Ke$ha honoured by PETA
Ke$Ha has been named the most animal-friendly pop star of 2011 by officials at PETA.
The TiK ToK hitmaker fought off competition from Justin Bieber for the honour at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' recent Libby Awards, which honour stars who help raise awareness of creature cruelty.
Marta Holmberg from peta2, the organisation's youth division, says,
"Ke$ha is quick to act when sleazy behaviour - like cruelly killing
chickens or slaughtering seals - hurts animals. peta2 is proud to
have this animal on our team."
Jackass funnyman Steve-O was named the top animal-friendly
celebrity, and Holmberg adds, "When it comes to tackling animal
abuse, Steve-O isn't clowning around. He may be quick to risk his
safety for a stunt, but he's quicker to point out that animals
should be protected, not killed for food or exploited in a shoddy
zoo or a circus."
