Chilli is the latest star for PETA’s new anti-circus campaign which aims to raise awareness against animal cruelty in circuses. The ad, where the TLC star strips down to striped body paint is specifically aimed at raising awareness about tigers used by circuses who are beaten into submission and locked away in cramped and dirty cages.
Says Chilli:
“There’s so much cruelty behind the scenes, which is a something that a lot of people don’t get to see. They’re being mean to them to make them do this trick .… And I think that everybody needs to be aware of what’s really going on.”
On why she decided to strip down for the cause:
“If you can raise awareness to something that’s important, such as this, then you should,” she says. “Because I know for a fact that I would never want to be in a cage.”
