During another typically bizarre day for Heather Mills, the former model yesterday urged people to try drinking milk from rats and dogs to help save the planet.
Media-shy Heather started off by storming out of a radio interview with London's LBC station.
She then drove a gas-guzzling Mercedes 4x4 to Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park to speak about ecological matters - and kept the engine running for part of the morning.
Once there she proceeded to launch into an extraordinary ecological rant and exhorted the assembled crowds to try drinking rat's milk instead of cow's milk in a bid to save the planet from deforestation for livestock.
She said that livestock created far more carbon emissions than transport, so we should go vegan - someone who eats no meat or dairy produce - or at least find something else to put in tea or coffee.
At Speakers Corner in Hyde Park she said: "There are many other kinds of milk available. Why don't we try drinking rats' milk and dogs' milk?"
Vegan Mills was supposed to be launching a poster campaign for an animal welfare charity.
Yet some observers couldn't help wondering if Heather Mills had a different aim in mind - embarrassing her estranged husband Sir Paul McCartney.
For the billboard posters she unveiled yesterday were initially covered over by adverts for the National Domestic Violence Helpline featuring a woman with a black eye.
Miss Mills has previously claimed that she was assaulted by the former Beatle during their marriage.
Last year she even hinted that she was applying for an occupation order, which is commonly used in domestic violence cases to decide who keeps the family home.
Last night animal charity Viva! insisted it was merely a coincidence that its billboards had been covered up by the domestic violence posters.
A spokesman said: "They were for an old campaign that is nothing to do with us."
The violence posters were eventually removed to reveal the Viva! billboards featuring Miss Mills, which accuse the meat and dairy industry of helping to fuel global warming.
But still the 39-year- old former model wasn't clear of controversy. She provoked accusations of hypocrisy after she arrived at the launch at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park in a gas-guzzling Mercedes 4x4 - and kept the engine running for part of the morning.
One of the posters features Miss Mills writhing in a gold sequinned dress with the slogan: "Hey Meaty, you're making me so hot!"
The second poster shows Miss Mills - whose leg was amputated after a motorbike hit her as she crossed a street - sending herself up with the logo: "You haven't got a leg to stand on!"
The slogan is aimed at those who claim to be environmentally-aware but also eat meat.
Viva! director Juliet Gellatley said: "Meat and dairy animals are the second biggest cause of greenhouse gases at 18 per cent compared to 13.5 per cent from all the world's different modes of transport combined."
Earlier, Miss Mills had stormed out of an interview with Nick Ferrari on LBC radio. Things got off to a bad start when Ferrari asked her about TV and magazine interviews in which she complained about her treatment by the media and said her marriage had driven her to the brink of suicide.
Miss Mills retorted: "Shall I fall asleep now or do you want to get on with talking about global warming?" before making snoring noises.
She added: "You don't know me as a person. To have an opinion about somebody you've never met before is pretty superficial."
Ferrari responded: "I can have an opinion on murderers, on corrupt politicians. I don't have to meet them all."
And Miss Mills hit back: "I am not a murderer or a paedophile. I am a charity campaigner. To put me in the same bracket as those is exactly why I've been treated like one."
After several more clashes, Miss Mills said: "Just cut him off" and walked out.

Why doesn’t she stop taking hard drugs? That’s assuming that’s the source of this weirdness, of course. There’s also the scary possibility that she’s saying these things while sober.
Just another example of celebrities making total idiots of themselves. The sad thing is their celebrity status gives them recognition. If any of the rest of us made such idiotic rants we would deemed nuts and certainly ignored in the media.
To say nothing of the teeny tiny little stools and the teeny tiny little pails.
Jeez, Sir Paul married that?
Was he still so undone by grief over his beloved Linda when Heather caught him in a weak moment?
It always seemed to me that Heather’s only interest in Paul was to ride him and his fortune in service to her causes.
I know Paul went vegan when he met Linda. And it certainly seemed to work for him, he’s always looked damn good for his age. Although this wasn’t always the case—recall the lads smoking like chimneys in “Hard Day’s Night.”
She sounds like “Lucy in the sky with diamonds” about to board the “yellow submarine” to head out “across the universe”. Instead she should take “the long and winding road” and just “let it be”...
Seems the question has her stumped.
Loony b*tch.
On my family farm, in Michigan, we used to milk our cat.
The little runt of the litter, Jepedo, that was his name, couldn’t eat so we took the cat’s little teat and put the milk in a saucer.
...I have nipples Folker, can you milk me?
Let her do it, I will personally give out 5 carbon credits for each gallon of rat’s milk she consumes with her eco-flakes.
now that was funny
What’s the butterfat content, Kenneth?
elicious Cat Milk
Cats milk has long been a popular gourmet food in eastern Europe and it is a highly-prized and precious commodity.
Cat milk always has a smooth finish and often has subtle seafood undertones, making cat milk a prized delicacy all across Europe.
With cat’s milks robust undertones, cat milk is now joining the gourmet scene as one of the most coveted treats on the world. Let’s take a closer look at cat milk and see why cat milk is taking the world by storm.
More teats, more milk
In the dairy industry it has long been observed that cats have double the teats of cows, hence twice the source of pure cat milk:
Breed Number of teats
horses 2 teats
cows 4 teats
cats 8 teats
dogs 10 teats
The cat milk craze can be traced to the Middle Ages when drinking cats milk was a sign of being erudite and showed that you had veracity and the patience to milk the cats. Infinitely varied, cat milk is heavily influenced by breed, and cats milk from Siamese cats is the most highly prized, while the milk of larger cats (Tigers & Lions) has a more robust flavor.
Mayor Quimby: [to Fat Tony] Rats? You promised me dog or higher.
The best milk comes from happy rats.
And happy rats come from California.
“These people are out of their minds! Milk rats?! Use one square of toilet paper?! Ride a horse to work?! Oh, not them, though! They’ll still be flying in private jets, living in 30,000 square foot mansions and driving big SUVs! No, these idiotic ideas are for us little people, the peons.”
I’m sure Babs is hanging all her clothes out to dry on her clothesline in the back yard. Of course she practices what she preaches. sarc/off
I think he must have found a forgotten stash of LSD one day, and then, after he realized what he married...
