Hard work, dedication, and her divine Aunt Vie aren’t the only things keeping former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson a viable contender on for the coveted Golden Disco Ball Trophy on the new season ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
The devoted animal rights activist has received a boost of votes from PETA supporters.
The folks at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — who have partnered with Anderson on initiatives on everything from saving Canadian seals to taking down KFC — publicized the star’s anti-bull-fighting-themed dance on its blogs and Twitter this week and encouraged PETA members and supporters to help keep the actress on the show, according to MSNBC’s “The Scoop.”
“Pam’s tireless work to expose cruelty in the meat and fur trades has created a very emotional bond with PETA’s two million members and supporters who are thrilled to see her and vote for her on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’” a PETA spokesperson explains.
