Iggy Pop And Ke$ha Unite For PETA Seal Clubbing Campaign

April 14, 2011
Iggy Pop And Ke$ha Unite For PETA Seal Clubbing CampaignIggy Pop and Ke$ha have teamed up for the latest PETA campaign against the clubbing of baby seals.

Both singers appear in a new campaign which aims to combat the Canadian government's attempts to market baby seal fur internationally. 

In a statement Iggy Pop said: "Clubbing baby seals is sick and gives Canada a black eye. Don't let the greed of a few tarnish the image of the whole country."

Ke$ha added: "The Canadian seal slaughter is barbaric and archaic. My music and my fans are part of a movement of youth taking over the world with positive change."

Peaches, Bryan Adams, Pamela Anderson, and Ryan Reynolds have all been strongly opposed to the baby seal slaughter laws.
