Vegetarian Star

Kristy Lee Cook has taken heat from animal lovers for her new TV show about hunting. But in all fairness, we have to report on the animal and vegetarian lifestyle friendly activities she does as well.

The former American Idol finalist founded a horse rescue organization, the KLC Horse Heaven Foundation, that enriches the lives of horses and people through three different divisions: the Free’d Spirit program, Hors’n Around program and the Natures Wild Adventures program.

The Free’d Spirit program purchases horse from people who either can no longer take care of the animals or rescues them from abuse or neglect situations. The program includes rescuing horses from race tracks once they are deemed too old to compete.

Kristy Lee Cook has already drawn the ire of PETA after news that she’s starring in a new hunting show called Goin’ Country. The former American Idol finalist fired back–this time with words and not a rifle.

“Instead of angering thousands of would-be fans by killing helpless animals on camera in attempt to get her ’15 Minutes of Shame,’ Kristy Lee Cook’s fame crusade would be better served by following in the footsteps of fellow Idol alum-turned-country-stars Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler—as well as Simon Cowell—all of whom have used their fame and talent to speak up for animals,” said a spokesperson from PETA.

Cook isn’t taking the criticism sitting down and has responded by claiming hunters do more for conservation than any other group.

A former American Idol contestant who wowed the crowds with her southern croons won’t be following the steps of fellow country music star and American Idol alumnus Carrie Underwood.

Kristy Lee Cook is the star of a new hunting television show, Goin’ Country, on the Versus channel where cameras shoot her as she shoots any creature that looks potentially tasty.

Recently Goldilocks shot the bear who was eating her grains and messing with her horses. She never found him on her bed, though.

“That bear had been causing trouble for five nights, eating grain and spooking my horses. He was making a mess of the whole barn,” Cook said, according to Fox News. “One night I was walking in the house and I saw something standing in the door of my barn and I got him in one shot.”
