Joan Jett has a long career as a rock guitarist and singer and it 'has become an icon for generations of rock musicians. The press has used for her flattering definitions such as "the queen of punk" or "the ultimate rock star." In this interview, Joan Jett talks about his vegetarianism for animals.
D. There 'was a specific thing that led you to be a vegetarian?
J. I was on tour eight months a year, and meat eating late at night was too heavy, so 'I started eating other things. Gradually I lost the taste for meat and in parallel, 'grown in me the knowledge that is not 'no need to eat animals to live in this world.
D. You have a reputation for being a "hard". What do you think when people say that being vegetarian or vegan and 'a sign of weakness?
J. I think it's the opposite. E 'weak people who say these things,' cause when you do not eat animals and 'absolutely necessary. Surrender to the desire to eat meat just because 'you can' - this' weakness! It 's like eating your dog or your cat. We need things like bird flu or mad cow disease to get people to stop killing animals for food?
D. What would you say to David Novak, director of the KFC if you were stuck in an elevator with him? (KFC and 'a fast food chain specializing in chicken-based foods, and' the subject of a boycott campaign against the serious forms of abuse against animals which would be responsible).
J. I could explain to him that the chickens recognize each other through facial expressions and how most human beings have been informed. If you could plant a few seeds of this awareness might wake up people's minds more 'sensitive.
D. What do you think those who wear fur?
J. I think people are insensitive and selfish. With all kinds of good quality synthetic furs' that can be used for clothing, there 'no reason to torture animals. E 'syndrome, "I do not feel I can not see." We should try to lovers of fur what it means to be taken with the legs in a trap, or receive a blow on the head with a bat, and perhaps understand it.
D. We know that you have always been a huge animal lover since you were a kid. Can you tell us what 's was the most' strange that you have done to help animals in distress'?
J. I have four cats, all taken from the street or shelters. Do to eat a lot of strays in my city 'and I found several dogs are lost and fortunately managed to return them their families. Do not deliberately kill any animals, including insects and rodents. I once had to run up and 'down' Home Cercado to save the birds, who had come no one knows how, from the clutches of my cats ... Luckily I was able to fly them away, sometimes I have to also save the moths from my cats.
D. What can the kids to help improve the lives of animals?
J. For children and young people should say what they eat and where it comes from their food. Should prefer the local agricultural products! Read the book "Diet for a New America." Talk of food production and how the cow grazing in the meadows become a steak on the plate.
This is a process that takes its time, and young people must be informed and aware, and then can really decide for themselves.
