A 71 year old woman is seriously kicking Barack Obama‘s butt.

Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands has announced she’s giving up meat one day a week and has promised to no longer serve foie gras at Royal Banquets.

Go Queen Beatrix!

In addition, the Dutch government has announced plans to spend €6 million spend to help reduce meat consumption and fight global warming.

President of the United States, Barack Obama, has been asked to initiate a Meat Free Monday at the White House.

Pictured here, Marianne Thieme (Dutch Member of Parliament for the ‘Party for Animals’) wore a “Meat Free Mondays” hat to a costume ball held by Queen Beatrix as part of the annual “Prinsjesdag” celebrations.

Ahem…Obama, it’s now you’re turn.

Dutch police have released Peter Janssen, otherwise known as the “vegan streaker.”

Janssen was arrested last week after police received a tip that he was planning to attack Queen Beatrix of Holland because she wears fur.

The 24 year old animal rights activists earned his named as the “vegan streaker” after he made a surprise appearance on a Dutch television show wearing only black briefs and anti-meat slogans painted on his body.

He was released after authorities determined they did not have sufficient evidence to keep him in custody.

A statement said: “The investigation by the national detectives unit has so far not yielded any evidence.”

Janssen is denying the allegations and says he plans to launch a lawsuit for wrongful arrest.

Queen Beatrix has been in the news about fur before when Pamela Anderson wrote a letter asking her to ban it from Holland.

Pamela Anderson - Tutti Pazzi per la Tele

Ooh, Kid Rock’s gonna be steamed about this one.

Pamela Anderson wrote to Queen Beatrix in The Netherlands to talk about two issues that are near and dear to her heart: fur and sex.

The combination of the two words sounds rather kinky, but it’s nothing more than Pam’s animal side, er, animal rights side coming out.

“I’m thrilled to be visiting Holland this week not only because of the country’s charm but also because of its progressive outlook on two issues close to my heart: sex and animal rights. These topics overlap when it comes to fur: Nothing has less sex appeal than a fur coat.”

She goes on to ask that since Holland has already banned certain types of fur farms, why not go all the way and ban it all?

Read the rest of Pamela’s letter for suggestions on increasing sex appeal to the Queen.
