JUSTIN BIEBER PROMOTES POUND PUPS IN SECOND PETA AD

Teen Sensation Justin Bieber is speaking out once again in support for PETA's continues campaign in spreading in the importance of adopting animals from animal shelters!

Justin Bieber's recent hit single "U Smile" not only has his legions of fans smiling but also has homeless dogs wagging their tails and homeless cats purring. That's because the pop music phenom—whose concert tour hits Manila on May 10—is the star of a new PETA ad that promotes adoptions from animal shelters. The ad was shot by renowned celebrity photographer Cliff Watts.

"It's really important that people adopt," said Bieber. "I really encourage going out to an animal shelter or a place where you can get a dog who has been abandoned or doesn't have a home."

Buying an animal from a pet store or a breeder robs a homeless animal of his or her chance at finding a good home. The less fortunate never even make it to a safe haven; they are left to fend for themselves on the streets, where they are often subjected to abuse by cruel people or succumb to starvation, disease, or injuries.

Bieber's numerous awards include the American Music Awards' Artist of the Year, and he recently released an acoustic version of his breakthrough album called My World Acoustic. He joins a growing list of celebrities—including Lea Michele, Kellan Lutz, Yasmien Kurdi, Pink, Maggie Q, Borgy Manotoc,—who have teamed up with PETA to help animals.

'SUGAR' SHANE MOSLEY: "Dogfighting Is for Cowards. Don't Do it." New PETA Ad

Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley are both ready to display their punching power on the ring on May 7, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (Manila Time - May 8) but before the big event, "Sugar" Shane Mosley is speaking out against Dogfighting in a new PETA campaign in which he poses in the ring alongside the words:

"I Choose to Fight. Dogs Don't. Dogfighting Is for Cowards. Don't Do it."
Mosley explains, "My opponents and I know that when we step into the ring, we choose to be there and that if we don't come out on top, we can at least walk away. Dogfighting isn't like that." He concludes, "Dogfighting is dirty, it's cruel, and it's a loser's game."

Dogfighting is a vicious blood sport that leaves animals mangled and maimed. Even though it is illegal in the Philippines, dogfighting continues to thrive and is kept hidden from public view. PETA has seen dogs after they were forced to fight—they are left ripped apart, bloody, soaked in urine, unable to walk, and covered with cuts, bruises, and scars. The "losers" of these fights are often killed by their handlers.

Mosley joins a growing list of athletes and other celebrities—including Tito Ortiz, Ron Artest, Michael Strahan, Mac Danzig, Carey Hart, and many more—who have teamed up with PETA to speak out against animal abuse.
