Paul McCartney: 'Just say no to turkey'

Paul McCartney has leant his celebrity to animal rights group PETA's Christmas campaign urging people to go vegetarian for the holidays, NME reports.

The ex-Beatle is appearing in a series of print ads wearing a t-shirt that reads 'eat no turkey' beside the slogans "Say no, thanks to turkey" and "celebrate life this holiday season, go vegetarian."

He also recorded a voice over for a campaign video offering alternatives to the traditional Christmas turkey. "We eat a veggie roast at home, so if we have traditional moments like Christmas," he says. "The roast is perfect. It's completely vegetarian, but I can slice it, so I can do all my traditional dad things. We can do our family stuff with it, and it's delicious, so I much prefer that to my memory of turkey."
