Some women send nude selfies to their significant others — but when it comes to stripping down on camera, Alicia Silverstone seems to only have eyes for PETA.
The 40-year-old Clueless star has gotten naked once again for the animal rights organization, this time to protest the use of wool in fashion.
'If you're trying to avoid wool, why not make that leap?' she asks in a video for the new #WoolFreeWinter campaign. 'Say, "I'm never going to buy wool again."'

Save the sheep! Alicia Silverstone poses naked for a new ad encouraging people to wear vegan clothing, which doesn't include wool
Using her voiceThe 40-year-old also spoke about how harmful the shearing process is to sheep in a new video
In the campaign image, the blonde beauty stands in a field completely nude, her body facing away from the camera. Her backside is on full display as she turns her face toward forward, and she holds a sheep's mask in her hand.
'I'd rather go naked than wear wool,' the photo reads.
The actress also took the time to enlighten people on just why she is anti-wool, explaining that sheep can be harmed when they are sheered for their fur.
'Wool, in general, has not been thought about by many, many people. It's just not something that's brought to their attention,' she says in a clip. 'The biggest thing that people always say to me is, "Oh, but they just shear the sheep! They don't kill the sheep."'
Graphic: The video included clips of sheep being seemingly tortured for their wool
Conditions: The animals are dragged around in what Alicia describes as a 'slaughterhouse'

In fact, PETA claims, 'the gentle animals are often beaten, kicked, and mutilated so that their wool can be made into sweaters, coats, scarves, gloves, and boots.'
Alicia goes on to further dispel the myth that shearing is gentle.
'It's on the slaughterhouse floor where it's on a conveyor belt and it's going that fast,' she says with a snap. 'It's just so fast, the shearing process that they're cut, they're harmed. They get very seriously wounded, and there's no care for them when they're wounded. It's just, "Move on to the next."
The video also shows behind-the-scenes clips of some of the atrocities filmed at factories that shear sheep.
Experience: The actress has stripped down for PETA in the past
'These are not creatures to the people who are doing this. They're just objects. When the sheep are no longer useful, they're killed.'
Alicia has made several ads for PETA in the past. In 2008, she spoke for the organization about being a vegetarian, saying the dietary switch has made her 'feel so much better' and she has 'so much more energy'.
In 2014, she also participated in a video exposing the horrors of the down industry, even taking on brands like Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs which she said were 'linked with horrific cruelty'.
