Pamela for PETA!

Pamela Anderson is an active member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). She has taken part in several campaigns for animal rights. When Pamela Anderson was in her early teens, she became aware of animal cruelty after she saw her father cleaning an animal he had hunted. From then on she had become a vegetarian and stood up for animal rights.

One of Pamela Anderson’s campaigns as a member of PETA has been against the use of fur. In 1999, Anderson received the first Linda McCartney Memorial award for animal rights protectors, in recognition of her campaign. In 2003, Anderson stripped down for PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" advertising campaign. On June 28, 2006, Anderson posed naked with other protesters on a window display of the Stella McCartney boutique in London. It was a PETA gala event before the PETA Humanitarian Awards. Anderson went inside the boutique and said she would take her clothes off if the event raised enough money for PETA. This was a success.

PETA is known for its outrageous videos and shocking ads, and they've recently released a new video with Pamela Andersen as an airport security where she violently strips down people from wearing animal products.
