Miley Cyrus will receive PETA’s Compassionate Citizen Award

miley cyrus dogs 130409

Last week, Miley Cyrus’s co-star spoke to Fox News about how much Miley loved the union chickens that were working the Hannah Montana: The Movie set. Miley loved the chickens so much, she hijacked them and made her mom bring them home. It was a cute story, and one that didn’t go unnoticed.

PETA decided to reward Miley with a “Compassionate Citizen Award”, technically given by peta2, the youth division of PETA. Unlike some all-or-nothing statements from PETA (stuff along the lines of “Stop eating meat, the end.”), PETA’s Miley/chicken statement is pretty nice: “We hope that her act of compassion will inspire her fans to be kind to animals too.”

Last week Pop Tarts exclusively reported that Miley Cyrus stole chickens from the set of her new movie “Hannah Montana” and took them home as pets.

The deed has earned the sweet 16-year-old a Compassionate Citizen Award from peta2, the youth division of PETA.

“Miley’s heart is as big as her smile,” Dan Shannon , PETA’s assistant director of Youth Outreach and Campaigns said in a statement. “We hope that her act of compassion will inspire her fans to be kind to animals too.”

Cyrus will receive a framed certificate and a card signed by staffers at the animal rights organization.

Of course, PETA will still issue a harsh statement if Miley decides to wear fur or eat a steak. But today, Miley is on PETA’s good side. I wonder what kind of chicken coop Miley has set up at her house? Or maybe Miley decided to let the chickens roam free, unburdened by union contracts.

On another PETA-related sidenote, while Angelina Jolie was filming Salt in New York, she was photographed wearing what looked like a chinchilla fur-lined muu-muu with a matching fur cap. PETA released a statement after the photographs were published, claiming that they had assurances from Salt publicists that Angelina was actually wearing synchilla, a popular synthetic chinchilla.

    She’ll only let them run free if she wants poop everywhere. If she’s smart, (which ok, I know….) she’ll create an area away from the house for them. They stink!

    Do her teeth even fit in her mouth?

    -_- PETA….oh, how I hate you.
    But good for Miley…I think? For some reason I picture her running around in a field of chickens singing “Born Free”

    Those are her weekend teeth Bodhi – she saves the really giant horse teeth for when she’s out shopping.
