Sunny Leone has often made headlines for her bold photoshoots and sensational statements among others, but this time the actor and her musician husband Daniel Webber have come together to promote animal-free fashion. Interestingly, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India campaign features the two wearing just a little more than tattoos between them.
Leone in a statement said, “We live in a world with such amazing advances in vegan materials and options for everyone. There is no reason for anyone to support cruelty in any form. Synthetic leather, mock croc, and even faux fur are some of the many great options."
“We need to be a voice for animals and make sure we understand that, without them, there is no us. We must co-exist and learn to respect," added Weber.
The ad, which has been shot by ace photographer Subi Samuel and styled by Hitendra Kapoor, has been unveiled during the World Vegan Month.
A statement from PETA also noted that millions of foxes, minks, rabbits, and even dogs and cats are bludgeoned, electrocuted, and skinned alive each year for fur coats, collars, and cuffs. Lizards are cut apart with machetes, snakes are nailed to trees, and alligators and crocodiles are impaled with metal rods for exotic-skin accessories, while cows killed for leather in India are often hacked at with dull knives while they’re still conscious.
Leone was named PETA’s Person of the Year in 2016 and previously starred in the pro-vegetarian and dog and cat sterilisation campaigns. On the professional front, Leone will be seen next in Tera Intezaar opposite Arbaaz Khan.
