Reaching Out to Paris Hilton

As PETA Vice President Dan Mathews pointed out in his letter to Paris Hilton today, the pair of them now have a common bond: they’ve both spent time in the big house. Dan’s hope is that Paris’ experiences being locked away with a bunch of disgruntled chicks will give her just a bit of insight into the lousy conditions that the chicks who are routinely crammed into tiny cages for KFC have to suffer on their way to the fast-food chain’s buckets, and he’s asked her to narrate a brief video for PETA detailing KFC’s abuse of birds. Dan, who obviously has a soft spot for imprisoned celebrities, has had success with this tactic in the past—when Martha Stewart was incarcerated, she was so moved by his letter that she gave up wearing fur and later narrated an anti-fur video for us, so here’s hoping that Paris will have the same open-minded response to this little overture. As Dan points out, “Unlike inmates at the jail in L.A., these animals get no reprieve or medical treatment.” And Paris has plenty of time to mull it over. You can read the letter here.

honestly about the Cat comments... A cat doesn't even eat its preys... THEY DO. If they are hungry. Is the curious instinct of the cat who move it to chase birds. but WE ARE NOT ANIMALS so I am vegan who love animals

The is to the eyes about the comment made on cats. You need to get a life it is only natural the way cats kill. But when fed and taken care of they are very loveable creatures. I have had cats in my family for years and they get along with my birds and rat. So stick it up your cat hating ass and learn a few things.

I don't think someone convicted of drunk driving is the type of person PETA should be associating with.

I find that the hardest part about being vegetarian is the meateaters. Not once have I tried to change others into becoming vegetarians. I am often ridiculed for what I eat. For me it seems that the people who make fun of me are jealous of my will and my strength to become a vegetarian. Haley if you don't insult "us" for our beliefs then we won't insult you for what you believe in. Most of "us" are just compassionate human beings who have made a personal choice to change our own lifestyles for whatever reason that may be. I know others have been saying you're young so what do you know. I'm only 18. It is not a matter of age but a willingness to open your mind and be more understanding. For me I am a vegetarian not because I don't want to eat meat and yes it is the "circle of life" I am vegetarian because I don't agree with the treatment of the animals we eat. In nature a lion catches it's prey in a gruesome way but at least it's supper has lived a life of freedom. Who are we to take away the freedom of another innocent creature? To care about the well being of other sensitive living beings is not "psychotic". Society tells us which animal is for eating and which one is for loving and companionship. What makes my dogs more worthy of care health and love then a cow? Ofcourse no issue is black and white. However I ask you Haley to try and be more openminded and understanding.

Poor PETA. They will never be taken seriously. Especially with current administration shooting themselves in the foot every time they turn around. Poor stupid PETA

I am so glad that people agree with me about "The Eyes" saying cats are the cruelest killers in the world.

Paris I am so sorry that this has happened to you this is in a much bigger way but animals are put in cages in China and then skinned alive or other tortures that happen if you care at all about animals please on where their skin. I am sure you know have an idea about how it feels to be in a cage and scared to death.

People have also been KILLED or have become seriously ill from medicines that were approved based on animal testing. Only 8 of approved animaltested medicines actually benefit humans meaning that 92 of them have FAILED meaning that BILLIONS and BILLIONS of lives have been wasted on useless testing. I would not be comforted knowing that my life could be improvedsaved if animals had been needlessly killed in the process. Rojo you sure seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on this site considering that you do not seem to agree with many if any of PETA's statements. Have you watched all of their videos yet??? I bet you will not do so because then you would have to admit that many of your views condone serious animal cruelty.

michele so penicillen may not have passed the tests so what millions of lives have been saved by products that did. We now have different ways to model medicines so now it is safer to go straight to human testing. It wasn't once.
