Wearing heavy chains and sitting on a circus-style pedestal, hit girl group Little Mix star in a new PETA ad campaign shot by photographer Trevor Leighton that proclaims, “Shackled, Beaten and Depressed.

Animals don’t jump through rings of fire for fun – they do so out of fear, and it’s time to ban this so-called form of entertainment once and for all” said Little Mix superstar Leigh-Anne Pinnock on behalf of the group. “There’s no reason why animals should still be suffering in circuses, and we hope that by posing for this ad, we’ll be doing our bit to help ban the use of wild animals in circuses. We hope, too, that our fans will join us in supporting PETA’s campaign to end this cruelty.”
