You read that right, Oprah Winfrey is going vegan as part of a 21 day cleanse! She announced on her show yesterday that she is thinking about going vegetarian. She read Quantum Wellness by Kathy Freston, and has decided to eliminate all animal products from her diet as part of an "inner makeover", i.e.: a vegan cleanse for three weeks!

I love me some Oprah. I was an Oprah fan long before most of the country even knew who she was. I grew up watching Oprah when she did double-time as an anchor and as a co-host of a chat show on WJZ-TV channel 13 in Baltimore and have been enamored of her ever since.

Of course now that she's Oprah Winfrey: Media Mogul and World-wide Mega Star, she has the power to influence millions and save countless animals. She's already started blogging about the experience stating, "Wow, wow, wow! I never imagined meatless meals could be so satisfying. I had been focused on what I had to give up—sugar, gluten, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese. "What's left?" I thought. Apparently a lot. I can honestly say every meal was a surprise and a delight, beginning with breakfast—strawberry rhubarb wheat-free crepes."

Yum, crepes. Sounds delightful to me! Here's hoping she sticks to her vegan diet, and that her legions of fans follow in her footsteps.

UK's National Fishing Week July 24, 2007

Fishing I tell you, what’s that about? How can anyone derive pleasure from that so-called sport? You're either sitting on your arse or you're maiming defenceless animals, not a lot of fun either way, but for some reason a few crazies still do it. To try and boost the popularity of the prehistoric blood sport some UK-based fishing organisations have created National Fishing week in the UK. I guess they are going to try to give it a new look—maybe getting people to run around in caveman outfits so the image matches the ethics.

peta2 US is currently running a mission in the UK—Save Fish, Eat Chips and this week is definitely the best time to get involved. So print off your sign and get your cameras out and start snapping.

Fish are often overlooked when it comes to cruelty as they are not as cute and cuddly as a dog or cat, but they still feel pain. They can learn from one another to avoid nets and they can recognise individuals in a shoal. Learn more about fish here. Remember boys and girls, if you aren't already a member of the Street Team, you should be swimming with excitement to join and start helping animals!

It's True...Fish are Friends... June 12, 2007

In case you didn't know, one of our favorite things is hearing feedback on how our Street Team missions are doing. You will hopefully remember our recent Fishin' Mission, where we asked you to download and print off this handy tear-off flier and post it where a lot of people would see it (with permission, of course).

Many of you wrote to us saying you checked on your fliers and saw that a bunch of people had taken the tabs to get more information about saving animals, which makes us very happy. Want to know what makes us even happier? We love getting pictures of you guys participating in our missions. It's just, like, the best thing ever.

Here are a few of the pictures we've received:

So why haven't you sent us your animal-rights photos yet?
