Kelly Osbourne and Perez Hilton are among the celebs speaking out as part of the latest campaign against seal clubbing.

The pair will appear in Save The Seals T-shirts in a series of ads aimed at raising awareness of the cruel practice.

Others taking part include Jackass's Steve-O, Twilight's Christian Serratos and CSI's Jorja Fox.

The campaign has been launched by animal rights activists Peta.

Despite seal skin products being banned by the European Union and the US, cubs continue to be killed during the annual clubbing season.

Speaking out against the annual slaughter, Kelly said: "The saddest thing for me is just knowing baby seals, some of whom have not even had their first meal, are going to be killed.

"And most of them are probably still alive when they're skinning them. And there are no laws, nothing to stop them, so it's just going to get worse."
