Elisabetta Canalis: I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur

Italian superstar ElisabettaCanalis bares all for PETA's iconic anti-fur campaign and proudly declares that she'd rather go naked than wear fur. Canalis stripped down and stars in a sexy PETA ad to help spread the word about the cruelty involved in fur. "I decided to go nude because I think that nudity always creates a big reaction," she explains. "That is what is required to keep people's attention on such a brutal practice …. These poor animals are electrocuted, skinned alive, drowned, and bludgeoned just for the sake of fashion."

Every fur coat, vest, hat, or fur-trimmed accessory causes animals an immeasurable amount of suffering. Foxes, minks, rabbits, and evendogs and cats are bludgeoned, stomped, electrocuted, and gassed to death, and many are skinned while still alive. You can help put an end to this unimaginable cruelty by choosing never to buy or wear fur or fur trim.
