With his new Calvin Klein ad campaign popping up on billboards all over America, Kellan Lutz might just have one of the most famous crotches on the Planet — and the screen stud is teaming up with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to put that new found celebrity to good use.<\/p>\n
Lutz, who plays vampire Emmett Cullen in the popular Twilight<\/em> film franchise, takes a bite out of pet homelessness in an ad released by the animal rights organization on Wednesday.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It’s all a part of PETA’s “Adopt, Don’t Buy” campaign, which encourages animal lovers to look for the next furry addition to the family at the local animal rescue rather than purchasing from a breeder. The ad — shot by celebrity photog Collin Spark — shows Lutz hugging his rescued mixed-breed dog Kola and reads, “Buying Animals Is Killing Animals. Save a Homeless Dog or Cat\u2014Always Adopt and Never Buy.”<\/p>\n According to PETA, almost 8 million unwanted dogs and cats enter animal shelters every year in the U.S., and half of them ended up being euthanized.<\/p>\n “I love mutts!”<\/em> Lutz says enthusiastically in an interview with the group. “If anything, I think mutts stay the healthiest.There are surprisingly so many animals, so many animals in these animal shelters. It’s sad, and knowing that they get euthanized \u2026 and there’s a lot you can do \u2026 spay or neuter your pets so that doesn’t happen.”<\/em><\/p>\n Visit PETA.org<\/a> for more on the Twilight star’s crusade……<\/p>\n Kellan — a self-professed “mutt-lover” — is happy to lend his famous face to the cause: <\/p>\n With his new Calvin Klein ad campaign popping up on billboards all over America, Kellan Lutz might just have one of the most famous crotches on the Planet — and the screen stud is teaming up with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to put that new found celebrity to good use.
