"Dancing with the Stars" contestant Kelly Osbourne is speaking out for the protection of baby seals.
Kelly is teaming up with PETA in their campaign to Save the Seals. "The saddest thing for me is just knowing baby seals, some of [whom] have not even had their first meal, are going to be killed, and most of them are probably still alive when they're skinning them. And there are no laws, nothing to stop them, so it's just going to get worse," Kelly said.

Read on for details… Responding to a 911 hang up call on February 8 of this year, a Larimer County, CO, police officer filed the report saying that as he approached the Heene residence, he overheard a male voice yelling loudly that "sounded quite angry" and a female voice that sounded like "a scream or squeal."
