Melbourne,
(ANI):
Former
Baywatch
star
Pamela
Anderson
has
requested
Israel"s
ultra-orthodox
men
to
go
topless
by
not
wearing
their
traditional
fur
hats.
Anderson,
43,
who
is
currently
in
Israel
as
a
guest
judge
in
the
local
version
of
'Dancing
with
the
Stars",
said
she
had
written
to
ultra-orthodox
leaders
asking
them
to
stop
blocking
anti-fur
legislation.
“I
have
written
a
letter
here
to
talk
about
not
bringing
fur
back-and-forth
into
this
country," News.com.au
quoted
her
as
saying.
She
sent
the
letter
to
Israel"s
Minister
of
Religious
Services
Yakov
Margi,
who
delayed
legislation
calling
for
a
total
ban
on
the
fur
trade
in
Israel.
The
ultra-orthodox
parties
oppose
a
ban
because
it
would
affect
the
wearing
of
the
shtreimel,
a
fur-ringed
hat
traditionally
worn
by
married
ultra-orthodox
men
on
the
Sabbath
and
Jewish
holidays.
“I
urge
you
to
support
this
historic
bill
and
speak
up
for
the
millions
of
animals
who
are
bludgeoned,
electrocuted,
and
skinned
alive
for
their
pelts
each
year,"
Anderson
wrote
in
the
letter.
She
also
sent
the
minister
a
video
of
animals
being
killed
for
their
pelts.
“Surely
you
will
agree
that
the
ways
in
which
animals
suffer
and
die
in
the
fur
trade
violates
Jewish
principles,
which
strictly
prohibit
causing
unnecessary
suffering
to
animals,"
she
stated.
The
shtreimel
is
not
a
religious
obligation,
but
a
widely
held
tradition
in
which
it
is
worn
to
honour
the
sanctity
of
the
Sabbath,
holidays
and
special
occasions.
It
is
not
worn
on
a
daily
basis.
