Vegetarian Star

Kim Basinger, actress, vegetarian and animal rights’ activist, has written a letter to Russia’s president Vladimir Putin, asking him to release whales being held in captivity in the country.

A recent decision by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ceased the importation of Russian beluga whales to the Georgia Aquarium and its Seaworld Affiliates.

Basinger wants Putin to take what she feels is the next natural step in animal welfare progression and release the whales in his country into the wild.

Kim Basinger, veteran actress and animal advocate, was one of the first celebrities to star in a “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” ad.

“Beauty is not about wearing someone else’s coat,” the ad read.

Kim recently sent a letter to Chinese designer Luo Zheng, urging Luo to see the horror of using fur in fashion.

“As you may know, this is an issue that is very dear to my heart,” writes Kim. “I have avoided wearing real fur for many years ….”

“PETA’s heartrending investigations have documented that animals, including dogs and cats, are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, strangled with wire nooses, and skinned alive. Workers have been caught beating raccoons, dogs and foxes with metal rods and leaving them to convulse on the ground. Some animals are injured but still completely conscious as they are skinned, and they kick and writhe as their skin is ripped from their bodies.”

Basinger has the right idea about beauty.

Most men would definitely rather see a naked woman than one covered in a fur coat.

Take a cue from Kim and keep your closet fur-free.

Pamela Anderson will be the guest of honor at Animal Rights Foundation of Florida’s 20th Anniversary Gala on March 14 at the Broward County Convention Center in Miami, Florida.

Hopefully, she’ll be wearing more clothes than this that night.

The event will be hosted by vegetarian and animal lover Bob Barker and guests such as famous vegan Dr. Neal Barnard and Ingrid Newkirk will be able to chow down on delicious vegan grub.

The Animal Rights Foundation of Florida (ARFF) is celebrating 20 years looking out for Florida’s non human critters through education and appearances throughout the community.

Although everybody will come for the food (or in hopes Pamela Anderson will show up half naked), besides that, there will be silent and live auctions for items such as an autographed poster of Kim Basinger’s L.A. Confidential poster.

Tickets are $250 per person and all proceeds from the gala go to the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida.
