The famous U.S. television star Pamela Anderson - an ardent animal rights activist - is engaged these days in Israel in an attempt to convince the Knesset (parliament) to approve a law that would prohibit
fur trade. Among the Israeli political opposition comes from the more orthodox parties
according to which at least should allow the import of fur "for religious reasons": ie permit trade in "streimel, the hats, made up of dozens of fox tails that are a essential in clothing of orthodox Jews. Anderson recently wrote in a letter to the Minister for Religious Affairs Yaakov Margi (a rabbi Orthodox Shas party), begging him to understand that "even animals have a right to benefit from feelings of compassion." Tomorrow will be the actress in parliament where MPs meet
environmentalists - who are struggling for months to approve the new law - and where he hopes to be received by the minister-rabbi. "A few seconds should be enough to persuade him," he said in a press conference, Anderson, well aware of its influence. Yesterday, meanwhile, covered with a gray cape punished, he visited the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem - one of
places sacred to Judaism - and then went into television studios of "Dancing with the Stars" where he made a fleeting appearance.
