Pamela Anderson Drops In On Capitol Hill

Pamela Anderson made her first trip to Washington, D.C. as an American citizen yesterday when she hand delivers a report to politicians blasting the U.S. Government for failing to update animal testing procedures.

The Baywatch actress was a Canadian when she was last in the U.S. capital and she's determined to make a stir on Capitol Hill when she joins People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals activists to berate officials for not replacing outdated animal tests.

Anderson made a personal appeal to her 'new government' to replace a profusion of outdated animal tests with modern technology that is already widely used in Europe.

She delivered a report to politicians yesterday afternoon is the same PETA science report that inspired a recent front-page Washington Post article, which condemned the failure of the Department of Health and Human Services for not using "sophisticated, non-animal test methods in place of animal tests".

Anderson says, "Being a citizen excites me not just because I can vote, but because I can crack the whip on Capitol Hill to defend animals."

Anderson will continue her lobbying efforts at today’s White House Correspondent's Dinner, which she is attending with pal and PETA Vice President Dan Mathews.
