Maggie Q for
PETA (
People for the
Ethical
Treatment of
Animals). PETA is the largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than 3 million members and supporters :
PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of
animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in the clothing trade, in laboratories, and in the entertainment industry. PETA also works on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds, and other "pests" as well as cruelty to domesticated animal.
The
PETA "Naked" Campaign began several years ago when demonstrators (both male and female) marched behind a huge banner proclaiming that they would
rather go naked than wear fur. More naked demonstrations were held all over the world, the idea caught on, and we started receiving offers from celebrities, including
Christy Turlington, Marcus Schenkenberg, Kim Basinger, designer Todd Oldham, and
Pamela Anderson to participate. The campaign has been hugely successful.
