Alicia Silverstone–Actress "If you talk to people who grew up on a farm, they'll tell you that they had an experience where they were taking care of a cow, and one day their parents took it away and killed it. It's a torturous experience for them, and that's when they became hard."
Amanda Beard–Olympic Swimmer "Seeing animals slaughtered to be worn as fashion is awful to me, so I'm definitely against wearing fur … I'd much rather go naked than ever put a dead animal on my body." Unless we're talking shoes… Here’s what Amanda told shoe blogger Meghan Cleary last year when asked, "What pair of shoes would you want to be buried in?": "Something that just screams 'me.' All of my friends would agree that it would be this pair of leather sandals that I wear all the time. I wear them on the pool deck, at the beach, and even sneak them into my wardrobe for dinners."
Bob Barker–Former Game Show Host Bob chimes in on Virginia deer management. Here's an excerpt from his letter as published by the newsleader.com. The Great Falls deer "walk along an ancestral path that leads them to and from their sleeping place" and warned that if VDGIF didn't stop a cull hunt, "children will be catatonic, the neighbors will be up in arms, the fawns will be orphans and the does will be dead" all "for the sake of a few flowers."
Clint Eastwood–Actor This quote came from a recent L.A. Times interview: "Bagging a bird," Eastwood said, "I was thinking, 'The poor duck, what the hell did she do that for?' I don't go for hunting. I just don't like killing creatures."
Ingrid Newkirk–President of PETA "When it comes to having a central nervous system, and the ability to feel pain, hunger, and thirst, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy."
Jesse Ventura–Former Governor of Minnesota and Pro Wrestler "You need to hunt something that can shoot back at you to really classify yourself as a hunter. You need to understand the feeling of what it's like to go into the field and know your opposition can take you out. Not just go out there and shoot Bambi."
Larry Bird–Basketball God According to Esquire, Bird was quoted as saying: "I just don't want to kill anything anymore."
Lily Allen–Entertainer Her bleeding deer dress pretty much says it all.
Marv Levy–Ex-Coach Buffalo Bills "When I was 12, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature who was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning?"
Mary Tyler Moore–Actress "Marine biologists report that lobsters are fascinating beings with complex social interactions, long childhoods and awkward adolescences," Moore once wrote. "Like humans, they flirt with one another and have even been seen walking 'claw-in-claw!'" Moore tried unsuccessfully to pay $1,000 to free a 16-pound lobster from a Malibu, California restaurant. Rush Limbaugh offered $2,000 to eat it.
Paul McCartney–Former Beatle "Many years ago, I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realized, 'I am killing him–all for the passing pleasure it brings me.' "And something inside me clicked. I realized as I watched him fight for breath, that his life was as important to him as mine is to me."
Shania Twain–Entertainer According to a TV Guide interview, Shania said: "I love to cook nothing that had to die."
