Olympic Gold Medalist Poses Nude for PETA Campaign

Posted on August 10, 2008 by Matt Embrey in News+Opinion

Olympic swimming gold medalist Amanda Beard launched her naked, anti-fur campaign poster for PETA this week at the Beijing Olympics.  She posed nude in the PETA campaign because she loves animals and is horrified to see how fur is produced for fashion in some places.  The original campaign launch was scheduled to take place inside the Olympic Village, however, she was forced to unveil the poster outside the village gates after Chinese Authorities canceled the scheduled event because of safety concerns.
