Los Angeles, July 1: Former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson has auctioned her 2000 Dodge Viper car for USD 65,000 as a donation to an anti-snake slaughter campaign.

Michael McGraw, spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said the group will use the cash to raise awareness about the cruel methods used to skin animals such as snakes and crocodiles, particularly in India.

According to PETA, snakes used in bags and shoes are often skinned alive and suffer for hours or even days before dying.

Anderson's 450-horsepower car, which boasts a top speed of 190 mph (305 kph), was sold recently at a Las Vegas auction of Hollywood memorabilia.
