Pregnant Marisa Miller bares all for PETA ad
Mum-to-be Marisa Miller has stripped down for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)'s latest campaign against themepark Sea World.
The model, who is pregnant with her second child will appear naked in posters for PETA's SeaWorldOfHurt initiative.
The marine park came under fire following the 2013 release of
hard-hitting documentary Blackfish, which details the alleged
cruelty in keeping marine mammals captive.
In the new photo shoot, Miller proudly shows off her baby belly
while lying nude in a bathtub, suggesting the themepark's whales
don't have a lot of room to move in enclosures.
Explaining her decision to become the latest pregnant beauty to
bare all, Miller tells People magazine, "I've always been an animal
lover and I do a lot with ocean conservation. I always see dolphins
when I surf, but I didn't have the knowledge about how they (killer
whales and dolphins) are acquired. When Blackfish came out, I saw
it and I was so upset.
"I was so unaware of the realities about how the whales are
captured, how they are separated and their emotional capacity. This
is an animal whose babies never leave their mother's side their
whole life. So, as a mother, I have a totally different perspective
on relating to that."
She continues, "Even the tanks they do their ridiculous tricks in
are way bigger than where they actually sleep. They're completely
confined... The animals are ripped apart from their family, they
have to be drugged to handle the environment they're in.
"There are other ways to experience them. There is a way that you
can rehabilitate the animals in an environment that they can swim
and you can go check them out. It’s about awareness. Once the
public knows, then they can make their own choices."
Miller previously bared all for another nude photo shoot for Allure
magazine while pregnant with her now-two-year-old son, Gavin.
