Ky. Gov. Refuses Pamela Anderson's Request
By ROGER ALFORD, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago
With a bust in the balance, Kentucky's governor is siding with Colonel Sanders over Pamela Anderson.
Gov. Ernie Fletcher wrote the "Stacked" actress to say a bust of the KFC founder will stay in the Kentucky Capitol, despite Anderson's claim that Sanders is a symbol of cruelty to chickens.
"Colonel Sanders remains a Kentucky icon," Fletcher wrote last week. "His success story has been an inspiration to many. The industry he began has employed hundreds of thousands of workers over the years. His business and his legacy have been good for Kentucky."
Anderson has been involved in a public relations campaign with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to raise awareness of what she calls abuse of chickens in processing plants that supply poultry to the Louisville-based chicken chain.
She responded to the governor's decision in a letter Tuesday, saying Sanders' chief legacy is a company "that mutilates God's creatures."
In her letters to Fletcher, the 38-year-old actress has detailed alleged abuses of chickens by KFC suppliers. Among her claims, she said workers in a slaughterhouse in West Virginia have been filmed tearing the heads off live birds, spitting tobacco in their eyes and boiling the chickens alive in tanks of scalding water.
KFC has called Anderson's attack on Sanders a misguided publicity stunt.

Just when you thought that you'd heard it all..
Cruelty to chickens? Ha ha ha!
she has the brains to sell sex.
that is about it.
Ironic the KY gov was being asked to give deference to a "performer" who career is based on breasts.
I'm sorry Pamela, but Colonel Sanders wasn't "cruel to chickens". He made chicken delicious!
I'll have two large breasts, please.
That'll be $26,000.
I bet she's responsible for a lot of chicken-choking.
She's an example of cruelty to acting.
And...I'll betcha...the blowsy busty blonde is pro-choice. Whaddayya think?
yeah yeah I would say something about male chickens but it's just too damn easy.
Free Range chickens are the best way to spread bird flu.
in that case, pam is chicken confused.
You want to see pictures of a chick with big knockers?
Pamela Anderson has caused far more chickens to be choked than has Colonel Sanders.
Pam's been out in the yard messing with the roosters again.
I always knew Pam was foul.
