- Busty ex-Baywatch Babe Blasts Animal Acts: Pamela Anderson
Lee, a member in good standing of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, wrote a letter to the National
Association of Television Program Executives urging the organization
to ban traveling animal acts such as that of Jack Hanna who makes frequent
appearances on late night talk shows. In her letter, Lee says she
"refuses to be a party to their [animals] suffering." Someone might
want to mention to Lee the large number of animals that have been killed
testing silicone implants.
- According to an email posted on an animal rights mailing list, PETA’s
Jane Garrison was arrested on Jan. 26 for trespassing at a private lake
where coots, small migratory birds, were being poisoned and trapped
by a local home owners association. The association obtained a permit
from the California Department of Fish and Game to kill up to 200 coots
which were eating the grass and defecating on the property.
- What will PETA do now? According to a Wall Street Journal report,
almost all film sold in the United States contains ground up animal
parts (bones from dead cows are ground up to create gelatin used in
the film). I guess PETA will be on the lookout for vegan film for its
next photo that purport to show animal cruelty.
