(TORONTO – HoundsTV) Actress, activist, and all-round hot babe Pamela Anderson is back in Canada to launch a new PETA ad campaign against the annual Canadian seal hunt.

Despite the cold and rainy weather in Toronto, Anderson was wearing a summer-like dress outside the Ontario legislature buildings and addressed a large media scrum of photographers and reporters.

Will Pam’s march on Queens Park have any effect on official Canadian policy? Not according to Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, Gail Shea who was reached for comment today and called Anderson’s remarks disappointing and suggested she spend time with East Coast sealers to understand the hunt’s importance.

“Hollywood celebrities are not going to dictate policy in Canada because we make decisions that are based on science and consultation with Canadians,” Shea said in an interview with Canadian media.

The National Post blog sums up the PETA publicity stunt well.

“I can only hope by bringing attention to the slaughter, the international outcry will force the Canadian government to end this shameful practice.” – Pamela Anderson
