Crystal Cattle directed me towards this interesting read on Celeste Laurent blog today. It’s a list of mis-informed celebrities that support extreme animal rights groups that are against family farming businesses just like us!
- Carrie Underwood – huge supporter of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), a lobbying organization that aims to shut down animal agriculture. Carrie has made personal donations as well as releasing songs with proceeds going to HSUS.
- Kellie Pickler – a passionate vegetarian, also behind several propaganda videos from extremist groups like PETA.
- Shania Twain – Strong PETA supporter, first “Sexiest Vegetarian Alive”
- Colbie Caillat - Supporter of HSUS & Farm Santuary, an animal rights extremist group that works to eliminate family farms
- Justin Bieber - Recently recorded a public service announcement for PETA
- Leona Lewis – Active PETA supporter, outspoken about her dislike of modern farming practises
- P!NK – Regularly helps PETAs campaigns & protests
- Katy Perry – Donating a portion of ticket sales from her current tour to HSUS
So next time someone talks about one of these artists make sure you tell them why they aren’t on your playlist! They are against what farmers do.
But of course there are some great artists out there that are huge supporters of farming including Montgomery Gentry, Reba & the Zac Brown Band. Read about the Zac Brown Band putting PETA in their place on the Crystal Cattle blog!
