British singer Joss Stone has joined forces with PETA to star in a new advert for the charity, stating '3 Animals Are Killed to Make 1 Crocodile Bag.

Say NO to Exotic Skins'. The ad comes after a PETA exposé of farms that supply crocodile and alligator skins to Hermès-owned tanneries, revealing the reptiles were trapped in 'barren and severely crowded pits'. PETA Associate Director Elisa Allen said 'Every bag made from exotic skins comes with a high price - and it's paid by the animals who are raised in filthy, crowded, waste-filled tanks and cruelly killed. We don't need to steal animals' skin for fashion, and we're grateful that Joss has joined us in sending this message'.
