Elisabetta Canalis, George Clooney's Girlfriend, Strips Nude For PETA (NSFW VIDEO)

Elisabetta Canalis is the latest star of PETA's anti-fur campaign, stripping down in a nude photo shoot for the cause.

The 32-year-old Italian model and TV host, girlfriend of George Clooney, told ET in the video below that she first became aware of the cruelty of the fur trade from a documentary she watched as a child, which showed how animals were killed by electrocution, drowning and other methods.

According to PETA.org, "More than half the fur in the U.S. comes from China, where millions of dogs and cats are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and often skinned alive for their fur."

"Doing PETA's campaign has always been my dream," Canalis said. "This is the best reason why I get naked in my life."

A representative from PETA said still photos from Canalis' nude shoot haven't officially been released yet, and the final advertisement won't be out until the fall. The organization has released behind the scenes footage from the shoot, which can be seen in the ET video below.

For the right inducement, I could be convinced to keep my clothes on.
Really, no one would enjoy seeing me naked.

PETA is a total crook. I waited for them to come out when we learned that Sarah Palin was shooting wolves from a chopper, but nothing from PETA. Then, a few months, someone swatted a fly and PETA hearld it in rage and alerted the media. A fly. Really.

They must connect on a whole other level (George & Elisabetta) cuz it surely ain't through her exemplary conversation skills.

Considering English is not her native language, she is still more articulate than George W. Bush, so not too bad.

Oy..remind me, how does her posing in the nude help these animals ?

And I was thinking Clooney had a classy girlfriend that last time I saw them together...wrong.

From this side of the computer it looks like she wants to expose herself to the world..sharing her beauty, if you will.
Thats fine..as she says...she is an adult and if that does it for her...no one is being forced to look.

If she doesn't mind the thoughts and actions that come along with ogling her...again, thats her business...but to shield what she is doing by saying it is for the safety and well being of animals..
this makes no sense at all.

Sorry George...looks like your women have one thing in common...the need to be seen. V.

Yes, Clearpepsi...You are right....I am sad.
Sad for what we have done to this planet...sad for the creatures...for the abuse we have subjected them to...sad for young women who think the best/greatest gift they can give is to show themselves naked to the world.

Do I think she is beautiful...look at her...she is a perfect example of youth and health..yes, she is beautiful...please tell me how her nakedness helps in any way?

If she made a public statement to be more aware of how her life and how she lives it affects the planet...and makes a promise to herself to be as aware as possible to treat all who come her way with grace...two footed and four footed animals alike...then...she would be setting an example.
And THAT would be something.

But I think you and I will most likely agree to disagree on this issue.
And thats o.k. In the end it is how we behave not how we look that really matters. V.

Huh, I must be the last guy on the planet who thinks it really sucks for a group doing great work like PETA to use this sort of crap to promote itself. Seriously? Nude women and animal rights, whose in charge of marketing, Hugh Hefner? And I agree with Panasonic and Marcusaurielius when I see these oh so pretty people out on the front lines I'll take them seriously, but till then?
