LOS ANGELES:

Former ‘Baywatch’ star Pamela Anderson is so staunchly opposed to the fur trade, she refuses to interact with anyone she spots wearing animal skin. The glamorous blonde actress — who is an ardent campaigner for People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (Peta) — stunned guests at Las Vegas’ Palms Hotel last week when she refused to take an elevator car after noticing one of the occupants was sporting a fur coat, the Internet Media Database reported. Pamela Anderson, who was in the gambling mecca to promote her new fashion range, reportedly waited patiently until another lift without anyone wearing fur became available. — HNS
