In a campaign organised by the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and AnimaNaturalis animal rights group in Spain, the famous ‘movida’ pop singer Alaska, has taken off her clothes in protest at bullfighting.

The campaign slogan is ‘The naked truth – bullfighting is cruel’, and at a press conference to launch the campaign today the singer claimed that even now ‘there are people whose attitudes are starting to change’.

Photographer Juan Gatti captured the singer naked for the campaign and then added three ‘banderillas’ spiked into her back.
Alaska said she wanted to ‘make a noise’. ‘I probably won’t convince the convinced’, she said, ‘but there are people who are starting to change’.

‘There is an animal’, she added, ‘which has not asked to be there’.

Alaska thus adds her name to the supports of PETA which already includes the likes of Naomi Campbell and Linda McCartney.
