Supporters of “American Idol” will no doubt remember 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. Her country styling’s were probably what paved the way for her most recent role on the Versus channel show “Goin’ Country,” where the hunting and singing are fine. The hunting in unique has made an enemy of the publicity-grabbing animal rights organization PETA. The headline-grabbing group is after a public apology from Kristy Lee Cook.

Kristy Lee Cook has called PETA’s bluff
According to Fox News, Kristy Lee Cook makes no apologies for her participation with “Goin’ Country”. 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. “Given that hunters have done more for American wildlife conservation than any other group in history, I make no apology for being one,” Cook told Fox. ”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 people support more than 600,000 jobs across the country and provide a critical voice to encourage more investment in American conservation”.
Kristy Lee Cook hunts, sings and goes organic
“Goin’ Country” depicts the daily life of Kristy Lee Cook, from the work of trying to make it in the music organization to life’s lighter moments. Her charity organization, the “Kristy Lee Horse Heaven Foundation,” also receives attention. Among her family’s recreational pursuits is hunting. 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 don’t take the meat home to my family, then we give it to orphanages or homeless shelters,” she said.
Meat is good for you, says science
Meat is valuable to human evolution, something that PETA and other hunting-critical groups tend to ignore. Anthropologist Leslie Aiello told NPR that when humans became meat-eaters, major changes in evolution started to occur.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”. Using tools was a large part of the brain development that went on when meat eating began for humans. 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. The theory is that meat gave the brain a more efficient supply of energy – that might be effortlessly processed – thus making it easier for the brain to grow. The subsequent invention of cooking also helped brain development, as it demands social interaction and division of work.!
