Paul McCartney is a huge animal lover and big supporter of animal rights.

So of course he was so happy when the European Union (EU) enacted a law that banned all animal testing.

Cruelty Free International (Buav) is an organization that really spearheaded the ban in Europe, and now they've joined forces with Sir Paul to bring that ban to the rest of the world.

McCartney said:

Paul McCartney certainly is a veteran performer.

It'd take more than a few bugs to get him to mess up a live show.

Actually, we feel like it'd take nothing short of a plague of locusts to throw him off his game.

That's kinda what happened to him at a show in Brazil.

While up on stage, for almost three hours, he was surrounded by grasshoppers, several of which landed on him while he was performing.

One in particular sat on his shoulder while he played.

Paul ended up naming the little guy Harold. Ha!

What a professional, to be able to keep playing and even make light of the situation.

Check out the video (above) to hear Paul talk about his locust buddies then still continue the show!

Paul McCartney REALLY cares for animals…like REALLY cares!!!

Along with his many vegetarian campaigns, including his Heart of the Country song and ad for Linda McCartney Foods, Paul also has a farm in Scotland.

A farm chock full of OLD animals!!!

Paul McCartney honors his late wife each and every time he says no to meat.

The longtime vegetarian is marveling over the fact that more and more people are switching to cruelty-free diets, thanks to Linda and Linda McCartney Foods.

Paul blogs on the growth of the vegetarian industry (HERE) as more options for meals have opened up and the public's education on animal cruelty has improved.

So touching and so sweet….we're all about Paul and Linda McCartney's message!

Honoring his late wife, Paul McCartney has released a song with the help of Linda McCartney Foods, #LoveLinda campaign.

Elvis Costello, a close friend to the McCartneys and a long time vegetarian, provides narration over the music video for Paul's Heart Of The Country.

The best part???

Paul McCartney just celebrated Thanksgiving without Turkey, so to continue his no meat craze, he's requesting a meat-free day!

The Beatle recently attended the Climate Change Conference in Doha, which was ran by H.E. Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah and Christiana Figueres, and because he's a HUGE backer of the environment, he wrote:

Want to know the best way to give thanks this holiday season according to PETA?

Join Paul McCartney and say NO THANKS to turkey.

The rocker and long time vegetarian has teamed up with PETA once again to alert folks of the horrors of slaughterhouses.

45 million turkeys are killed for Thanksgiving while another 25 million die for Christmas.

Will U join Paul and PETA's cause and say no to turkey?
