Leona Lewis says seeing people wear fur makes her stomach churn.
“When I see people wearing fur it makes me so sick. Especially when I see young singers doing it – that sickens me.”
Being such an animal lover, you can imagine how she felt when stylists tried to throw animal attire on her for a photo shoot.
“When I rocked up to my first photo shoot they had feathers and fur there and everything in despise,” she said to Live magazine, according to Angry Ape. “I had to make it so clear that I just do not go there.”

Comments Off on Super Bowl Commercials PETA Approves (Video)
This year’s Super Bowl featured a variety of commercials that focused on using animation and other technologies to replace the use of live animals that may otherwise be overworked and thrown into an unnatural environment.
PETA may have had their fornicate with vegetables Super Bowl ad banned, but they aren’t bitter about it, and give credit to some great animal friendly commercials, including this Whales of a Tale: Bridgestone video.
“Three friends. One animatronic whale. Millions of happy viewers. Bridgestone also gets extra kudos from us for recently banning the use of endangered animals in all of its commercials!”
Plus, there’s nothing more entertaining than a beaver than plays the fiddle in the Monster.com commerical, right?

“When we have babies, we breastfeed them, and then at a certain point, we stop. It is exactly the same for cows and every other mammal on the planet. They produce milk when they give birth, they feed their young, and then they stop. We are the only species on the planet that drinks the milk of another species. We are the only species on the planet that drinks milk as adults.”

Comments Off on “The Raconteurs” Brendan Benson–Vegans Might Be Alienated
Brendan Benson of The Raconteurs says a vegetarian in his band won’t last very long.
According to Hitfix, when asked what the key to surviving on the road and not killing bandmates was, Benson answered, “I think there’s a combination of things. Humor would be key. If everyone has relatively the same sense of humor, then that helps. And things in common, like food, eating. If there’s one person who’s vegan, say, then that person might be alienated in my band (laughs)… Last night we went to this vegan restaurant because someone said it was great. It was okay, I think some of us would have preferred a steak.”
That’s quite contrast to some other bands, like Death Cab For Cutie, who, although only 2 members are vegetarian, all 4 eat veg on the road to make it easier on the herbivores.
