PETA’s Naked Celebrity Activism
Celebrities from every corner of the entertainment industry have posed in various states of undress in support of PETA’s motto: “Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.”
Beginning in 1989 with the iconic rock band The Go-Go’s, PETA changed the game of celebrity activism by asking famous people to expose themselves in the most vulnerable way and created a campaign that was hard for both the media and the public to ignore.
Since then, the simple message “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” has evolved—and celebrities are now going naked instead of donning wool, leather, or exotic skins as well.
Check out some of the famous faces who have dared to go bare for animals!
