Sanchez, a bilingual beauty from San Juan, Puerto Rico, decided to show her skin to save animals’ skins after seeing what happens to animals in the fur industry. “There are places in the world [where people] grow animals for the purpose of killing them to be able to get the skin and the coat,” Sanchez explains. “[The animals] are electrocuted, they drown them, they suffocate them; it’s insanity what they do to these animals. … For human beings to take the liberty of just killing something to look pretty is insane.”
