‘TRUE BLOOD’ STAR LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT CAPTIVE CHIMPANZEES
Kristin Bauer and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine launch
campaign on Change.org asking U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to extend
endangered species protections to captive chimpanzees.
WASHINGTON, DC – Actress Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam on HBO's True Blood,
has launched a campaign on
Change.org with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect captive
chimpanzees.
Bauer’s online
campaign asks the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to extend the
endangered species protections currently given to wild chimpanzees to
captive chimpanzees used in experiments and the entertainment industry and
kept as pets in United States.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the incredible intelligence and rich,
complex social lives of chimpanzees,” said Bauer. “It would be shameful to
see them go extinct in the wild as we continue to exploit them here in the
U.S. in invasive experiments, entertainment and as pets.”
Bauer cites studies demonstrating that when people see chimpanzees used in
commercials and interacting with humans in the media, they are more likely
to believe that chimpanzees not only make good pets, but that they are not
endangered in the wild.
“The Endangered Species Act should protect all chimpanzees, including
those being used in laboratory experiments,” said John Pippin, M.D.,
F.A.C.C., of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. “No other
developed countries allow invasive research on chimpanzees because of
ethical and scientific problems with such experiments. The U.S. must do
more to protect humankind’s closest genetic relatives.”
Bauer’s
campaign is likely to draw national attention to the lack of
protections for captive chimpanzees. The actress is encouraging True Blood
fans to sign her online petition
campaign on Change.org, the world’s fastest-growing platform for
social change.
“It’s really impressive to see Kristin Bauer rally her
fans around giving chimpanzees a voice,” said Change.org Director
of Organizing Stephanie Feldstein. “Through her
campaign n Change.org, Kristin’s fans can take action on a cause
that’s important to them. Change.org empowers anyone, anywhere to start a
campaign on issues that matter to them, and it’s been incredible to watch
this
campaign take off.”

A proposal to extend protections to captive chimpanzees is currently under
consideration by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The public comment
period for the proposal ends October 31.

TRUE BLOOD® – MUSIC FROM THE HBO® ORIGINAL SERIES – VOLUME 3 TO BE
RELEASED THIS FALL
UNIQUE DUET OF NEKO CASE & NICK CAVE TO BE RELEASED DIGITALLY ON JUNE 26
AFTER THE SERIES PREMIERE EPISODE WaterTower Music has announced the upcoming release of
“TRUE BLOOD – MUSIC FROM THE HBO ORIGINAL SERIES –
VOLUME 3” due in stores and online this fall. The follow
up to the first two Grammy® nominated soundtracks will
consist of new songs from the upcoming forth season of the
acclaimed HBO drama as well as music from the show’s
wildly successful 3rd season. Music is an essential element in developing the tone and atmosphere on the
hit television series. The sexy, supernatural world of Bon Temps comes to
pulsating life through the edgy songs and season three is no exception.
An exceptional duet recorded by Neko Case and Nick Cave will be the first
track from the collection to make its debut. Case and Cave have recorded a
new version of The Zombies’ classic “She’s Not There” which will
be available at all digital retailers on June 26, after the premiere
episode. "I am so excited about Neko and Nick's cover of ‘She's Not There,’"
says True Blood music supervisor and soundtrack producer Gary Calamar.
“I would have been thrilled to have either Neko Case or Nick Cave
individually work with us this season, but to have a collaboration like
this blows me away. Two of my favorite artists whose music is perfect a
fit with the atmospheric and soulful Louisiana settings of True Blood.
This is a fantastic way to musically kick off the new season!” Washington-bred Neko Case’s mix of country, gospel, torch, and pop, and
her five full-length solo albums have won her much critical acclaim,
countless devotees and two Grammy nominations. Internationally renowned as
a singer, songwriter, performer, script writer and novelist, Nick Cave’s
career spans from the 80s Australian post-punk group The Birthday Party,
to legendary band Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds to the irrepressible raucous
and raw Grinderman. Information on the additional tracks included in “TRUE BLOOD – MUSIC
FROM THE HBO ORIGINAL SERIES – VOLUME 3” will be released later this
summer.
Centered in the fictional town of Bon Temps, the Emmy® and Golden
Globe®-winning True Blood series follows the romance between waitress
Sookie Stackhouse (played by Anna Paquin), who can read minds, and
173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (played by Stephen Moyer). Alan Ball
(creator of the Emmy®-winning HBO series Six Feet Under) is creator and
executive producer the show, which is based on the best-selling Sookie
Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. Gary Calamar serves as music supervisor and soundtrack producer for of
