"Many years ago, I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realised, 'I am killing him — all for the passing pleasure it brings me'. Something inside me clicked. I realized as I watched him fight for breath that his life was as important to him as mine is to me." McCartney said.
3) Portia de Rossi When Portia married Ellen DeGeneres, the wedding featured a vegan meal for guests, as well as a vegan wedding cake.
4) Ellen DeGeneres The talk show host has recently gone vegan! She has always been a huge animal supporter and encourages eating local and organic food.
