PAMELA ANDERSON GOES AFTER KFC

Pamela Anderson has written a heart-felt letter to the Russian partners of KFC, pleading with them to re-think their merger with the "cruel" company. Pammie wrote to Henrik Winther, the president of Rostik, to inform him about the American fast-food giant's barbaric treatment of chickens. She cited how KFC's suppliers breed chickens "to grow so top-heavy that they suffer heart attacks, lung failures, broken legs, and other crippling diseases and injuries. At slaughter, their throats are cut open and they are scalded to death - often while they are still conscious."The former 'Baywatch' star - who is an ardent animal rights activist - also urged Winther to watch her video at www.KentuckyFriedCruelty.com and pressurise KFC executives to put a stop to their cruel methods. In 2005, vegetarian Pammie teamed up with animal rights protestors in a boycott of KFC.The blonde narrated a 5-minute video produced by prominent animal rights group PETA documenting the mistreatment of chickens which eventually are served in the chain's eateries. She said at the time: "I'm asking people to boycott KFC until the company demands that its suppliers stop crippling chickens and scalding them alive."No animals should have to suffer this way, whether they're cats or dogs or chickens."

Pamela Anderson Peta Friendly

Pamela Anderson has apologised for wearing dead sheep on her feet.The former 'Baywatch' star says she has thrown away her favourite Ugg boots, because she didn't know they were made from shaved sheep skin. She wrote on her personal website: "I'm getting rid of my Uggs - I feel so guilty for that craze being started around my 'Baywatch' days. I used to wear them with my red swim suit to keep warm never realizing that they were SKIN! I thought they were shaved kindly."The mother-of-two, who is a staunch animal rights activist and member of PETA, is wracked with guilt over the fact that women the world over followed in her footsteps by wearing the animal pelt boots. She added: "People like to tell me all the time that I started that trend - yikes! Well let's start a new one. Do NOT buy Uggs! Buy Stella McCartney or juicy boots. I'm looking for alternatives myself for my boys and the men in my life!"I'm designing some right now for my family and will try and have some available on my website soon."Pam is disgusted she has worn her boots for so long, writing: "It's what I grab by my door in the mornings to bring my kids to school or walk my dog on the beach at 6am or anything early. I've definitely over used them - and that's it!!!!"

HEATHER MILLS UPSET PETA DROPED HER

Beatles Paul McCartney And Heather Mills

Heather Mills was devastated when animal rights group PETA dumped her without telling her.The former model was dropped by PETA earlier this month when Mary McCartney (left), the photographer daughter of Heather's estranged husband Sir Paul, threatened to stop working with them. Heather only found out about their decision when a friend told her. She said in an interview with US TV show 'Extra' : "My girlfriend called me,that's how I first heard, and said, 'I'm really, really sorry to hear the bad news.'"I was just shocked. I thought, 'Oh, God, what is this?' I felt really,really sad about it. They didn't send me a letter or call me up saying, 'We don't wish to work with you anymore.' "Mary told the organisation she would only continue working on their 'I would rather go naked that wear fur campaign' if they severed their ties with her estranged step-mother. A source said: "Mary was eager to take photographs for PETA, which she has done in the past, but wanted assurances that Heather no longer represented the group."Before Heather's split from Paul last year, the blonde regularly worked for PETA, protesting against Canadian seal culling and the fur trade. Heather, 39, even stripped off for PETA's 2007 calendar, but the photographs were dropped after her bitter divorce battle began.
