Welcome to a new Jewcy feature that spotlights attractive people who fight for peace, justice, equality, freedom and the American Way. Horses Are Friends, Not Food: Babe with a CauseToday's Activist Hottie is former Playboy model Bo Derek, who this week started a campaign to ban the slaughter of Canada's horses. (Ironically, the American ban on horse meat "could lead to the slaughter of 100,000 animals in Canada this year." Good job, hippies!)

"Horses are never bred to be eaten," Derek says. "It's very brutal."

What are horses good for, if not a quick snack, according to Bo? Riding "buck" naked, of course! (Warning: nudity and creepiness.)

Strangely, for such an animal lover and exhibitionist, she is a hardcore Republican, but when it comes to ponies she's a dove -- and that's why Bo Derek is our Activist Hottie of the Week.
