Since many years Natalie Portman is my favorite actress because she has everything: elegance, beauty, style, intelligence and a BIG LOVING HEART FOR ANIMALS! Can't wait to see her next movie!!!

Good luck Jack.
You and Natalie would be a great couple.
She has always been such a beautiful and kind person.
She really has a beautiful heart.

Now, I'm against fur, but those cows are for eating, and it would be bad to waste its skin.

If I'm a predator on top of the food chain, then I'd better take advantage of the situation and use it to clothe myself.

I have no compassion for that cow because predators don't have compassion for cows.

im basically in love

Natalie Portman is amazing. She inspired me to become a vegetarian. Although I'm not able to be a full vegan, she still helped me make the decision. She is my idol! I love her movies and everything about her. She is an amazing woman.

Cows are not for eating any more than humans are meant for eating by cannibals. All humans need to get off the flesh kick and try a large dose of compassion. Eating cadavers is barbaric. Wear your own damn skin!

Ray-O, if you're "on top of the food chain" why don't you get in a cage with a lion. I think Ms. Lion would beg to differ. Bon appétit.

I would like to see Judith "take down" a cow. With what GOD GIVEN tools? Razor sharp teeth or talons? Oh that is right, we don't have those.

Posted by: Kelly | November 8, 2007 04:57 PM

Um... but you forgot. I'm not human.

Posted by: Ray-O | November 8, 2007 08:37 PM

Mike

WE ARE apex predators. A lion doesnt have firearms, or wit. It has instinct, which tears you apart, but there are tools for defense against this.

She's perfect.

Posted by: Andrew | November 8, 2007 11:52 PM

Oh, Natalie. I love you, and all of the cows you won't wear.

Caboose,

If you put down your rifle and went into the forest, what animals would you be capable of first catching, and then killing and eating, being at the "top" of the food chain and all?

Posted by: Mike Quinoa | November 9, 2007 03:31 PM

Mike

Indian instincts.

Mike

....also, Im not a hunter

Posted by: Caboose (neutral, blue army. Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha) | November 11, 2007 11:51 AM

Caboose,

It was more a general comment on our ineptness as predators if we were without our (insert model of gun here—you know them a lot better than I do).

Posted by: Mike Quinoa | November 13, 2007 12:54 PM

She is now my role model. She definitely has it all. Beauty, personality, love for animals and is a GREAT actress.

Posted by: Cassandra Bohman | November 13, 2007 03:10 PM

But Mike

Sorry. I was only implying that we as humans are able to oppose any animal due to our ability to think, adapt, and build tools to help us. So, um, sorry.

Just because I know firearms doesnt make me a hunter. I dont use any model of artillery or deck gun.

Posted by: Caboose (Combine Slayer) | November 14, 2007 05:30 PM

Caboose,

That's sorta my point. Without our tools we physiologically would only be able to capture and kill fruits and vegetables (and maybe the odd insect, which is of course a life form).

I did use 303's (I believe?) for target practice in Air Cadets, swiss-cheesing paper products.

Posted by: Mike Quinoa | November 15, 2007 04:10 PM

Right Mike. The reason we are able to adapt and think at a higher caliber(heh, get it) is because the qualities of an efficient predator were sacrifised for it.

Posted by: Caboose (Combine Slayer) | November 16, 2007 05:06 PM

Mike

.303 British Service? Cool

Fact:In WWI, the US adopted a variant of the Lee Enfield, and rechambered it for .30-06 rounds. To designate US version from British, The rifles had a bright red stripe on them to prevent the infantry from loading the US rifles with .303 British Service rounds.

Chimpanzees can build and use tools. Crows can build and use tools. The construction and use of tools does not mean that one species is "higher" than the other and will win in battle.

That is so great that she has her standards and is standing up for what is right. I have always loved her, and now I do even more.

Posted by: Lori | December 27, 2007 12:16 AM

I think Natalie is awesome - beauty and brains (Harvard educated). I'm an animal lover, too - and try to limit my intake to veggies and fruit as much as possible - however, I've just never been able to make the transition 100%. I love fish and occasionally steak and chicken. I have tried every synthetic product to help get away from it but I can't seem to 100%. Later I always feel guilty (especially for the cows after seeing some of the horrible treatment they receive at slaughterhouses)... Anyway, I DO try as much as possible to stay away from it but I am still guilty of wearing leather (shoes)... I can't wear synthetic shoes because it causes allergic reactions to my feet (not to mention excessive sweating and then the stinkies)... So what do you do?

Posted by: Kellyn | March 6, 2008 03:53 PM

Natalie Portman is a great role model for teenage girls. She is a star in the world of movies & fame but she is also a star in the world of animal rights & veganism. Go PETA & Natalie!

¡BIEN POR TI NATALIA!
ADEMAS DE BONITA, INTELIGENTE Y BUENA ACTRIZ.

Kellyn,

You make a lot of excuses for continuing to eat fish and meat. You probably can't bear to watch the graphic videos, right? I had the same problems 34 years ago. Watch the videos, watch them until you can't see a piece of chicken, beef, lamb or whatever, on your plate without hearing the groans and seeing the death throes of whatever you are about to eat. It works, really! As time goes by, you don't even like the smell of it cooking. Good luck to you from an oldie.

Posted by: Carol | February 21, 2009 04:04 AM

Natalie has a huge heart.

thank you

Peta forever
