Dave Noisy has found news that there is still a herd of wild cattle left in the world. There is one left, and only one, it’s in Malaysia, and it would appear that its members are, for the most part, heterosexual. There is also one, and only one professor of animal welfare in nearby Australia. The two singularities are combining to research why domestic cows mount each other during fertile periods. That’s right, as Professor Phillips says, “With domestic cattle the cows show mounting homosexual behaviour when they are on heat and the wild cattle don’t show that.” I don’t know what this means, exactly, other than this is yet another example of feedlot cattle showing different behaviour than wild cows are, but as this is Vegan Porn, the news seemed appropriate.

Zed spotted the random veg quote of the day: at the bottom of this article, you’ll see “I told him I won’t sleep with him until he takes veal off the menu.” I’d love to find out if it worked, but I guess it’s kind of a personal question…
Zed found a blog entry which asks the question “what do you do with a used leech?” This is, in all respects, a fascinating question, but my mind has been overridden with the thought that there are people out there who would consider veganism, except that they can’t find an alternative to putting leeches on a man’s scrotum. Oh, I guess I should have mentioned that that’s what the leeches were used for, huh?
“In general, nutritionists say that alkaline-based foods such as meats and fish produce a bitter, fish taste. Dairy products, which contain a high bacterial putrefaction level, create the foulest tasting fluids by far.” Yes, you know exactly which taste I’m talking about. Egad, it’s sex day at VP! (via Sensible Erection)
Dave Noisy found some PCRM commentary that we pretty much have to post: To Heck with Viagra…I’ll Have Spaghetti compares and contrasts Viagra with a vegetarian diet. I have one other point to add: I have never ever heard of someone picking up at the bar by talking about their consumption of little blue pills. I do, however, know of several cases where veganism was the sole connecting factor in a relationship (no, I’m not talking about my ex-partners), and I know of at least one non-vegan who dated herbivores specifically with thoughts of better sex in mind (no, I’m not talking about-well, lets just say I don’t want to brag, is all). We’re here to help.

Someone sent in a link to Dan Savage’s latest Savage Love column, and it’s all about animals. Specifically, it’s about a 78-year old woman who pleasures her parakeet, and I don’t mean that in a euphemism-for-something-else kind of way. This is one of those lovely convergence stories that you really really (no, really) don’t see every day, and you wanna know the coolest part? Dan’s reply is predominantly about the health of the bird. The cage thing is still a bummer, but that’s some crazy budgie-jail action.

Behold Semenex – a patented supplement for men that’s designed to make them taste better, and if you’re not sure what I mean by that, then you really didn’t read the name of the product. What’s the secret set of ingredients? “Pineapple; Broccoli; Banana; Celery; Strawberry; Fructose; Cinnamon; Ginger; Nutmeg; Citric Acid; Vitamins B6, B12, and E; Calcium; Magnesium; Creatine; Selenium; and Zinc,” that’s what. While they claim that you can’t get the same benefits by just eating this kind of stuff, I’ve been inspired to start a new project. The VP “Better Tasting/Tasting Better” Cookbook will feature only recipes that focus on these ingredients (except maybe creatine; while it appears to be synthesized from vegan sources, it was doubtless tested on a bunch of animals, and anyway, I don’t really have any in my kitchen). Please submit your favourite recipes to cookbook at veganporn.com.

Supermarkets are getting ready for Valentine’s Day, which means they’ve got to stock up on all the aphrodisiac foods, which of course means… frozen peas. UK grocer Tesco is reporting that their researchers have come up with a list of foods with which to ignite the passions of the groin, and it’s full of stuff like onions, nuts, celery, and frozen peas. Oddly, there’s no mention of decaying corpses. It’s as if they’re not at all sexy or something.

Dave Noisy has found the best vegan advocacy message ever, and it’s from the Sunday Night Sex Show, and it’s Quicktime, so you might not want to play it at work, but if you can find a way to play it with omnivores nearby, the stuff is gold.
