Famous vegetarian Paul McCartney has said in an interview with schools publication The Newspaper that Disney films played a part in his moulding his views on animals, their rights, and not eating them, saying: "If you think of Bambi, its mum gets killed by a hunter, and I think that made me grow-up thinking hunting isn't cool. It always gave me that idea.
He continued: "You look through a lot of these great stories, Dumbo, his mum is quite badly treated, A lot of these classic stories, through their efforts, kids, as I once was, have grown up feeling it's a bad idea to be cruel to animals."
McCartney, 63, is a musician and songwriter from Liverpool, who first found fame with sixties buzz band The Beatles.
