			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Comedian/Actor/Musician <strong>Hal Sparks</strong> (<em>VH1</em>, <em>Queer as Folk</em>, <em>Zero1</em>) may make a living cracking jokes, but the treatment of animals is something that he takes very seriously. If you watched him in <em>Celebracadabra</em> as I did, you probably picked up on that when he refused to do an escape that might harm snakes and also lamented over an earlier trick involving butterflies.</p>
<p>In a video message for <a href="http://www.humanecalifornia.org/" target="_blank"><span style="x-small;">Californians for Humane Farms</span></a>, Hal shows his support for the <a href="http://ag.ca.gov/cms_pdfs/initiatives/2007-08-09_07-0041_Initiative.pdf" target="_blank">Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act</a> by saying that &#8220;Treating an animal like a widget is cruel&#8221; and &#8220;Animals deserve to be treated humanely, even if they are raised for food&#8221;.</p>

<p>Hal is just one of the many celebrities who will be voting YES on Prop 2 in November. Others include: <strong>Ed Begley, Jr.</strong> <a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/07/10/bill-nyebegley-jr-green-rivalry-still-on-escalating/">(will <strong>Bill Nye</strong> be getting in on this too?)</a>, <strong>Hayden Panettiere</strong>, <strong>Alicia Silverstone</strong>, <strong>Rikki Rachtman</strong>, <a href="https://www.humanecalifornia.org/content/index.php?pid=59" target="_blank">and many more</a>.</p>
