Kristen Johnston's ad
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
The 3rd Rock from the Sun star will appear in a new PETA ad campaign called "Don’t Get Taken for a Ride – Horse-Drawn Carriages Are Cruel." In her ad, Johnston, 41, appears naked on the back of a horse in a pose that recalls Lady Godiva.
"I was blown away by how these horses live, or actually I should say, don't live," the actress says in a statement. "I'd say to tourists who are considering coming to New York, there's so much amazing stuff about Manhattan ... Oh my God, just take a walk."
"And I hope within the next year that there are no more carriage horses," her statement continues.
The ads will debut Thursday in Central Park and appear on New York City taxis.
