be following the steps of fellow country music star and American Idol alumnus Carrie Underwood.
Kristy Lee Cook is the star of a new hunting television show, Goin’ Country, on the Versus channel where cameras shoot her as she shoots any creature that looks potentially tasty.
Recently Goldilocks shot the bear who was eating her grains and messing with her horses. She never found him on her bed, though.
“That bear had been causing trouble for five nights, eating grain and spooking my horses. He was making a mess of the whole barn,” Cook said, according to Fox News. “One night I was walking in the house and I saw something standing in the door of my barn and I got him in one shot.”
