Sarah McLachlan Speaks Out Against Seal Slaughter

Michael d'Estries — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:49:43 +0000

Sarah McLachlan appeared on Canadian television yesterday sporting a PETA anti-seal hunt shirt and expressing her anger over the practice.

The 41-year-old singer was in Ottawa performing a concert in celebration of Canada Day when CTV News caught up with her for a quick interview. “The commercial sealing industry in Canada is perverse and sick,” she told the reporter.” They club these seals as early as 12 days old, and half the time they hook them and they drag them across the ice. … It’s archaic, and it’s horrible, and I want it to stop.”

Check out the rest of the great interview here.

Sarah McLachlan has teamed up with the ASPCA in a new commercial to help shed light on the thousands of innocent animals who are abandoned each year.

In the ad, McLachlan says, “This holiday season thousands of innocent, loving animals will be abandoned, left alone to suffer and die, and they need your help right now. For just 18 dollars a month — only 60 cents a day — you’ll help rescue animals who have been left to die, and you’ll provide shelter, food and love. It’s the greatest gift you can give to an animal who needs you.”

Here at Ecorazzi we fully support both Sarah and the ASPCA and look forward to hearing more about all their wonderful work in the future! So check and out the video below, and then make sure you stop by MyASPCA.org to help make a difference to an animal in need today!

Celebrity Bel-Air Pet Shop Closed For Selling Unlicensed Dogs

Pets of Bel Air, a popular celebrity puppy emporium, has been exposed for operating without a license for over 3 years. The Humane Society of the United States lead the investigation and officially closed down the store yesterday afternoon for selling puppies from unlicensed mills, for at least $1,000.

The problem with these mills is that without a license there are no rules to govern how they treat their pets. Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States stated, “Often, they’re run by farmers who raise soybeans and corn, and this becomes another, more lucrative cash crop for them. It often becomes a dominant source of income because no money is spent on the care of these dogs.”

Pets of Bel Air is famous for their celebrity pooch selling skills, and just recently provided Britney Spears a yorkie and Paris Hilton a Chihuahua. Other celebrities like Alicia Silverstone, Sarah Mclachlan and Mary Tyler Moore all get warm fuzzies for helping spread good examples by buying rescued dogs from local shelters. Plus, we all know I kinda have a crush on Alicia Silverstone.

If you’re looking to adopt a new pet this holiday season, I recommend going to PetFinder.com and browsing through some adorable, rescued puppies that could all use some serious holiday snuggle time.
