Pamela Anderson! What is the first thing that
comes to mind when you hear the name Pamela Anderson? Bimbo? Party Girl?
Bombshell? Well two out of three ain't bad! I don't think she's a bimbo...not
by any stretch of the imagination. For all of her partying image and all things
blonde, she is nonetheless a devoted humanitarian.
Sure, people know that Pam is closely associated
with the organization, PETA and does not wear fur. But surprise, surprise. Pam
wears UGGS, those horrible, big, floppy furry boots which are indeed made from
animal fur. To Pam's credit, once she realized this, she made a plea to her
fans, and everyone, to stop wearing them. No problem for me. I think they're
hideous in addition to supporting animal cruelty.
What a lot of people may not know about Pam
Anderson, in addition to her marriages to Tommy Lee, and Kid Rock and her
numerous affairs, is just how passionate she truly is about the welfare of
animals. This is not a new passion for her either. This is not phony Hollywood
hype. Apparently Pam has been a devoted animal lover and protector of animals
since early childhood.
Among Pam's other causes are the inhumane ways
that chickens are slaughtered by Kentucky Fried Chicken's suppliers. Pam
recently faxed a letter to the US Postal Service imploring them not to issue a
proposed new stamp in honor of Colonel Sanders. Pam's fax exposes the rampant
abuse taking place in slaughterhouses today and her impassioned plea for
kindness to these animals is one that should be echoed by all citizens.
Allegedly KFC refuses to take animal welfare seriously. Pam is trying to change
this.
Pam has also been instrumental in getting the
juice maker POM to call off its horribly inhumane testing practices. It was Pam
vs. POM and fortunately for the animals, Pam and PETA won.
Why bother to care about mice or other rodents
you might ask. Read the words of these noble humans and then ask yourself the
question again.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral
progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." Gandhi
"The question is not, can they reason? Nor,
can they talk? But can they suffer? Jeremy Bentham
"He who is cruel to animals becomes hard
also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment
of animals." Immanuel Kant
"Every year tens of thousands of animals
suffer and die in laboratory tests of cosmetics and household
products...despite the fact that the test results do not help prevent or treat
accidental or purposeful misuse of the products. Please join me in using your
voice for those whose cries are forever sealed behind the laboratory
doors." Woody Harrelson
Pamela Anderson deserves her place in history.
Not as a blonde bombshell, or the woman with the most Playboy covers, or
possibly the most downloaded beauty on the internet or for her failed
marriages. She deserves her place in history for her humanitarian efforts, for
speaking for those who have no voice, for her caring and compassion and for
being proactive in her beliefs.
We can all take a page out of Pamela's book. She
is an absolutely beautiful woman, both inside and out!
