Question: Does Bono love animals?

[Yorn]

Sorry for my english.
I'm new and I'm Italian.
I have a question: Someone know if Bono loves animals?

Welcome to PLEBA

Yes, I think Bono does like animals. He has several pet dogs, and you can find several photos of them, in this thread:

Yeah...especially for dinner!

Joking! He has a dog or two.

 

[Yorn]

Wow! but don't he support some association for animals defence or something like that?

 

[kimby]

Well, there's always Greenpeace.
I think there was mention of an animal conservation group in an album liner note somewhere.

I would definitely think Bono loves and respects animals.

 

[Galeongirl]

Bono loves (and snogs) about anything with a pulse so yea.. I think he loves animals...

 

[Yorn]

I hope that Ali and Bono don't wears true fur or fur-coat!

 

[Galeongirl]

Bono is known for wearing sheepskin coats like this one, but that can't be counted as furr since sheep lose their wool deliberately

he does wear leather a lot

I can't remember ever seeing Ali in furrcoats

I can't remember ever seeing Ali in furrcoats

I've seen pics of her wearing fur from way back. I don't know if they're real though

I hope not. I can't stand fur wearing

 

[Galeongirl]

Somehow I don't think she would wear that... I mean, with all the ethically conscious clothing and such, Edun, her comment always is that she doesn't want to wear something made by other people's kids... I don't think she'd want to wear something where some animal has been murdered for, she's too much of a kind person to do that!

I think you're right, but who knows?

This is the pic I was referring to

 

[Yorn]

Oh my God!

I remember reading about a talk that Bono gave once where he introduced himself as "Bono, friend of dogs."

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

I think you're right, but who knows?

I think that may be Adam's 'fro.



I hope it's not real. I imagine Bono loves all God's creatures; he's just concentrating on the people variety at the moment with all his humanitarian work. But I don't personally know the guy, so . He could love dogs and be terrified of bears, I don't know. I remember he was fascinated by a squirrel once.

That looks pretty faux if you ask me.

 

[LMBLover]

So Bono is a dog person eh? I'm glad to hear that because cats

 

[Meghan]

Dunno about animal lover, but Bono's definately a sheep lover.

You keel me.

Are you serious? I haven't heard that one yet.

 

[Jeannieco]

Do you all remember the last page of U2 at the End of the World?
Not sure if I have all of this right but Bill was speaking to Bono's father and he mentioned this wonderful story of how Bono at the age of 5 would walk right up to a tree full of bees and pick them up on his fingers and never get stung!! He would talk to them...
He's a bee charmer too!
I love that story!

Rattle and Hum outtakes I believe... I still haven't had time to watch them all the way thru yet
