Los Angeles -- Hot on the heels of the release of Pop Kids, his highly anticipated new novel, AFI and Blaqk Audio frontman Davey Havok is teaming up with peta2, PETA's youth division, for another print project: a brand-new vegan testimonial (available here) that features a stylized black-and-white photo of Havok and reads, "I Am Davey Havok, and I Am a Vegan." And to celebrate the new ad, peta2 is offering a free copy of Pop Kids to three lucky peta2.com visitors.
"I have wanted to live the healthiest lifestyle as possible. Being vegan is a part of that desire. To be able to consume foods that I know help my body, rather than destroy my body, and to avoid foods that are detrimental to my well-being," Havok explains in an exclusive peta2 interview. "I began to look further into the animal rights aspect of it …. And if I really cared about the animals, for me, I needed to take that step into veganism. … I'm happier when I'm true to what I believe in and true to what I know is right."
Vegans are less prone to heart disease, cancer, strokes, and obesity than meat-eaters are, and they also save more than 100 animals a year from immense suffering. In today's industrialized meat and dairy industries, chickens and turkeys have their throats cut while they're still conscious, piglets have their tails and testicles cut off without being given any painkillers, fish are suffocated or cut open while they're still alive, and calves are taken away from their mothers within hours of birth.
Havok joins a long list of musicians, artists, and other celebrities—including Rise Against,Serj Tankian, Dave Navarro, Rob Zombie, and Ogre from Skinny Puppy—who have teamed up with peta2 to promote animal protection.
