Pamela Anderson PETA Activity
Pamela Anderson is confirmed vegetarian, an animal activist and a committed
member of the animal protection group, People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (PETA). She got together with PETA to assist them in checking cruelty to
animals and the sale of coats made from animal fur. In order to create these fur
coats, the animals are tortured and killed using electric shock and gas. They
are trammeled, drowned, have their necks twisted in imprisonment or are beaten
to death in the wilderness.
Anderson was feted with the Linda McCartney Memorial Award for defenders of
animal rights, in 1999. Pamela received this award for her sustained crusade
against fur. She issued a letter in favor of PETA’s anti-Kentucky Fried Chicken
crusade declaring that the treatment meted out to 750 million chickens every
year was neither humane nor tolerable. Later on she produced a video on KFC’s
handling of chickens. Anderson shed her clothes in 2003 in support of PETA’s
“I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” publicity campaign.
PETA is appealing customers to shun KFC (Kentucky fried chicken) till the
company takes adequate measures to alleviate the suffering of the chickens.
Hitherto the company hasn’t taken any steps to tackle the terrible cruelty
suffered by the chickens at its factory farms and abattoir contractors.
International animal welfare authorities have given scientific suggestions
founded on their concerted research to KFC—but all in vain.
Anderson’s plea to the Governor of Kentucky in January 2006, for the removal
of Colonel Sander’s (founder of KFC) bust from exhibition was denied, albeit
Pamela offering her own statue in return. Pamela determinedly spurned the
Kentucky Derby in February 2006, because it backed KFC. When in March 2006,
Anderson requested to talk to Prime Minister Stephen Harper regarding the yearly
seal hunt her request was rejected.
