Pamela Anderson, who is also an honourary director of PETA US, has written a letter Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, asking him to promote veganism in India. In her letter, she has appealed to the PM to act quickly to tackle climate change, and to stop serving animal-derived foods at government meetings and functions.
In her letter, she explained that raising animals for meat, eggs, and dairy causes nearly one-fifth of all human-induced greenhouse gas emissions.
She also pointed out that other countries have already taken pro-vegan steps to combat the climate crisis. “I appeal to you to show that India can equal or best them,” she wrote in the letter to PM Modi.
The letter read, “My heart goes out to everyone affected by the severe air pollution plaguing Delhi. I worry about the residents as well as the animals who can’t wear face masks or stay indoors.” Addressing the PM, she further wrote, “I know you share my concern for the future, so please lead India’s fight against climate change by taking a simple but forceful, progressive step. Ban animal-derived foods from all government meetings and functions. I am shattered by recent findings of climate change’s impact on India.”
Last month, Pamela Anderson also wrote to Canada PM
Justin Trudeau, asking him to take steps to serve nutritious vegan meals in correctional facilities.
Pamela Anderson who was also part of Bigg Boss 4, shared her love for Indian cuisine and said, “India is the easiest place to be vegan... I still remember the beautiful colour of saffron rice and the alluring aroma of veggie biryani. India’s foods are so fantastic and varied that it’s the easiest place on earth to be vegan.”
