Kristy Lee Cook Tells PETA To Simmer Down
Supporters of “American Idol” will no doubt recall Kristy Lee Cook, the fresh-faced young cowgirl from Selma, Ore., who rode her country style all the way to seventh place on season seven of the singing competition in 2008. The country in Cook – along with her photogenic appearance – are what led to her role in the new Versus hunting and reality show “Goin’ Country”. That hunting has regrettably set animal rights rodeo clown PETA upon her like a Michael Vick fighting dog. The controversial organization is waiting for Kristy Lee Cook’s full mea culpa.
Kristy Lee Cook has called PETA’s bluff
In a public statement, Kristy Lee Cook did not mince words when it comes to her “Goin’ Country” roots. PETA made a public statement lambasting Cook for not following the path of “Idol” alums Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler and Simon Cowell, who have all participated in public animal rights advertising for PETA. Cook, who supports animal rights, fired back at the bully organization. She told Fox that “Given that hunters have done more for American wildlife conservation than any other group in history, I make no apology for being one”. “Indeed, I join the ranks of millions of American hunters who celebrate our outdoor heritage and who conserve millions of acres of wild lands. These same individuals support more than 600,000 jobs across the country and provide a critical voice to encourage more investment in American conservation”.
She sings, she hunts
“Goin’ Country” gives viewers a slice of the Cook life. Much of her time is devoted to her animal charity, the “Kristy Lee Horse Heaven Foundation”. One of the recreational activities depicted within the show is family hunting trips. During the program, Cook makes a point of showing that she handles hunting in a responsible fashion, focusing on conservation and healthy roles meat can play in one’s diet. “If I do not take the meat home to my family, then we give it to orphanages or homeless shelters,” she said.
Getting meat intelligent
Those who criticize responsible, controlled hunting may not know about the role scientists believe meat has played in human evolution. Anthropologist Leslie Aiello notes that when human beings started to eat meat, a major change occurred.Specifically, she told NPR that “What we think is that this dietary change around 2.3 million years ago was one of the major significant factors within the evolution of our own species”. The use of tools in hunting for and cutting up meat went hand in hand with brain development. Fat and calories from meat were instrumental in human brain growth because of the influx of energy from something other than comparative mass quantities of vegetable. In theory, the more energy-efficient transaction gave brains what they needed to grow larger. Cooking, which came not long after meat eating started for humans, further aided in brain development through its social and division of labor aspects.
