Icon Travels With PETA to Refugee Camp in France
Dunkirk, France – PETA took a special ambassador to a Dunkirk refugee camp today: Pamela Anderson,
who delivered warm vegan hats and gloves, along with hundreds of
animal-themed activity books and coloured pencils, to children who have
been forced to flee their home countries.
The
trilingual educational activity books (in English, Farsi, and Arabic
and French, Farsi, and Arabic) are full of child-friendly facts about
animals, pictures, quizzes, and other activities, allowing children to
improve their language skills as well as their knowledge of other living
beings in a fun way. PETA has donated hundreds of the colouring books
to refugee day centres across the UK and France and also made them
available for free download on its website.
Photos are available here, here, and here.
"As
a mother and a longtime animal advocate, Pamela Anderson has a huge
heart for those in need", says PETA Director Elisa Allen. "She was eager
to deliver vegan knitwear and educational activity books that will
provide a little warmth and comfort to these children who have lost so
much."
PETA
– whose motto reads, in part, that "animals are not ours to abuse in
any way" – named Anderson its 2016 Person of the Year for her efforts to
encourage vegan eating, for her opposition to circuses that use
animals, and for speaking out about fur, among many other actions for
animals.
