Sir Paul Mcartney, Activist of Animal Rights

Sir Paul Mcartney has been an animal rights activist (as well as strict vegetarian) for over thirty years. Says Sir Paul, "We can't go on cramming creatures into battery cages, broiler sheds, turkey sheds and so on. Where's the compassion?... It's a real chicken with a face and a heart... When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that's why I can't eat it. Simple as that. I love everything PETA does, especially the title. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals-I don't see how anyone could have a problem with that." Source
