Ahead of this weekend's 2013 Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas, past
winners Shanna Moakler (1995), Shandi Finnessey (2004), Susie Castillo
(2003) and Alyssa Campanella (2011) are stripping down and posing nude
in a sexy new ad for animal rights organization PETA.
In the gorgeous black and white photo, the four lovely ladies stand
side-by-side while gazing into the camera next to the words next to
the words, "Feel Beautiful in Your Own Skin, and Let Animals Keep
Theirs."
Moakler, Finnessey, Castillo and Campanella have joined with PETA to
urge the pageant industry as a whole to adopt a universal fur-free
policy. Additionally, the former Miss USAs want pageants nationwide to
stop awarding fur coats as prizes, as some state pageants still offer
these gifts as prizes to winners.
"As long as I'm the director of Miss Nevada, we will never award fur
coats as prizes, and I urge my fellow pageant directors to make
thesame pledge," Moakler said in a statement to PETA. "Kind people
today are taking a stand against cruelty to animals—so a fur coat is
noprize for a compassionate, socially-aware woman."
"I've been an animal lover all my life, and the more I learned of the
torture that animals go through in the name of fashion, I just think
it's so unnecessary," Castillo says. She added that she feels
"blessed" to team up with her pageant sisters "to take a stand united
and totell the pageant industry not to support the fur industry."
