The
Canadian-born actress, a vegetarian spokesperson for the organization
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), recently organized a
media event in Vancouver, Canada calling for the cancellation of the
Canadian seal hunt this year.
Prior to the event, the actress
had written a letter of appeal to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, asking
him to spare the seal pups, whose survival is already threatened by
habitat loss due to global warming.
Pamela Anderson - Vegetarian (F):
This is another reason to stop the seal hunt - the environmental
information that the Canadian government has now found is that the ice
caps are the lowest in the last 30 years.
We are even asking
this year to stop it, so we could actually have a bigger population,
because their population is going to be nonexistent pretty soon.
VOICE:
With petition signatures that have reached the prime minister numbering
half a million thus far, members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai
International Association also showed support, and had a chance to
present Pamela Anderson with an SOS bag on the vegan solution to climate
change.
Accepting the gift, Ms. Anderson shared her
encouragement for the actions people can engage in to stop animal
cruelty as well as protect the environment.
Pamela Anderson (F):
I have loved animals since I was little, so I was an animal activist
since I was little. There’s just so much difference we could make. I
think it’s just really important to do whatever you can.
Supreme Master TV (M): Is our diet part of that solution?
Pamela Anderson (F):
Yes! Being vegetarian is a great way to a healthy environment. It is
better than driving a hybrid car. Factory farming is one of the leading
causes of global warming as well.
So, there are lots of
conscious things we can do. The more I find out, the more I change my
life. I just think that’s what we all need to do.
VOICE: A
grateful salute, Pamela Anderson for your valiant and compassionate
shining star to protect the seals and the planet. Indeed, may all of
humanity foster the conscientious and life-saving vegan lifestyle for
the wholesome future of our fellow co-inhabitants and the Earth.
As
often mentioned in her wish to safeguard all beings, Supreme Master
Ching Hai highlighted the connection between our treatment of animals
and the planet’s climate crisis during a November 2009 videoconference
in Washington, DC, USA.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
The whales and the seals are some of the many animals who literally
radiate love to balance our planet. They were born here to help us to
fill in the void of love that we lost through our inconsiderate actions.
But sadly, we kill them. If we kill these beings, we’re really
killing ourselves. We take out the balance that is greatly needed at
this time, in our dire situation.
Please inform yourself of the
unimaginable, utterly cruel and utmost inhumane treatment involved in
the meat and dairy production, or fishing even, as well as lab
experiments or the animal fur industry.
How can we degrade
ourselves into such a heartless state of being, by supporting these
cruel, heart-wrenching practices? I hope it is clear that the best, and
really the only way, is to be vegan.
