Priscilla Presley and actress Kim Basinger are working closely together protesting for a serious cause. The two celebrities are taking a big stand and going to any and all extremes to put a stop to the Korean dog meat trade. The protest took place early Tuesday in Los Angles according to TMZ reports and things got really graphic. Kim Basinger’s protest was very mild compared to the lengths the ex-wife of the late Elvis Presley took.
Basinger took her stand during by carrying a photo of dead dogs skinned and hanging on meat hooks to protest the dog meat trade in Korea. However, Priscilla Presley really meant business today and went as far as protesting while holding an actual dead dog.
Kim stated that the demonstration is about speaking out against what’s wrong … and killing dogs is definitely wrong. The actress added that she is well aware that the dog meat trade has been a part of Korean culture for many, many decades. However, she firmly believes that it is high time
this cruel practice comes to an end.
Numerous protestors from the group Last Chance for Animals held signs with graphic and disturbing photo reading “Stop Dog Meat” others including Priscilla Presley chose to hold what appeared to be dead canines. TMZ added that the dead canines carried at the protest by Presley and the other women were reported, “recently euthanized” and provided by a local vet for “shock factor.”
