 TORONTO (AP) - Actress Pamela Anderson's has added her name to the growing list of celebrities speaking out against Canada's annual seal hunt, which just got under way.
The former "Baywatch" star asked for a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to discuss the issue, following her hosting duties at Sunday's Juno Awards, Canada's largest music awards.
"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 sealskin `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 late Monday.
