well, maybe she still is! Although, I don't condone animal abuse, I don't think she is going to get much credibility. It think, if she really wants to be a non-hypocrite, by, not wearing, using, cosuming, any product that has had animal testing, abuse, or just any killing of any animals altogether(including those furs, leather pants, medicines, silicone implants). You can look at PETA's website to try it. It is amazing the amount of products & medicines that have been made/discovered with the help or use of animals for testing. Sad when they are mistreated or abused though.

Pamela Anderson Takes Aim at KFC By ROGER ALFORD, Associated Press Writer

FRANKFORT, Ky. - Pamela Anderson is leading a charge to remove a bust of KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders from the state Capitol.

The actress called the Kentucky native's likeness "a monument to cruelty" to chickens in a statement issued by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the animal rights group.
The statement did little to ruffle feathers in Gov. Ernie Fletcher's office.
"Colonel Sanders was one of Kentucky's most distinguished citizens, a great entrepreneur and a fine charitable man of faith, and he certainly has a place in Kentucky history. We believe he warrants appropriate recognition as such," Fletcher spokeswoman Jodi Whitaker said.
Anderson has been involved in a campaign to raise awareness of conditions in processing plants that supply poultry to the Louisville-based chicken chain.
In a letter to Fletcher, Anderson detailed alleged abuses of chickens by KFC suppliers. Among her claims, she said workers in a slaughterhouse in West Virginia have been filmed tearing the heads off live birds, spitting tobacco in their eyes, spray-painting their faces and slamming them on the ground.
KFC spokeswoman Laurie Schalow called the move to oust the colonel "just another misguided publicity stunt by PETA in their attempt to create a vegan society."
