When you think Paris Hilton and animal rights, you probably think of her irresponsible puppy purchases. She has been known to buy furry friends from shops in LA that support puppy mills. Hmm…then why did the Humane Society honor her at this year’s Sundance Film Festival? Well, Paris Hilton has donated $100,000 to Scott Lazerson's Interface Foundation during a dinner for Nigel Barker’s new documentary A Sealed Fate and offered to be the face of Marine Rocks Beading Center, a children's cancer advocacy group. Perhaps she is changing her party-going, puppy mill pup buying ways! Either way, the Humane Society is happy and has given Paris a commemorative plaque in recognition of her support for the “save the seals” cause.

Who knows, maybe she’ll stop wearing fur next!
