Don't worry guys, Pamela Anderson wrote a letter to Xi Jinping about elephants

Baby elephants are really cute and it sucks when they die, so Pamela Anderson is going to fix everything.

Anderson has personally written a letter to "english@mail.gov.cn," addressed to Xi Jinping himself, which sounds like it will be about as effective as emailing "president@america.net" and thinking that Barack will be really involved in your letter.

Anderson, who is an 'honorary director' at PETA, writes:

"As a mother [of elephants?] I have been deeply upset..." off to a good start.

The letter begs Xi Jinping and the Chinese government to stop "profiteering at the expense of wildlife," specifically the purchasing of African elephant parts in China, where they are often used as status symbols or in Chinese medicine.

Don't get us wrong - China-fueled poaching in Africa is huge problem, and it's not wrong for celebrities to get involved. Yao Ming, for example, has been rocking it on the anti-poaching front.

But Yao isn't out there writing personal letters to Xi Jinping at some rando Zhongnanhai PR department email address.
