Singer and TLC member Chilli is stripped of her clothes and painted as a tiger to protest animal cruetly in the circus. She partners with Peta for their new campaign “Beaten, Lonely, and Abused: Boycott the Circus.” According to PETA, animals are forced to endure a lifetime of abuse and loneliness at the hands of the circus.
Chilli says:
“There’s so much cruelty behind the scenes,” said Chilli. “They’re being mean to them to make them do this trick that everybody sees and thinks that the animal really wants to do it. And I think that everybody needs to be aware of what’s really going on.” She is using her platform to make a difference. “I think it’s very important to use your celebrity for positive things,” she said. “If you can raise awareness to something that’s important such as this, then you should.”
