			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bombshell-turned-butterhead Pamela Anderson is trying to save seals from the annual hunt on Canada’s East Coast. The Canadian-born actress and animal rights activist is among several celebrities who are taking part in an ad campaign by <a href="http://www.peta.org/feat-Seal-Pamela-Anderson.asp">PETA</a>. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/pamela-anderson-peta-save-the-seals-campaign/pamela-anderson-peta-seal-ad-photo/" rel="attachment wp-att-75764"><img src="http://www.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Pamela-Anderson-PETA-Seal-Ad-Photo-500x707.jpg" alt="Pamela Anderson PETA Seal Ad Photo" title="Pamela Anderson PETA Seal Ad Photo" width="500" height="707" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-75764" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-75763"></span></p>
<p>On Friday, Pam &#8212; who also worked with PETA on a campaign to bring down Kentucky Fried Chicken &#8212; visited the Ontario provincial legislature on Frday to introduce <a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/peta-save-the-seals-celebrity-ad-campaign/">the new ads</a>, which also Kelly Osbourne, Brody Jenner, and Holly Madison. PETA says the ads will appear in entertainment magazines and will be tweeted in many languages this fall, in a bid to keep pressure on the Canadian government.</p>
<p>Canada’s East Coast seal hunt is the largest in the world, killing an average of 300,000 harp seals a year. Canada&#8217;s indigenous Inuit community says the seal hunt provides crucial jobs and food for villagers in isolated communities in nothern Canada.</p>
<p>Pam was joined at the launch by members of PETA, including a protester dressed as a seal. She told the TV show Canada AM that the annual seal hunt is “barbaric and cruel” and “an embarrassment” to her native country.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Dancing With The Stars</em> contestant Kelly Osbourne is among the celebs speaking out against the annual massacre of baby seals in a new campaign for the zealots at People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals.<br />

<em>&#8220;The saddest thing for me is just knowing baby seals, some of [whom] have not even had their first meal, are going to be killed, and most of them are probably still alive when they&#8217;re skinning them. And there are no laws, nothing to stop them, so it&#8217;s just going to get worse,&#8221;</em> Kelly says.</p>
<p>The print ads also feature <em>The Hills&#8217;</em> Brody Jenner and Jayde Nicole, <em>90210 </em>star Jennie Garth, former <em>Girl Next Door</em> Holly Madison, <em>CSI</em> actress Jorja Fox, and others.

<p>The overzealous crackpots with animal rights group PETA are on the warpath after catching a glimpse of Paris&#8217; new mini-pig, Miss Piglette, who was formally introduced to us by way of Paris&#8217; Twitter page last Friday.<br />
<span id="more-74330"></span><br />
According to <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/10/13/paris-hilton-peta-pigs-animals/#ixzz0TqkZeYQR">TMZ.com</a>, Hilton&#8217;s latest addition has angered the group, who have branded Paris <em>&#8220;wretched example&#8221; </em>to her young fans for treating her pets like they&#8217;re <em>&#8220;as disposable as her friends.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>PETA says of Paris:<em> &#8220;The Chihuahuas, ferrets, and kinkajous she&#8217;s paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren&#8217;t either.&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Dancing With The Stars</em> nixed the idea of putting a chimp on the show after PETA went apeshit at the possibility.<br />
<a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/dancing-with-the-stars-season-6-cast-revealed/400_dancingwiththestars_judges_080218_abc_bdamicojpg/" rel="attachment wp-att-13565"><img src="http://www.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/400_dancingwiththestars_judges_080218_abc_bdamico.jpg" alt="400_dancingwiththestars_judges_080218_abc_bdamico.jpg" title="400_dancingwiththestars_judges_080218_abc_bdamico.jpg" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-13565" /></a></p>
<p>On Monday’s installment of <em>Dancing With The Stars</em>, Tom Bergeron said a chimpanzee would appear on Tuesday’s live results show as a mock &#8220;guest judge&#8221; alongside regulars Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Len Goodman in the segment where various people tried to predict the winner. The chimp was edited out after the animal rights organization rattled ABC&#8217;s cage and contacted producers.<br />
<span id="more-73889"></span><br />
According to PETA <em>“several organizations, including PETA, Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, and International Primate Protection League, contacted the show’s executive producer, Conrad Green, to try to convince him not to air the segment” because “workers tear captive baby chimpanzees away from their mothers and beat them in order to force them to perform.”</em></p>
<p>Executive producer Conrad Green responded to PETA officials in an e-mail message, according to a report in <em>Variety: &#8220;I do appreciate your point that showing a chimpanzee on our show may indirectly lead to other chimpanzees being ill-treated in the future.&#8221;</em></p>

<p>The stunning 31-year-old stopped wearing fur after watching footage of baby seals being killed for their pelts.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I did wear fur, especially when I was growing up in the Ukraine,&#8221;</em> the fancy-footed beauty reveals in an interview with PETA. <em>&#8220;But there are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel.&#8221;  </em></p>
<p>Smirnoff joins a growing list of celebrities&#8211;including Christina Applegate, Sophie Monk, Khloe Kardashian, Nia Long, and Kimora Lee Simmons &#8211;who have starred in PETA&#8217;s anti-fur ad campaign. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>U.S. airport officials have banned a new animal rights commercial featuring former<em> Baywatch</em> babe Pamela Anderson. Advertising chiefs for controversial animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) filmed a promo entitled &#8220;<a href="http://www.peta.org/crueltydoesntfly/default.asp?c=pcdfec09">Cruelty Doesn&#8217;t Fly</a>,&#8221; in which the buxom star appears as a scantily-clad airport security guard who strips passengers of fur and leather. The ad was due to be shown at three New York City airports this week, before debuting nationwide, but authorities pulled the plug on the promo over fears the that the sexy message will offend passengers.</p>

