Pamela Anderson Say's NO to the 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 by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta).
Yahoo news has reported that Anderson, a Peta member who attended the Derby in 2001 and 2003, has been involved in a campaign to raise awareness of what she calls abuse of chickens in processing plants that supply poultry to Louisville-based KFC.

A Churchill Downs spokesman said that although he disagreed with Anderson, he regrets that she will not be coming back to the big race.
"We would certainly love to welcome her back somewhere down the road," John Asher said.
