Following in the footsteps of Pink, Paul McCartney and Kesha, Joss Stone has teamed up with animal rights charity PETA to raise awareness of cruelty against animals.

In support of its latest campaign, which is fighting against the killing and skinning of reptiles for fashion, the singer has posed naked covered in body paint to create a reptile camouflage.

In the photo, captioned, ‘Exotic animals have souls. Never wear them. Three animals are killed to make one crocodile bag’, Stone can be seen with a poignant expression and tears streaming down her face.

PETA is working to end cruelty against these animals after the group exposed poor conditions at the crocodile farms that supply skins to many luxury handbag brands.

Stone talked about her support for the movement as an animal lover, saying, ‘Although I'm not as familiar with crocodiles as I am with dogs and horses, I know that all animals are capable of suffering.

‘I hope when people see footage of what happens to crocodiles and alligators killed for their skin to be turned into handbags, they'll join me in leaving wildlife out of their wardrobes.’
