AceShowbiz - British actor Jamie Bamber, who is known for starring as Lee 'Apollo' Adama in TV series "Battlestar Galactica", sheds his clothes off and poses topless for the latest PETA's ad campaign, which is aimed to help saving black bears killed for their fur. "Bears suffer and die for the Queen's guards' caps. Support the campaign to end this cruelty," so read the tagline that accompanies his ad, featured as the news photo.
"I initially decided to do the PETA ad because a great friend of mine in L.A., Lucy Davis, had just done a similar ad, and I love Lucy and it was a cause I didn't know about - I'll be honest. So as soon as Lucy opened my eyes, I was thrilled to join her and do my bit," Jamie says of his involvement in the cause. Offering a solution to the issue, he explains, "The obvious alternative [to real fur] is to make caps out of faux fur. You know, use synthetic materials to avoid killing a beautiful animal. They're not to keep warm. It's not particularly freezing outside Buckingham Palace. You could wear something else. And you could certainly wear faux fur."
Jamie Bamber's full interview with PETA regarding the killing of black bears is featured in a footage, which is available for peek at PETA.
