Pamela Anderson | a Bad Spokesperson for PETA
August 23, 2008 by
PETA needs to re-think who they have as celebrity spokespeople. Wanting everyone in the world to conform to their "animals first" agenda, Peta should not consider the career choices of Pamela Anderson - or any other film/TV star- to be acceptable. Let's take a look
at a few of her activities (nothing inappropriate, I promise) and see how "animal friendly" they all are.
1. TV/Cinema/DVD/VHS Movies: Well, in order for any movie to be made these days, you have to use film. Film is made up of celluloid nitrates, polyester, and a couple other compounds. If you mix that stuff up in a bowl in your kitchen (not recommended kids) it won't turn into film. No, you have to have GELATIN to make it harden into the thin, transparent, flexible genius, that is Photographic Film. "So what ?"you ask. Gelatin is created by prolonged boiling of animal skin, connective tissue, or bones. It is used in Film, Foods, Medicine, Vitamins, Candy, etc. It's all over the place - and PETA stands against it's creation process.
2. Writing/Publishing: It seems Anderson has fancied herself a writer now. Albeit, not a very great one, but a writer nonetheless. I don't know where you get your books, but the ones I buy are held together by a little classroom friendly substance called, GLUE. This is historically referred to as protein colloids prepared from animal tissues. You guessed it, PETA stands against this as well.
3. M.A.C. Aids Fund: Wait! Why should PETA be upset with Anderson's involvement with the make-up giant, M.A.C? They don't do any animal testing, nor do they use animal bi-products in their merchandise. True. Pamela Anderson has teamed up with M.A.C to help raise a substantial amount of money to go towards Aids awareness/research and treatment. Let's take a look at the FDA approved drugs used in the treatment of HIV Infection. All of the manufacturers listed used animal testing as their primary resource for study on these medications. PETA would rather that testing be done on humans, or not at all.
