素食風尚正流行,你說我說,大家都在說,但名人們又有什麼話說呢?且看美國人道對待動物組織(PETA)為我們補捉到的時尚名人素食語錄。

 

  (1) 玉女紅星,艾莉西亞•席薇史東(Alicia Silverstone)
只要人們花些時間與農場裡的動物像豬、牛、小雞或火雞以愛的方式相處,人們可能就會發現人與農場中的動物關係,跟人與貓、狗的關係是相同的。人們不這麼想,是因為人們認為這些動物是用來吃的。為何農場中的動物要被當成食物,而其他動物卻被當成寵物呢?我絕不會將我的寶貝狗狗當食物吃的。

“[O]nce people spend time with farm animals in a loving way ... a pig or cow or a little chicken or a turkey, they might find they relate with them the same way they relate with dogs and cats. People don't really think of them (that way) because they're on the plate. Why should they be food when other animals are pets? I would never eat my doggies.” (Alameda Times-Star)

 

 

  (2) 國際影星李察.吉爾(Richard Gere)
動物權運動者的所做所為會觸怒一些人。但這實在是很荒謬的。比起那些死在農場中的大量動物來說,這沒什麼吧!

"People get offended by animal rights campaigns. It's ludicrous. It's not as bad as mass animal death in a factory." (Time Out magazine)

 

 

  (3) 奧斯卡最佳女主角獎,金•貝辛格(Kim Basinger)
如果你能感受到或看到動物所受的痛苦,你不會再想第二次。請給牠們生路,不要再吃肉了。

"If you could feel or see the suffering you wouldn't think twice. Give back life. Don't eat meat." (The Compassionate Cook)

 

 

 

(4) 電子音樂神童,摩比(Moby)
以智慧而言,人類與動物也許不同,但相當明顯的是動物擁有豐富的感情,牠們會快樂也會痛。我們很容易忘了漢堡是來自牛這中間的關聯。但我強迫我自己每當我吃漢堡時要明瞭這個事實,就是,一隻牛已經為此停止呼吸,不能再叫與走路了。

"Intellectually, human beings and animals may be different, but it's pretty obvious that animals have a rich emotional life and that they feel joy and pain. It's easy to forget the connection between a hamburger and the cow it came from. But I forced myself to acknowledge the fact that every time I ate a hamburger, a cow had ceased to breathe and moo and walk around." (Teen People)

 
 
 

 

(5) 電影「蜘蛛人」男主角,陶比.麥奎爾(Tobey Maguire)
因為我吃素,所以當我演「蜘蛛人2」時要我減肥比我增胖容易多了,而且如果當你吃太多時,你也會覺得不舒服。

“It was a lot easier for me to lose the weight rather than putting it back on when I had to start shooting Spider-Man 2because I’m a vegetarian and it feels uncomfortable if you feel you’re eating too much.” ( Celebrity News Service)
