After posing for Playboy in 2007, she has again dropped her clothes for PETA in 2008. Several athletes have followed her and have posed unclothed for PETA. To prevent the slaughtering of animals for their furs, Amanda Beard said, “Seeing animals slaughtered to be worn as fashion is awful to me, so I’m definitely against wearing fur… I’d much rather go naked than ever put a dead animal on my body.” Sources stated that she does not consume meat and follows a strict vegetarian diet.

Apart from Amanda Beard, many other athletes have tried to protest animal slaughter in different ways and posing for PETA is one of them. Recently, Karina Smirnoff, with her athlete husband Tony Gonzalez dropped their clothes for the animal rights group and supported their cause.
