I received this press release from PETA today which was kind of random.

From the release,

“Animals on factory farms and in slaughterhouses don’t have a fighting chance,” says Danzig, who forced his opponent, Tommy Speer, into submission using a rear naked choke just two minutes and one second into the first round of the championship match last month. “I don’t eat animals because I don’t want to contribute to their suffering—it’s that simple. Do yourself a favor, do the planet a favor, and help end animal abuse. Go veg.” Danzig got his shot at the crown by prevailing over his competitors on Spike TV’s Ultimate Fighting Championship.

The ad is part of a new series of PETA vegetarian testimonials that star a growing list of celebrities, including Alicia Silverstone, Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, James Cromwell, and Joss Stone.

You can check out the story and a video of Danzig here.
