Peta asks Prince Harry to whip off his clothes

Peta - the animal rights pressure group - has penned a letter to Prince Harry asking him to strip off for its 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' campaign.

The 32-year-old royal has received a letter from the animal rights pressure group asking him to strip off for its 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' movement in a bid to show people around the globe that he is a solid animal lover.

The organisation uploaded a copy of the letter, which proposes he bares his bottom, on its website earlier this week.

The open letter reads: "I hope you won't find us too forward for taking the opportunity of the Leap Year to come to you with a proposal - namely, to star in our iconic "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign.

"Now more than ever, it's crucial to urge people to take a stand against fur. Most fur comes from China, where there are no penalties for abusing animals on farms.

"Confined to tiny, filthy cages, animals raised on fur farms go insane before they're poisoned, gassed or anally electrocuted. Some animals are even skinned alive ...

"...By showing some of your skin, you would do a great deal to save animals' skins. What's more, compassion is a big turn-on, but fur-wearers leave the British public cold - and 95 per cent of us refuse to wear it.

"We hope you'll consider using your unique and influential position to help with this life-saving campaign (sic)."

Mimi Bekhechi, director of the organisation, then signed off the letter by including the names of celebrities - such as Sir Paul McCartney, Kate Winslet and Joss Stone - who have already whipped off their clothes for the good cause.
