Jenna Dewan shows her animal side in new PETA ad

“I couldn’t believe that that is what happens for a wallet or a purse,”

The Step Up actress decided to swap her dance costume for snakeskin body paint, in order to express her opposition on the use of fashion accessories made from snakes, lizards, alligators and all other animals in the new "Wearing Exotic Skins Kills" PETA ad.

“There are many fashionable and cruelty-free alternatives to using real animal skins. Fake snake, mock croc, and pleather are a few realistic and luxurious materials that can be used to achieve the same look—without stealing someone else’s skin. Popular retailers such as Victoria’s Secret, H&M, Overstock.com, Cole Haan, and Nike have all signed PETA’s pledge promising never to sell exotic skins.” - PETA
