(AP) Outspoken vegetarian Paul McCartney is urging India to declare a
national Vegetarian Day to celebrate meat-free living and compassion
toward animals.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says McCartney sent a
letter to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh saying such a day could
save animals while helping to protect both the environment and
people's health.
McCartney's letter says "it would be a celebration of life."
The U.N. food agency in 2003 estimated 42 percent of India's 1.2
billion people are vegetarian, due mostly to financial and religious
concerns. Strict Hindus and Jains do not eat meat.
