Actress Pamela Anderson, who is hosting the Junos in Halifax, wants to talk about the seal hunt to PM Stephen Harper

(AP)

TORONTO (CP) — Calling the seal hunt “barbaric,” bombshell actress Pamela Anderson has asked for a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper following her hosting duties at Sunday’s Juno Awards in Halifax.

“As a proud Canadian who frequently travels abroad, I am alarmed that people are starting to see Canada as a country more beholden to a pack of greedy hunters and to the seal-skin ‘fashion’ whims of a few countries than to the massive international outcry against the hunt,” Anderson, a vocal member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said in a letter faxed to Harper’s office.

“One of the biggest problems facing the U.S. government is appearing aloof about its own hostile behaviour; I’d hate to see that happen north of the border too.”

“One of the biggest problems facing the U.S. government is appearing aloof about its own hostile behaviour; I’d hate to see that happen north of the border too.”

[shain from kane]

38. It also makes your breasts swell without artificial agents.

When P/A heard this, she was overheard to say, "Where do I join the Breasts Club for Women?",
and was told, "Grab your bat, and step right up to the plate."

7. ack! post a warning next time!

sheesh! :)

[RebelOne]

12. Nothing wrong with Bardot.

I admire anyone who stands up speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves.

[medeak]

16. hmmm

wonder if all that eye make up is animal free tested?

At some time one needs to give it up. Reminds me of Scottsdale elderly women teetering on high heels with their walkers and pinched faces.

[RebelOne]

18. Stop bashing her looks.

I wonder what you will look like when you are in your 70s.

[medeak]

27. how do you know I'm not in my 70's heh heh

[ozone_man]

30. You mean 90's not 70's.

Brigitte Bardot is probably 90, if she was 18 in this picture (1934). I doubt I'll be alive at that age.

[dipsydoodle]

49. Guess you misread her DOB

1934 is her year of birth. She'll be 72 this coming September.

[ozone_man]

51. Yes.

I thought it was the photo date. Usually when you put a date next to a photo, that's when it was shot. Well in that case, she hasn't aged very well. But, I suppose that's pretty irrelevant to the issue at hand.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

29. And yet, she's a racist as well.

[flvegan]

31. How so?

That's news to me, seriously, and I'd be curious to hear why that is so.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

46. Here:

Also seems to be homophobic and sexist as well.

PARIS - French actress-turned-animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot was convicted Thursday of inciting racial hatred and ordered to pay $6,000 — the fourth such fine for the former sex symbol since 1997.

The Paris court sentenced Bardot, 69, for remarks in her book “A Scream in the Silence,” an outspoken attack on gays, immigrants and the jobless that shocked France last year.

In the book, she laments the “Islamization of France” and the “underground and dangerous infiltration of Islam.”

“Mme. Bardot presents Muslims as barbaric and cruel invaders, responsible for terrorist acts and eager to dominate the French to the extent of wanting to exterminate them,” the court said.

France’s 5-million-member Muslim community is the largest in Europe.

Bardot, who was not present for the verdict, denied the charges in a tearful court appearance last month, saying her book did not target Islam or people from North Africa.

She told the court France was going through a period of decadence and said she opposed interracial marriage.

“I was born in 1934, at that time interracial marriage wasn’t approved of,” she said.

“There are many new languages in the new Europe. Mediocrity is taking over from beauty and splendor. There are many people who are filthy, badly dressed and badly shaven.”

In her book, she also attacks homosexuals as “fairground freaks,” condemns the presence of women in government and denounces the “scandal of unemployment benefits.”

Bardot, who in her 1960s heyday was the epitome of French feminine beauty, was fined $3,250 in January 1998 after being convicted of inciting racial hatred in comments about civilian massacres in Algeria.

Four months earlier, a court fined her for saying France was being overrun by sheep-slaughtering Muslims.

50. I was not aware of that circumstance in BB's life.

And there is nothing uglier than bigotry. Consciousness has come a long way since the 1940s and 50s.
However for her to have racially slurred instances since 1997 is a travesty.

Her campaigns to help the animals and her tireless efforts in that area have been admirable; it is despicable that she harbors hatred for humans.

I did not know that about her.

I stand corrected .....I cannot admire a bigot....

[peacebuzzard]

45. Thank you. BB is my hero.

She has a heart for the defenseless. A wonderful human being.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

47. Check post #46.

Your opinion of her might change.

[oldtime dfl_er]

19. at least Bardot is keeping it real

I mean, come on, people, first you're lambasting Pamela Anderson for all the cosmetic enhancements and then you're ridiculing Bardot for not doing the same thing. If I'm not careful I might whisper the word sexist around here!

[Mr.Green93]

6. Who will save the Silicones?

[pitohui]

8. because pamela andersen is soooo knowledgeable

abt health & conservation issues :eyes:

i know she has a good heart but cripes she has an IQ barely out of the double digits

nobody's all mad at canada except a bunch of publicity mad over-the-hill celebs like mccartney & morrissey

[Beaverhausen]

14. You dont' know what you are talking about

She may play the dumb bimbo in public but she is no dummy.

And plenty of us are mad at canada for allowing this cruel slaughter to continue.

[400Years]

15. you question her IQ because she is a blond bombshell type?

Her quotes certainly betray that image.

