It's common knowledge that the Kaulitz Twins Bill and Tom are vegetarians and staunch animal lovers, so it came as no surprise when the German media announced today that the Tokio Hotel twins are taking part in a new PETA campaign. The campaign features Bill and Tom in some very disturbing poses, including being locked in chains—complete with bloody wrists—and being trapped in a cage. But it's all for a good cause: PETA's campaign called “Wild Animals Out of the Circus”.

According to SpreadNews.de, the campaign is for a new PETA poster, which highlights the cruelty done to animals in the entertainment industry, including the circus.
The boys subjected themselves to some pretty heartbreaking stuff to do the campaign, including having their hands bound in heavy chains and being chained to cage bars.
As Bill said in a PETA behind the scenes short documentary,
People look at the animals and think, “This is funny and the animals are having fun”, but the reality is very, very different.
He went on to say that
You must imagine animals who've had such a life for so long. Circus performances with animals should be forbidden. There must be enough other interesting alternatives.
And finally, Tom made the point that many families bring their children to the circus and children don't know the difference. It's up to the parents to educate themselves what goes into the making of such shows.

Wow! that really gave me the shivers.
Get cause & great campainge........still
hearing the word "Chains" & Tokio Hotel sure wet my whistle!
Why did this have to be for the most annoying organization ever created?
I think its good that the twins get behind theas things because if it was a normal person how many of us would have heard about it, anyway my point is that without the support of celebrities not very many charitys and orgenisations would get off the ground
