Hayden And Pamela: Leather Blind Leading Leather Blind
Written by Vegetarian Star on November 27th, 2008 in Actresses, Not So Vegetarian.
The cheerleader from “Heroes,” Hayden Panettiere, who is rumored to be dating Milo Ventimiglia, has ruffled some feathers (fake ones of course) ever since the news broke of her decision to design handbags with Dooney & Bourke made from calf skin.
The vegetarian actress has been very outspoken on animal rights issues, such as saving whales from Japanese hunters who capture them for research purposes, so it was quite a shock to hear she’s using animals for fashion purposes.
Peta is using the opportunity to educate Hayden and made the following statement via media rep Heather Carlson:
“When celebrities get involved with animal rights in any way, we’re happy to work with them. Even if it’s on just one issue. Hayden has been wonderful on issues involving the slaughter of dolphins and whales. We are sure that she’ll extend her concern for abused animals to those less popular, like cows who are skinned for bags and shoes, once she sees our undercover footage, which we’ll be sending to her.”
Interestingly enough, the video is narrated by Pamela Anderson, who just signed a deal to promote fashions with Vivienne Westwood, who although stopped using fur, still uses leather in her creations.
Is this the leather blind leading the leather blind?
Guess Leona Lewis is one of the only true celebrity vegetarians who doesn’t eat meat or wear it.

Leona Lewis carries leather bags. When it comes down to it, very few of the actresses that shill for PETA actually live out the veg*n thing full time. Same goes for Ron Howard’s daughter–she claims to be a long time vegan, but in a magazine shoot, she was wearing silk and leather. They’re all fakes.

Leona Lewis does not carry leather bags. Anything she carries that looks like leather is vinyl or some other fake leather.
And Bryce Dallas Howard stopped being vegan when she got pregnant, but she’s still vegetarian.