[pitohui]

20. i question it because i've read her writing

she used to have a column in jane

i'm sorry, the woman has a good heart, she means well, but she is on very low wattage

you can be a nice lady and be an idiot, and i'm afraid andersen is exhibit A to my view

as far as the seal hunt, i will leave the decision on that to canadian fish & wildlife services, just as i would expect them to leave decisions abt hunting of our animals to usa fish & wildlife services, i have not seen anything to cause me to have a lack of confidence in the ability of canada's wildlife officials to rule on whether or not a hunt is proper

[400Years]

24. her quote in this article doesn't sound like an idiot

and as far as your faith in govt. officials, well I'll leave you alone on that one since
the volumes of evidence undermining that faith has not made any difference

[pitohui]

34. i've read more than one set of quotes

i think we all know that quotes get fluffed when the reporter likes you

i have had the misfortune to read anderson's own writing

she's a kind woman with not a brain in her head, no sandwiches at that picnic

she does not deserve a meeting w. top gov't officials any more than anybody else, having big tits don't make her special

[Beaverhausen]

25. You trust the government - and you're calling HER an idiot?

:crazy:

[pitohui]

33. yes i trust fish & wildlife

these are good people doing a hard job for too little pay

if you want to put someone famous for having big tits -- big tits which she BOUGHT in a freaking store -- ahead of somebody who devotes years of their lives to getting a master's or doctorate to study the health of animal populations and then gets a job for around $16K and all for the love of the animals and the environment -- if you want to put such people lower down on your hierarchy of who to trust and believe than an empty-headed celebrity than i can't help you

good fish and wildlife people know what in hell they're doing and if you can't judge them to decide if a hunt can be sustained, you sure the fuck can't trust paul effing over-the-hill mccartney, we all saw what a wonderful long life a vegan diet did for his damn wife, so he just keeps on repeating what didn't work the first time, i feel sorry for him but i don't respect his views in this matter

and i sure the hell don't respect anderson's

[Beaverhausen]

37. I'm sorry but it doesn't take a master's degree to see that clubbing...

...baby seals and skinning them alive just for their fur is cruel and inhumane. Any idiot knows that!

[Omaha Steve]

40. F & W officials were on the boat that bumped the observers

Not very neutral at all! They live there and want to keep a job. Their kids go to the same schools. Well you get the idea. So quit trolling.

[flvegan]

41. It suits your needs

so, naturally, you do so. Selfishness has boundaries...sometimes.

"his damn wife" speaks volumes. Thanks for that.

[Omaha Steve]

48. Seal guts were hurled into a boat carrying mostly journalists

Seal-hunt activists complain police abusing rights

CHRIS MORRIS

Canadian Press

snip I forgot to include a link yesterday.

Ms. Aldworth insisted that she did not come too close to a sealing operation.

She said a sealing boat maneuvered close to the observers' small boat, forcing them within the 10-metre buffer zone.

The sealing boat was carrying RCMP and Fisheries officers.

Reporters covering the hunt from the ice floes confirmed that several sealing boats charged observer vessels.

On Saturday, seal guts were hurled into a boat carrying mostly journalists.

On Sunday, a sealing boat rammed one of the protesters' inflatable Zodiacs, damaging a propeller.

28. What color was that kettle, again?

Black, right, got it.

SO, you have her IQ test results...or is that just opinion? Oh, and as far as your last statement, lots of folks are "mad at Canada" about this, and MILLIONS of people buy product from/listen to/appreciate McCartney and Morrissey.

The facts are out there...seek, and you shall find.

[RebelOne]

9. What exactly do you all have against Pamela Anderson?

Could it be because she has compassion for animals?

[medeak]

13. thinks it's the plastic

that makes it hard to take her seriously as a spokesperson for the natural things in life.

[pitohui]

21. i got nothing against her

i just don't think she is qualified to comment on this topic and it is only because of her celebrity, caused by her tit size, that causes anyone to publishes the airheaded thoughts that blow through her naive brain

i have the impression that she is a sweet lady but just not bright enough to give me advice

[superconnected]

10. I'm glad someone is standing up and speaking for the seals.

I don't care if some people don't like this woman. What she's saying is on the number.

[dusty64]

11. I'm glad she

has been speaking out for animals, better then some of the celebrities like say brittney.

[ohiosmith]

17. Given the choice between a cruel inhumane death by being bludgeoned

and skinned alive, or being represented by Pam Anderson nine out of 10 baby seals would choose death.

[newfaceinhell]

22. Good for her!

[flvegan]

26. Harper won't meet with her.

Can't say I blame him either. Not much of a leg to stand on with this.

[pitohui]

35. i wouldn't meet w. her either

i should think he has a real job

[flvegan]

39. And from your other posts

you trust the government over anyone else.

Cool. Hey, here's a link you might enjoy: www.freerepublic.com

And, btw...she wouldn't waste her time with you, most likely. Your hate would be a little too much for any person to want to bear.

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

42. Doesn't matter--P.A. got a spot in the news--lots more people now thinking

every little bit helps

[flvegan]

43. I most certainly agree...

Besides, dipshit Harper will have more to deal with next month when the "hunt" seeks close to 300,000 seal pups.

My point was that he won't meet with her, because despite her (DU suggested) "shortcomings" she is still far beyond what the Minister of Fisheries could ever summon.

And that...has got to hurt.

[MasonJar]

32. I admire her stand and hope that her meeting helps stop this

slaughter of innocent babies.

[Lisa]

36. so Harper could have met Anderson even before meeting Bush!

That would really send a message, wouldn't it!

[LeftyMom]

44. She has a good heart

It's sad that people criticize her and other famous people for speaking out on matters of concience. I'm glad she's using her notoriety to try to create positive change.
