Sunny Leone for PeTA

Indo-Canadian adult entertainment star (and the lead actress of Jism-2) Sunny Leone, stars in a brand-new advertisement for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India.

Leone – who was named 2003 Penthouse Pet of the Year – wants her legions of adoring fans to know that the only way to fight the worldwide homeless-cat and -dog crisis is always to have companion animals sterilised. The ad was shot by photographer Gaurav Sawn, and Leone’s hair and make-up were done by Ayesha Wadiwala.

Says the actress, “I believe in not buying, but adopting, instead. And it’s because there are so many dogs out there that need a home, that were left on the streets. They just need that love, and if you can rescue an animal, then that’s one of the greatest gifts you can give. I believe that every single dog should be spayed and neutered. You don’t want to continue the cycle of homeless dogs or cats. And spaying and neutering also keeps them healthy and prevents them from contracting different diseases.”

For the record, Leone shares her home in Los Angeles with two rescued dogs.
