PETA'S campaign efforts towards "Saving the Seals", specifically the Canadian seals that are being wiped out due to slaughter, have gained another famous face. U.S. Olympic snowboard team athlete, Hannah Teter, has joined the impressive amount of celebrities that have become involved in this new ad series.

Teter claims that she heard about the disturbing annual massacre of Canadian baby seals through the PETA website and was blown away. The new advertisement shows all of the participants lined up wearing PETA's "Save the Seals" t-shirt that sports the slogan, "Hug Me, Don't Club Me". Click here to view the shirt with prices.

Personally, I think this an awesome step for Hannah. She is a role model and inspiration to tons of people of all ages and by using her fame for such a good cause is very admirable and sets a statement. I want one of these t-shirts now. Think the peeps over at PETA will want me to pose for the ad? I mean, I can even be behind one of the celebrities...maybe just show one of my hands? I'll look into it.

With Teter being included in the group of celebrities showing support for the cause, it reaches a different demographic and audience within the action sports industry. The more people aware of what is going on, the more chances people have to make a difference.

There's a pretty gruesome video on the PETA website with an interview with Hannah...if you have the stomach and heart for it...click here.


Otherwise, get yourself a t-shirt! These seals need people to stick up for them!
