If she didn’t “buy” the award can anyone explain how she got it when one of the criteria for it is that you have to have had 10 years of animal activism? Heather Mills never cared about any animal until she was with Paul McCartney and he introduced her to the subject. And what does her giving the pledge at the dinner have to do with her not buying the award? These things are prearranged all the time. Her donation was part of the deal to get the award she clearly didn’t qualify for. Anyone see Linda or Paul McCartney on this awards list who brought animal rights to the eyes of the world? How about Chrissie Hynde? Where are the people that were the forefathers? I guess they didn’t buy any awards.

It was Paul McCartney’s money not hers.
Very easy to donate money that you did
not earn.

Heather is awesome. And yes, i believe Sea Shepherd have sunk ships, but so what? They don’t do it for fun, they do it to save lives. Those ships that are sunk belong to tyrants with no respect for the planet and the creatures that live here. They will not listen to reason and are only interested in money. Take out those ships, take out the threat to sea life. It’s no different to what activists did hundreds of years ago when they destroyed equipment that kept black people enslaved. You know, the people we now call “courageous”.

Heather who? A self-promoter if ever there was one.

Wow does this woman raise some controversy. I have to do some extensive research on Sea Sheperd before I comment on them. I still can’t stand her, but admit I can be influenced if people are nice to me (as she was to our dear poster) Hell I met George Bush Sr years ago and it took me a long while to see the light (or the evil in his case!) because he was just so darn nice!

Whether or not she bought the award, and whatever you may think of her, FARM now has an extra $50K to continue its work.

Even if she did write the check during dinner, she probably said, hey, I’m going to write you a big fat check, and they said, well, we’re going to give you a reward.

I’m grateful to read that unlike the Linda McCartney frozen dinners, Heather Mills will have vegan options.

“Sea Shepherd is not a group that ’sinks ships’.

Um … wrong-o. They ram and sink ships. They may do other things too, but that doesn’t excuse it.

“She donated the money during the dinner. She would have received the award regardless.”

Um … I’m not that stupid, and I doubt you are either. Groups set those things up ahead of time for maximum PR effect. PETA did it with Bill Maher and James Cromwell. PCRM did it with Alicia Silverstone. It still amounts to buying an accolade. If Leonardo DiCaprio wrote a $1 million dollar check to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences while he was on stage accepting his Oscar, don’t you think people would start to suspect the voting was rigged?
