Laura Vandervoort has become the latest star to strip for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' (PETA) anti-fur campaign.
The Smallville star shed her clothes and had her body painted to resemble a lizard for the wild 'Whose Skin Are You In? Leave Wildlife Out Of Your Wardrobe' photoshoot, during which she pretended to crawl over a rock.
She says, "Three or four alligators have to die for one purse. They
nail the snake's head to a tree while it is still alive and peel
its skin off,.
"Because they are cold-blooded creatures, they take that much
longer to die, so they suffer that much longer... You wouldn't skin
your dog to wear to an event, to go out on a date... So please,
have some compassion for animals."
