Pamela Anderson’s Explicit New Video

Sadly, however, this is a different sort of explicitness — it’s not the sensuousness of the human body that is exposed here, but the vileness of the human mind. Warning: The video on the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) website is highly disturbing.

Full text of Pamela Anderson’s plea:

You won’t find my new release at your local cinema. My latest project is "Kentucky Fried Cruelty," an undercover exposé blowing the whistle on the cruel treatment of animals at KFC’s factory farm and slaughterhouse suppliers. The video details just how horribly KFC treats chickens—birds are so crippled that they can’t even walk, live birds are forced into tanks of scalding-hot water while completely conscious and able to feel pain, and [in] Moorefield, West Virginia[,] slaughterhouse workers kill birds by slamming them against the wall and stomping on them!

I’m calling on consumers to "Kick the Bucket" and boycott KFC until the company agrees to make some simple improvements in the way it treats animals, but so far the company has done nothing to address the very worst abuses that chickens suffer at its factory farm and slaughterhouse suppliers. The world’s leading animal welfare experts have even weighed in, giving KFC detailed recommendations based on the latest research—but KFC has refused to listen to them. Until the company agrees to take animal welfare seriously, please sign the petition below [you can sign the petition here] to join me and other compassionate consumers everywhere in taking your business elsewhere.

Of course, the best thing that you can do to help animals is to stop eating them, so please consider trying a vegetarian diet—just like me. And if you don’t think animal cruelty is a strong enough argument for vegetarianism you might want to at least read up on how eating meat causes impotence. Eating meat clogs up the arteries going to all the organs, not just to the heart, if you catch my drift.

    The video is very disturbing but what disturbs me even more is why PETA chose a celebrity like Pamela Anderson to represent their cause. The last thing that an organization that wants to be heard and taken seriously should do is have someone like Pamela Anderson as their spokesperson. Her intentions may be well meaning but with vegans like Mary Tyler Moore and Natalie Portman around and affiliated with the organization PETA’S choice of Pamela Anderson as their celebrity voice is perplexing.

    Hey Marcus,

    Although I can see your point, I must part ways with you there.

    Pamela Anderson will catch the eye of many more people than either Mary Tyler Moore or Natalie Portman — and once they look at the horrific video they’ll realize that Anderson may bare her breasts here and there and she may overplay the sex kitten role, but that doesn’t prevent her from being a serious — and to the best of my knowledge quite devoted — spokesperson for animal rights.

    Personally, I take Pamela Anderson much more seriously than most political, social, and religious leaders out there.
