Baywatch star didn't realise boots were made of sheepskin
Pamela Anderson has apologised for wearing dead sheep on her feet.
The former Baywatch star, 39, says she has thrown away her favourite Ugg boots, because she didn't know they were made from shaved sheep skin.
'I'm getting rid of my Uggs,' she says on her personal website. 'I feel so guilty for that craze being started around my Baywatch days. I used to wear them with my red swimsuit to keep warm, never realising that they were SKIN! I thought they were shaved kindly.'
The mother-of-two, who is a staunch animal rights activist and member of PETA, is wracked with guilt over the fact that women the world over followed in her footsteps by wearing the animal pelt boots.
She added: 'People like to tell me all the time that I started that trend - yikes!'
Pam is disgusted she has worn her boots for so long, writing: 'It's what I grab by my door in the mornings to bring my kids to school or walk my dog on the beach at 6am or anything early. I've definitely over used them - and that's it!!!!'
That's interesting she didn't know, cuz way back when-when they 1st photographed her wearing them I clearly remember them saying they were sheepskin. It was in the photo caption.
Being a strict member of PETA, I wonder if she now has to check every item of clothing, every accessory, and every piece of food she buys for any trace of animal. When you put yourself in this position you probably have to be hugely careful not to contradict yourself.
Also, I thought PETA was against people owning dogs or is that another animal rights group?

So she threw them out? She could have at least donated them to Goodwill or Salvation Army or something. Yeah, someone else would be wearing a "dead sheep", but at least they wouldn't go to waste!
This is the most stupid thing I have heard all week.
What about all those leather dresses she appeared in? What about all those leather shoes and handbags she has? I would also put money on her owning a leather couch too. Just a wild guess...
I don't want to open up a whole can of worms here, but you can't make these claims and be half hearted about it...its all or nothing. Even Stella McCartney has admitted to wearing leather boots (but she said it was ok becuas they were "vintage")
Honestly, the first thing I thought when I read this thread title was: Because they're ugly? But I agree about not wearing sheepskin/fur/etc especially not when it's fashioned into something awful like uggs
