Karina Smirnoff bares all in a new PETA ad.

According to USA Today, the Dancing With the Star stunner, 31 - who just called off her engagement to Maksim Chmerkovskiy — appears in the "I'd Rather Dance Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign.

The ad was shot by celebrity photographer Robert Sebree.

"I did wear fur, especially when I was growing up in the Ukraine," she says.

She says stopped wearing it after seeing video footage of baby seals who were killed for their skins.

It's cruel "when we take advantage of an innocent animal that cannot defend herself," she says.

Adds Smirnoff, "There are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel."

    Hate to stereo type male dancers, but I have to say Max as well as Mario are gay. She may have agreed to marry him for his career but she would never have been happy. She is a truly beautiful woman. All the woman dancers on the show are excellent, just different, different styles, different looks. She is getting paid to do the ad, just like if it were a Nike ad. What is the difference.

    She thinks she's the greatest thing out there. I'm happy for Max. I don't see him being happy with her, she is to stuck on herself. Don't like her on dancing with the stars either.

    Chris, that was barely funny back in 2000. For Jeff: "Custom will reconcile people to any atrocity; and fashion will drive them to acquire any custom."--George Bernard Shaw "Our treatment of animals will someday be considered barbarous. There cannot be perfect civilization until man realizes that the rights of every living creature are as sacred as his own."--Dr. David Starr Jordan, American biologist and educator "A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members."--attributed to Mahatma Gandhi Like other social, moral, and planetary issues, this IS important. Good for Karina!
