While animal rights group People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) may use controversial tactics, you can’t deny that they know how to create attention-grabbing ad campaigns to further their cause.
PETA just unveiled their newest campaign which aims to encourage people to choose vegan options while dining out. Like past years, the new ads — which can be seen on taxi cabs across New York City starting today — will feature photos of stars with slogans emblazoned on them, some even in the buff. This time around big-name vegan actors like Alan Cumming and Bella Ramsey were chosen to be part of the campaign.
While Ramsey remains fully clothed in their ad, Cumming is fully nude with only a lettuce leaf to cover his anatomy. And the slogan, “I’m the vegan option. Join me!” is printed across the top of the poster.

The environmental benefits of going vegan are so significant.”
