Anoop Desai walked the plank on American Idol this week because he didn’t receive enough votes.

But just because he didn’t win American Idol, doesn’t mean he’s not being drafted by companies to be a spokesperson.

PETA India thinks Anoop would be perfect to front a campaign on getting pets spayed and neutered.

The group is  asking him to appear in a video supporting its Animal Birth Control (ABC) campaign to “implement humane methods of controlling companion animal populations in slums” in India.

Said N G Jayasimha, campaign manager of PETA India, to IANS:

“Anoop Desai is a huge hit in India because of being an Indian. He is an inspiration. There are sentiments of Indians associated with him and we want him to join the cause like previous ‘American Idol’ Vanessa Olivarez, Kellie Pickler and Ruben Studdard as well as judge Simon Cowell in using his celebrity status to help PETA help animals.”

“We want him to speak up for the dogs on the streets, as they really suffer a lot and need a voice. Though he is now out of the show, but he still has a huge appeal and fan following and we are hoping to ride on that,” he added.

Although we were hoping Anoop would follow his immigrant parents’ vegetarian diet, being an advocate for animals will keep him from being eliminated with our votes.

American Idol Finalist Anoop Desai Had Vegetarian Past

American Idol Top 13 Party

What is it with all these folks coming over to America and ditching their veggie ways?

First, we were saddened to learn that Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi slowly started to eat “bologna” and “pepperoni pizza” as a teenager, then progressed to full blown Hardee’s Bacon Western Thickburger spokseperson.

Now, we learn a finalist on this season’s “American Idol”, Anoop Desai, was “raised by family of vegetarian immigrants,” but assimilated himself to become a “typical American kid who eats typical American food.”

Uh-oh. And you know what “typical” is.

One of his family members said, “But he has a lot of discipline, and though he enjoys food greatly, we have never seen him overeat.”

Desai was a lucky man after being asked to come back to the show on a “wildcard” in a previously unannounced 13th spot.

Maybe if he wins, he’ll get back into the club with Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and the off the wagon, trying to get back on it Ruben Studdard.
