The animal advocacy group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has found a way to draw attention to their cause.
The organization has a knack for convincing celebrities to take their clothes off.
The latest is Amanda Beard Olympic swimming star and model. See video, CLICK HERE.
Beard has won seven Olympic medals in the years, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008.
PETA was able to get attention of the public and law and policy makers through the use of actresses posing in various stages of undress, most notably Pamela Anderson.
Beard posed without wearing her swimsuit for the group in August 2008. Her ad was featured at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
"Seeing animals slaughtered to be worn as fashion is awful to me, so I’m definitely against wearing fur … I’d much rather go naked than ever put a dead animal on my body," the caption read.
Other athletes jumped in to the PETA poster club including Atlanta Falcons tight-end Tony Gonzalez and his wife appearing in ads in October, 2009.
"Dancing with the Stars" regular, Karina Smirnoff, showed her clothing optional choreography for PETA as well.
Beard had experience in nude photo modeling having posed for Playboy in 2007. Perhaps the magazine focused on the swimmer in 2003, when Beard held the world record for the 200-meter breaststroke.
