Carrie Underwood Calls 'Ag-Gag' Bills the 'Dumbest. Idea. Ever.'

Carrie Underwood’s pretty pipes have made
her one of the most influential artists in country music. But now she’s piping
up about something truly ugly: “ag-gag” bills. Currently being considered
in several states, these unconstitutional bills would make it illegal for
anyone to shoot video on
factory farms in order to expose cruelty to animals, in essence
making whistleblowers out to be criminals. That doesn’t sit well with this
vegan gal, who tweeted, “‘@nytimes:
Taping of Farm Cruelty Is Becoming the Crime nyti.ms/10HpjWn‘
What the what? Terrorism? Really? Dumbest. Idea. Ever.” 

Elsewhere
on Twitter, Amanda Seyfried joined multitudes of
celebrities and supporters in defending PETA’s euthanasia policy, Ireland Baldwin declared that she’s
going to go vegan (with a little help from PETA)—we
sent her a vegan starter kit, Paul McCartney’s “Glass Walls” video,
and cookbooks to help her get started—and Leona Lewis vented about England’s Grand National horse race:

We
love our “Never Be
Silent” campaign, and Waka Flocka Flame does, too: He never
passes up an opportunity to speak up against the cruelty of fur. This time, in
an interview with AOL’s
TheBoombox, Waka called fur “nasty
as hell.”
We
couldn’t agree more.

Two
and a Half Men‘s Jon Cryer didn’t pass up the
opportunity to brag about his two rescued dogs in his Us magazine “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” article. 

And
over on NBC, Jimmy Fallon’s
Late Night audience simultaneously
screamed with delight and “Awww”ed when the host talked about how überhunk Ryan Gosling has teamed up with PETA to ask for more humane treatment of cows on
dairy farms. 

Hey,
girl. Ryan Gosling wants you to keep up with what he’s doing for animals by following @PETA on Twitter.