<strong>VIDEO Slightly NSFW!</strong></p>
<p>According to <em>The NY Post&#8217;s</em> PageSix Column, a representative for CNN Airport Network penned a letter to PETA bosses complaining the commercial is <em>“particularly sensitive because children make up part of the demographic in airports.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The animal rights group is now hoping to show the film on in-flight entertainment.</p>
<p>What do you think, guys? Is this ad too hot for airport TV?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) is being taken to task over its ethical treatment of people. A billboard that went up alongside Atlantic Boulevard in Jacksonville, Florida last week has created quite a stir. Like all PETA campaigns, the ad was creating to spark debate. </p>
<p>The ad in question shows the midsection of an overweight woman in a bikini and reads: <em>&#8220;Save the Whales. Lose the blubber. Go vegetarian.&#8221;</em> According to PETA bosses, if you&#8217;re struggling to lose weight, going vegetarian can help you shed the pounds.</p>
<p>Classy.</p>

<a href='http://www.popcrunch.com/peta-overweightobesity-billboard-removed-after-sparking-outrage/peta-fat-billboard/' title='peta-fat-billboard'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/peta-fat-billboard-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="" title="peta-fat-billboard" /></a>

<p>The controversial animal rights group is defending the billboard &#8212; which has since been removed &#8212; but a lot of people found its presence offensive, including The Obesity Society, which had this to say about PETA&#8217;s current campaign.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;This ad is an unmistakable example of stigma and prejudice against individuals who are overweight and obese. The campaign is disrespectful and offensive, and is not an effective or appropriate way to encourage vegetarianism or healthy eating behaviors,&#8221;</em> the organization said in statement last week. <em>&#8220;The Obesity Society opposes weight bias and discrimination in all forms, and calls on PETA to remove the billboard and ensure that stigmatizing messages are absent from future campaigns. The prevalence of weight discrimination in the United States has increased by 66 percent in the past decade, and is now on par with rates of racial discrimination.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>David Martosko, director of research at the Center for Consumer Freedom, agrees, saying: <em>“PETA’s ad is meant to feed off the insecurities of the body-conscious in order to promote meatless eating, regardless of the humiliation it may cause. The group has consistently promoted a message of animal ‘rights’ with total disregard to the human cruelty it causes. To equate any person (regardless of size) with a whale, or any other animal, is mean-spirited, cruel, and ugly.” </em></p>
<p>A PETA spokesperson says the group knew that people might be offended, but felt the &#8220;Save a Whale&#8221; campaign was the most effective way to promote their message of &#8220;Vegetarianism For Everyone.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Our goal was really to encourage people to live healthier lives and, of course, as an animal rights group, to save animals at the same time,&#8221;</em> PETA spokeswoman Lindsay Rajt told WCTV on Wednesday.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Trying to hide your thunder thighs and balloon belly is no day at the beach,&#8221;</em> PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman curtly remarked.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Controversial animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have fired off a series of fuming letters to actors Adam Sandler, Cher, Rosario Dawson, and Sylvester Stallone over the treatment of animals on the set of their upcoming comedy, <em>The Zookeeper</em>. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/peta-slams-the-zookeeper/peta-vs-the-zookeeper-movie/" rel="attachment wp-att-67485"><img src="http://www.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/peta-vs-the-zookeeper-movie-500x250.jpg" alt="peta-vs-the-zookeeper-movie" title="peta-vs-the-zookeeper-movie" width="500" height="250" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-67485" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-67481"></span><br />
The film &#8212; currently in pre-production &#8212; will star Kevin James as an unlucky-in-love zoo worker, who secretly falls for a  co-worker, portrayed by Rosario Dawson. The film will feature a number of exotic animals &#8212; voiced by Cher, Sandler, and Stallone &#8212; who coach him through his quest for her love.</p>
<p>PETA bosses are furious that Sandler&#8217;s Happy Madison production company hired animal trainers from California for the shoot at Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, Massachusetts &#8211; claiming the company has a history of neglecting animals. According to PETA, Gary Gero’s Birds &#038; Animals Unlimited has been cited by the US Department of Agriculture for “numerous animal welfare violations.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;We’re hoping to enlist the film’s stars to keep cruelty off the set. Exotic animals used as involuntary ‘actors’ are routinely subjected to rigorous and abusive training methods to coerce them into performing acts that are stressful, uncomfortable, confusing and even painful,&#8221;</em> says PETA spokeswoman Amanda Schinke.</p>
<p>A rep for Gary Gero’s has fired back at PETA, branding the organization irrational and misinformed: <em>&#8220;When we did (1989 movie) Batman, PETA said our penguins should have been kept cold, they were from South Africa! They don’t do their research and there’s nothing that can be said to change their minds. We’ve been in the business 45 years, we’re highly respected. We know our animals are well-treated and well-cared for and we can sleep very well at night.”</em></p>
