Stars are lining up to pose in PETA’s striking “Save the Seals” T-shirt for a brand-new ad series aimed at ending the slaughter. In addition to Hilton and Osbourne, the celebs sporting the tee in the first installment of print ads launching this week are CSI’s Jorja Fox, hunks Brody Jenner of The Hills and Owain Yeoman of The Mentalist; Twilight star Christian Serratos; Jackass star Steve-O; Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer and Grace Park; playmates Holly Madison and Jayde Nicole; 90210 alum Jennie Garth; indie rockers Animal Collective; The Office star Lucy Davis; actor Rachael Leigh Cook; Natalie Dreyfuss of Rita Rocks; boxer “Sugar” Shane Mosley; pro cyclist Levi Leipheimer; and U.S. Olympic Team snowboarder Hannah Teter. This summer, Sarah McLachlan previewed the PETA tee at the Canada Day concert, where the singer condemned the slaughter.
Says Osbourne, “The saddest thing for me is just knowing baby seals, some of [whom] have not even had their first meal, are going to be killed, and most of them are probably still alive when they’re skinning them. And there are no laws, nothing to stop them, so it’s just going to get worse.”
During the annual massacre, sealers shoot these gentle animals or bash their heads in, and the baby seals are often skinned alive while their wailing mothers helplessly watch. The European Union and the U.S. have banned seal products, and world leaders—including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and President Barack Obama—have spoken out against the massacre.
