Buffy alum Eliza Dushku has caused more stress to animal rights activists after she divulged that she’s into elk and deer hunting, after she gave up vampire slaying, that is. 

During her guest appearance at talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday, Dushku got into a swanking mood and boasted about her hunting skills. The highlight of her tale: She had slain Rudolph a deer in Oklahoma last Christmas.

She also said that she was out elk hunting in Colorado when she won her role in the forthcoming Dollhouse TV series.

When she noticed that the studio audience were frozen shock at the thought of Bambis dying from her arrow shots, Dushku quipped, "My mother called me herself and said, 'You're a liberal from New England, what the 'f' are you doing in Oklahoma shooting things."

While the actress may have come across as cool for some people for taking up the sport, she lost most of them when she said, "When you're in a relationship with somebody you have to, like, experience things that they do."

However, she got their interest back when she uttered, "A lot of people eat meat ... and I eat what I kill."

And as expected, Pam Anderson’s BFFs suddenly became interested in her, too. The angry kind of interest.

PETA, or PEople for Tasty Animals People for the Ethical Treatments of Animals, is once again on the attack mode.

A spokesperson for the organization (whose Grand PooBahs reportedly hold meetings dressed in water buffalo horns and Flintstone pelts) says, "Slaying bloodthirsty vampires on 'Buffy' is brave, but slaying innocent animals where they live and raise their families is cowardly and cruel.

"Eliza is sorely out of step with the rest of the country; 95 percent of Americans oppose hunting."

Really? If 95% are against hunting, then the person next to you is an airborne skunk.

The statistics are a bit odd considering that 95% of Americans aren't exactly into leafy vegetables.

PETA, who some people think should eat compost, need to do some serious research. Their statistics seem generated and self-serving.

Those over at PETA, STFU, WTF or however people refer to them should just try and understand Faith. She’s used to slaying creatures.

Anywaaay, PETA should just chill and get on with their knitting sessions. Many people love animals – medium rare with mashed potatoes on the side, please, thank you.
