The former American Idol contestant, red-hot country sensation, and reformed rare steak lover recently told People Magazine that she first decided to give up meat for health reasons, but then one night she was randomly Googling (which always leads to cool finds!) and came across one of Pamela Anderson’s TV ads, which lead her to our many videos. Our wonderful Pam strikes again!
“One night I couldn’t sleep and I was up just Googling random stuff and I’m like, ‘Hmmm, PETA.’ I saw all the videos and I just thought it was horrible. It’s animal cruelty. A lot of it has to do with knowing what happens to the animals and it really bothered me and so I will not eat meat.”
It’s been five months and Kellie, who says she used to eat rare steak all of the time, is not looking back. And with good friends like Carrie for support, we see a long, healthy, meat-free future for Kellie, who incidentally is getting my vote for World’s Sexiest Vegetarian of 2009!

P.S. Which peta2 video has had the biggest impact on you or someone you know, and why? Comment below—we love hearing from you!
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

good for her! I knew Carrie would get ‘er sooner or later. She charmed me on American Idol and I think she’s a sweetheart I hope she sticks with it, if so she has my vote in ’09 [sexiest veg.] As for the videos, Meat Your Meat is the one that got me and my friends to try vegetarianism, out of our group I was the only one that stuck with it besides my friend Meghan who went vegan (I’m very proud).
I also like Testing 123, Chew On This and the impotence short PSA…all are awesome.

Yay for Kellie Pickler!
I think the ‘Fur is Dead’ video made quite a huge impact on the members of my Girl Guide group. They all saw the video on my Bebo page and at the next Guide meeting they were all discussing it and how shocking it was, most even admitted crying while watching it.
The next week, even more of the Guides had seen it and all pledged to be FFF: Fur Free Forever!
