A controversial, anti-immigrant Arizona sheriff and a former Baywatch
star will join together at a press conference Wednesday to promote an
all-vegetarian diet for prisoners nationwide. Since 2013,
the Maricopa County jail system, run by the self-proclaimed “America’s
Toughest Sheriff” Joe Arpaio, became the first in the nation to serve
meat-free meals to prisoners. Pamela Anderson is an animal-rights
activist representing People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
as a spokeswoman.
UPDATE: “That’s right, slam PETA for praising something good that
saves animals’ lives and is healthier for those incarcerated than the
“mystery meat” usually served jail inmates. Under your rules, only pure
people and pure institutions can be praised for anything, meaning there
will be no news as even saints, now long dead, had flies on them. Under
those rules, no one who works to stop any abuse to man or beast dare
praise a living soul or agency for any step forward, no matter how large
or small. That isn’t thinking progress, it’s negative thinking that
provides no incentive for moral growth. A more helpful mindset would
mean you can join in the celebration when our flawed society inches
forward in any regard, whether human rights, animal rights,
environmentalism, health, you name it.” —Ingrid Newkirk
