PETA Asks Will Ferrell To Give Up His Animal Wrestling Ways
2008-05-05 17:04:00
Last week Ecorazzi told you that PETA was investigating the death of Stephan Miller, the 39-year-old animal trainer who was fatally attached by Rocky – the grizzly bear featured in Will Ferrell ’s film, Semi-Pro. Now it looks like PETA’s going right to the source and asking Ferrell to stop using animals in all of his movies.  In February, PETA sent a letter to Ferrell’s agents warning of both the dangers of working with wild animals and how many of these animals are cruelty treated, but the warning went ignored and now PETA is giving it a second go. PETA recently sent another letter to Ferrell and his camp stating, “We know you to be a compassionate person, and we are hoping that this deadly incident will make you have a change of heart about acting with animals in the future.” Many celebrities are adamant about not working with animals, including Pamela Anderson who recently refused to shoot a scene with a trained Labrador.  Is Ferrell goin...

Just because I’m a lean, green, vegan machine doesn’t mean my social group swims in the same pool. In fact, while my friends are always progressing, my nearest and dearest aren’t necessarily the most eco-friendly kids on the block. So when I called my buddy Tyler this morning to wish him a HAPPY COMPOST AWARENESS WEEK, I was met with a long sigh, an obvious eye roll and a snappy comeback– “And what’s next? Trash in a tree month?” True, we environmental so-and-sos have a lot of special days, weeks and months, but what’s life without a little celebration every now and then, right? And so in the spirit of green holidays, let’s pause for a moment and celebrate the ever-growing, socially responsible, compost revolution! Compost Awareness week is organized by The Composting Association (CA) and WRAP, with the goal of increasing awareness of compost in the wider community and highlight its many benefits and applications - particularly f...
