Vegetarian and animal rights advocate Pamela Anderson is joining next season’s Dancing with the Stars. According to a RadarOnline source, “Pam is thrilled and so is the show.”

PETA’s BFF has been working to fight animal abuse worldwide. Recently she penned a letter to the President of Chile urging the country to ban circuses that feature animals. “I am visiting your beautiful country and was excited to learn from my friends at PETA that Chile just passed a national animal welfare law and that your neighbor Bolivia recently enacted a ban on the use of animals in circuses. Would you consider strengthening Chile’s new animal welfare law by establishing a ban similar to Bolivia’s?”

It is an obvious assumption that Anderson will follow the lead of Heather Mills, who wore vegan skates on Dancing on Ice, and request cruelty-free costumes on the hit show.

ABC’s Dancing with the Stars debuted in 2005 and begins its 10th season on March 22.
