COVER YOUR EARS, FLEMINGTON FURS!

eonline, 13-Jun-2013: These Miss USA winners are getting naked for a cause!

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."

"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 the same pledge," Moakler said in a statement to PETA. "Kind people today are taking a stand against cruelty to animals—so a fur coat is no prize 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 to tell the pageant industry not to support the fur industry."

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.
