Anderson advocates for animal rights, and is an active member of the animal protection organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/oct/22/pamela-anderson-poster-peta-vegetarianism|title=Pamela Anderson poster for Peta urges vegetarianism, provocative style|work=The Guardian|first=Sam|last=Jones|date=October 22, 2010|access-date=August 9, 2021}}

She became the center of controversy when she posed for a PETA ad wearing a bikini with sections drawn on her body dividing it into ribs, rump, shoulder, etc., like a diagram of meat cuts; the ad's tagline was "All Animals Have the Same Parts". The ad was banned in Montreal, Quebec on grounds that it was sexist. Anderson retorted, "In a city that is known for its exotic dancing and for being progressive and edgy, how sad that a woman would be banned from using her own body in a political protest over the suffering of cows and chickens. In some parts of the world, women are forced to cover their whole bodies with burqas – is that next? I didn't think that Canada would be so puritanical."{{cite news|url=https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/news/pamela-anderson-blocked-from-montreal-event-for-sexist-ad-2010157/|title=Pamela Anderson's Nearly Naked PETA Ad Banned in Canada|work=Us Weekly|date=July 15, 2010|access-date=January 31, 2018}}

In October 2019, Anderson announced she would be travelling to Australia in November 2019 to challenge Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to stand up for Assange.

She also wrote another letter to Morrison asking him to use his influence to secure Assange's release. Morrison replied with a letter, saying that his government would respect Britain's judicial process and Assange would not receive any special help.

In 1995, personal home videos of Anderson with her then-husband Tommy Lee filmed on a houseboat on Lake Mead were stolen and sold as a sex tape, which resulted in a legal fight and made her the subject of controversy.{{cite web|url=https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/a38812754/pam-and-tommy-true-story-pamela-anderson-sex-tape/ |title=The Mad, Sad True Story of 'Pam and Tommy' & the Stolen Sex Tape |publisher=Esquire.com |date= February 9, 2022|access-date=2022-03-14}} Anderson sued the video distribution company, Internet Entertainment Group, who posted the video on their website ClubLove in November 1997.{{Cite web |date=2022-02-02 |title=Timeline: Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's sex tape saga, as it happened |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2022-02-02/timeline-pamela-anderson-tommy-lee-sex-tape-marriage-divorce-hulu |access-date=2023-02-11 |website=Los Angeles Times}} Anderson was pregnant during the trial and, fearful of the extreme stress causing harm to her pregnancy, dismissed the case.

The story of the tape was later portrayed in the Hulu 2022 miniseries Pam & Tommy. In her 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story, Anderson said that she was not consulted about the production of the series. Critics, journalists, and academics posited that the series was profiting off of Anderson's trauma without her consent, and likely doing further harm to her.{{Cite magazine |date=2022-02-02 |title=Is Hulu's 'Pam & Tommy' Exploiting Pamela Anderson All Over Again? |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/02/pamela-anderson-tommy-lee-pam-tommy-hulu |access-date=2023-02-22 |magazine=Vanity Fair}}{{Cite news |last=Horton |first=Adrian |date=2022-02-15 |title=Exploiting the exploited: the problem with Pam & Tommy|work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/feb/15/pam-and-tommy-hulu-series-pamela-anderson-consent |access-date=2023-02-22 |issn=0261-3077}} Pamela, a Love Story verified those claims, in Anderson's own words.{{Cite web |last=Bucksbaum |first=Sydney |title=Pamela Anderson will 'never, never watch' 'Pam & Tommy,' source says |url=https://ew.com/tv/pamela-anderson-will-never-watch-pam-and-tommy/ |access-date=2023-02-22 |website=EW.com |date=February 11, 2022}} Producers of the series were able to develop the series without her participation, permission, or consent by optioning the rights to an article published by Rolling Stone in 2014.{{Cite magazine |last=Bucksbaum |first=Sydney |date=January 31, 2022 |title=How Pam & Tommy was made without Pamela Anderson's involvement (or permission) |url=https://ew.com/tv/pam-and-tommy-made-without-pamela-anderson/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202035638/https://ew.com/tv/pam-and-tommy-made-without-pamela-anderson/ |archive-date=February 2, 2022 |access-date=February 1, 2022 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly}} Some critics felt that this was a similar violation of privacy that mirrored the tape originally being stolen and distributed without Anderson's and Lee's consent.{{Cite magazine |last=Lewis |first=Amanda Chicago |date=2014-12-22 |title=Pam & Tommy: The Story of the World's Most Infamous Sex Tape |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/pam-and-tommy-the-untold-story-of-the-worlds-most-infamous-sex-tape-194776/ |access-date=2023-02-22 |magazine=Rolling Stone}}
