Loretta Swit will guest star on the AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio broadcast of Animal Radio on May 8 at Noon EST and then rebroadcast on May 9 at 5PM EST.

The vegetarian actress best known for her role as Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan on M*A*S*H, is speaking out about the recent decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down a law that would have made it illegal to market animal crush videos, films depicting animals being…well, crushed.

“These videos are usually sexual in nature and some pervert will buy them to get his gillie out of,” said Swit.

“It’s horrendous the imagination that would conjure up such an evil thing.”

Swit’s own pets live a life far from the animals in the videos, as she has animals with wheelchairs because they’re so old.

And she will talk to fans wearing fur coats about their decisions.

“It’s all about education. If someone comes up to me for an autograph and they’re wearing a fur-coat, before I sign, I will educate. Because sometimes, they simply don’t know 80 animals died for that coat.”

Farm Sanctuary, an organization created to combat issues of animal abuse on farms,  will be holding a benefit on December 4th, 2008 at the Art Director’s Club in New York City.

“Winter Wonderland,” will feature gourmet food from NYC’s best vegetarian restaurants, a silent auction, and of course, celebrities to mingle with, like Corey Feldman.

Sure hope he’s wearing more than what he was in the Give Peas a Chance ad, which played upon one John Lennon and Yoko Ono did years ago. New York’s a little cold in December for that, Corey.

Other notables you might get to rub elbows with are Jennifer Coolidge, Peter Max, Patrick McDonnell, Tatum O’Neal,
Daniela Sea, Ally Sheedy, Princess Superstar, Loretta Swit, and
Justin Theroux.

General admission tickets are $100, so if you’re a young, freshly graduated from college adult or pinching pennies, put some back from your paycheck you got TODAY. It’s for a great cause and will put you in the mood for the season.

And who knows? Corey might not be wearing much after all.

For more information, visit the Farm Sanctuary website.
