The Hills' Audrina Patridge is the Latest Face of PETA
The Hills star Audrina Patridge is the latest celebrity in angel wings. Posing wearing a sexy white bikini, cradling rescue dog ‘Speedy Gonzales’, Audrina is the latest billboard image for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
Last year PETA featured Baby Phat designer Kimora Lee Simmons to raise awareness of the cruelty of canine chaining. This year’s billboard highlights the adoption of animals with the slogan “Be an Angel for Animals. ALWAYS ADOPT. NEVER BUY”.
This particular message certainly rides on the skirt tales of the recent controversy surrounding the presidential pooch ‘Bo’ — the Portuguese water dog given to the Obama family by Senator Edward Kennedy.
