I’m not a fan of Peta. I think in large part, most of them are crazy. I respect their message, but I don’t respect their means. I’m not sure how you can justify hurting a human, because they ate a chicken. That brings me to Joss…
British soul star Joss Stone is the face of a new online People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) ad aimed at turning music fans into vegetarians.
The singer’s new ad launches today - a week before her new album, Introducing Joss Stone, is released.
In the ad, available at PETA’s youth offshoot peta2’s website, Stone poses with a chicken beside the tagline, “I’m a singer, a songwriter, a performer, and a human being accepting of all sizes, shapes, colours, and species. I am Joss Stone, and I am a vegetarian.”
The singer has been vegetarian since birth and was voted the World’s Sexiest Vegetarian in a 2005 peta2 poll.
She says, “I wanted to do the shoot because I feel there is no need to cause another living thing pain or harm. There are so many other things we can eat. I have never eaten meat in my life, and I’m five feet 10 inches and not exactly wasting away. A wise man once said, ‘Animals are my friends and I’m not in the habit of eating my friends.’ That is exactly how I feel.”
