I’m Pete and I play bass in Yellowcard and I do a little bit of background vocals every
now and then. I’ve actually only been vegetarian for going on four or five months now. Umm
I made the decision umm I use to eat tons of steak, I’d go out for steak like three
nights a week and I decided to... initially I decided to stay away from red meat for health
reasons and I’ve always had the... I’ve always had it on my mind, the treatment of
animals and I decided to stay away from chicken and everything else. One of my friends had
actually had got... help get me into it... um just showed me a lot of pictures and I’ve…
you know I’m an animal lover, I’ve got a dog and you know it’s... I’m very, very
just passionate with animals I love you know I just love animals and seeing a lot of pictures
that I saw I was just like okay I'm a... going to stay away from it.
It was just slaughter house pictures umm... and I’ve heard sound bites of just cattle
getting mutilated and it’s... It’s... well I... I think it’s the most disturbing
thing I’ve ever seen and heard. You know actually, I think every meat eater should
actually go out and kill something and slaughter it and take the meat out themselves what they
are going to actually eat and I think I would be a lot different. I’ve got a huge 120
pound German Sheppard and a he looks scary but he’s the biggest baby in the world and
a... I love’em. Out of all of my friends, when they get their pets they go to the pound
the genocide of animals and would shovel bodies of animals and it’s a... I think it’s...
I think it’s a lot... all my friends that do have pets that's got them from the pound,
an animal like that but umm... I love my dog. He’s the one thing I miss the most when
I’m out on the road, I miss him and we were just home a couple of days ago before this
so I got to see him, which was nice. My vet recommended me to get my
dogs umm... get him fixed because a... it’s healthier for him. It decreases the chance
of him getting prostate cancer. I think animals are amazing, they’re great, they don’t...
you know, I think they’re especially you know dogs, they’re the most honest creatures
on Earth, they don’t lie, you know... they’re great... they’re very just loving and a...
and it just seems so sad that you know, so many potential good pets out there, that are,
you know ignored because they were out on the street or something. Umm I would really
like to see a reverse in that. If you are thinking about it definitely... definitely,
you know go do the research and if you have a pet... maybe look at your pet and think
about what it would be if that was him you were eating.
