PETA offers free pro-vegan Prince song

LOS ANGELES — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is celebrating Prince’s birthday with a free download of his pro-vegan song, Animal Kingdom.

PETA said Friday the song will be available through Prince’s June 7 birthday to highlight the late singer’s longtime support of animal rights. Prince, who would have turned 58 next week, donated the song to PETA for its 20th anniversary in 1999.

The song includes the lyrics, “We’re all members of the animal kingdom. Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea.”

Autopsy results released Thursday show Prince’s April 21 death was from an accidental overdose of the prescription painkiller fentanyl.

Prince’s ex-wife Mayte Garcia is working with PETA to encourage Prince fans to celebrate his birthday by “go(ing) vegan to see how much better they feel and to honor his kind legacy.”
