Tax evader Pamela Anderson curious as to how everyone else’s money is spent
Actress Pamela Anderson, celebrity spokeswoman for People of the Ethical Treatment of Animals tries a political approach in her way against the Canadian seal hunt. Pamela, who has been a U.S resident for over 20 years, has filed a series of access to information requests to gain knowledge of how much the government spends on the annual seal hunt.
“We’re wasting millions of tax dollars every year to prop up the violent, dying seal slaughter,” Anderson wrote in an email to The Canadian Press. “It’s no longer an issue of concern just for animal advocates but for any Canadian disgusted by government waste. And for the many Canadians who travel abroad, like me, it’s a huge embarrassment.”
Anderson filed three access requests with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
The hilarious twist to the story can be found in Ms. Anderson’s own tax history. Pamela was recently found to owe over $1 million dollars in unpaid taxes to the U.S government, and is facing legal battles regarding millions of dollars of unpaid fee’s owed to contractors who performed work on her multi-million dollar Hollywood home.

Animal rights group costs earthquake victims aid
GOAL, an international humanitarian agency dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the poorest of the poor, recently lost a large donation that was meant to assist victims of the Haiti earthquake because an animal rights organization argued against the source of the donation.
The Irish Coursing Club, a century old greyhound sporting club, and Bookmaker Boylesports raised money at its events this past month towards the relief efforts being made in Haiti. The victims of the earthquake, however must have seemed insignificant to the self-righteous animal rights activists. Members of the misleadingly titled animal rights group, the Irish Council Against Bloodsports protested against the source of the donation, and ultimately prevented it from ever reaching Haiti.
A pie for a pie, PETA gets its just desserts
A supporter of the radical animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals got her Just Desserts and a taste of the group’s own tactics Friday afternoon in St. John’s, Newfoundland. The seal-hunt protester who had been following the Prime Minister around the country with with a fellow PETA member dressed as a seal received a cold welcome and a pie in the face in response to her protest.
After arriving in the capital city, Emily Lavender, 21, of Vancouver Island, B.C. began to protest outside of the Delta Hotel, where the PM would be giving a speech along with several other government officials to the construction industry association. She was accompanied by who she thought was another PETA member in a seal costume, however it was in fact an intern at the local radio station who later removed the seal suit and started protesting against and denouncing PETA on camera.
Ms. Lavender, after being left alone with no support, eventually put on the costume herself where she was later joined by another costume wearing mascot. Salty Dog of the Newfoundland tourism and cultural ‘Downhome’ shop, greeted her with a cream pie in the face in front of a cheering and energetic local audience.
Sea Sheppherd’s lose $1.5 million vessel
On January 6, 2010 the newest vessel in the Sea Shepperdâ??s anti-whaling fleet was involved in a collision with a Japanese vessel and lost to sea. The Sea Shepperdâ??s â??Ady Gilâ?? entered the path of the Japanese â??ShÅnan Maru 2â?², which was engaged in security and support for the whaling fleet, and was unavoidably struck on her port side near her bow. Both groups took footage of the incident and claims that the other is responsible, arguing that the opposing skipper took unnecessary, dangerous maneuvers. Fortunately no-one was killed as a result of the accident, however one of the Ady Gillâ??s crew members sustained a rib injury. Despite the lack of legal action taken place since, analysis done by Captain Jim Varney, an experienced maritime accident investigator and Captain Tim Wilson from the New Zealand Maritime School agreed that the Ady Gil was accelerating when it was hit by the Japanese ship and moved into the Japanese boatâ??s path. Check out a video of the analysis here .
