Who else was glued to E! Sunday night for the premier episode of Pamela Anderson's new show, Pam: Girl on the Loose? I love that the show opens with her bleaching her own hair! And how cool was it that she was just chatting with the people at her yard sale (all the proceeds came to PETA, btw). I wouldn't expect to see too many celebs of her caliber doing that, which is just one of the many reasons that Pam's so cool. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Yesterday the blonde bombshell was in her home country of Canada where she and some local activists popped into a KFC to try their new faux-chicken Classic Vegetarian Sandwich.
In case you haven't heard, the United Purchasing Group of Canada entered into an agreement with PETA to reduce the suffering of chickens and dramatically improve animal welfare standards. And since these are the folks responsible for coordinating the purchasing of all chickens for KFCs in Canada this is HUGE. (Of course here in the U.S. and in other parts of the world we're still calling for a boycott of KFC until they make simple changes to reduce the suffering...you'd think this would be a no-brainer.)
Pam's been a driving force behind PETA's KFC campaign for the past five years. Thanks to her efforts we've been able to draw even more attention to the hideous acts of cruelty perpetrated by KFC suppliers. So I'm not even the slightest bit jealous that she got to try one of the amazing new sandwiches and I still haven't...OK, maybe I'm just a little bit jealous. Alright, I'm a lot jealous. Hey, Canadians! Ship some of them down here already, why don'tcha?!

P.S. If you're in Canada be sure to try the new Classic Vegetarian Sandwich— you can get a coupon here—but please don't rub it in our faces.

and why exactly would you support KFC by buying this sandwich? because they're making a feeble attempt at placating activists? what the heck is wrong with PETA? you guys are a bunch of spineless weirdos. and you exploit women while being against exploiting animals. news: women are animals, too!

we are still supporting KFC
and giving them even more money to torture animals
which is totally what Peta is against right?
No matter what, KFC wont change
in my opinion Peta has taken a huge leap backwards
and also what does KFC believe they will achieve buy making a vegetarian/vegan burger?
make us happy?
The burger is really yum!!
I worry sometimes that they fry the veggie burgers with the regular ones though, hopefully they don't!
If you're in Canada, PLEASE GO GET ONE!
When I went, the employee didn't even know they had a veggie sandwich.
Support and stuff so that they keep it on the menu people!
Ask for it without mayo and bring some Vegenaise with you! ;D
I really love what Pam does for animals. Unlike Jeannine, I will always support PETA for doing everything they can to help animals.
Posted by: Kelly at August 6, 2008 8:01 AMAlot of these comments are really ignorant. We need to realize that changes happen in baby steps. The world isnt going to become vegan overnight.
This is a pretty giant baby step if you ask me. Not only does KFC now have a vegetarian option, they have made huge changes to the way in which the animals are being treated. That's more than we can say for pretty much any other fast food chain out there.
Buying a veggie burger from KFC is NOT going to cause more animals to be killed. If anything, we could DECREASE the amount of animals being killed if more people would opt for the veggie version.
The more veggie burgers they sell, the more veggie options we will start to see. If it does well enough, other food chains will follow their example.
We should support and embrace every change, no matter how small it may seem because if we dont, bigger changes will never happen.

This is the exact reason I will no longer support PETA!
