Pamela Anderson campaigns against Kentucky Derby

Pamela Anderson is turning her animal rights activism against the Kentucky Derby, refusing to attend the world’s most famous horse race again because of its sponsorship deal with the parent company of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

“It makes me want to avoid Kentucky altogether, which is sad because there are so many great people there,” the former Baywatch star said in a statement released today by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta).
