With a no.1 single and a growing fan base in America, all eyes are on the Little Mix ladies right now.
But the lovely ladies of Britain’s hottest girl band are using their high profile for good after starring in animal charity PETA’s latest campaign.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirwal pose in PETA’s posters with their legs in shackles, eerily similar to how circus animals are kept.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock said: “We were shocked to learn that wild animals are still suffering in circuses. Animals don't jump through rings of fire for fun – they do so out of fear, and it's time to ban this so-called form of entertainment once and for all.
She “There's no reason why animals should still be suffering in circuses, and we hope that by posing for this ad, we'll be doing our bit to help ban the use of wild animals in circuses. We hope, too, that our fans will join us in supporting PETA's campaign to end this cruelty."
PETA director Mimi Bekhechi said: "The British people have spoken – and the vast majority want a ban on forcing elephants, lions and other animals to perform in circuses.
"PETA and Little Mix are calling on the new government to listen to the will of the people and allow only circuses that feature willing human performers."
Animals such as elephants, lions and tigers are forced to live in cruel, cramped conditions and are often made to suffer physical and mental abuse at the hands of their trainers.
Not only are animals at risk of this practice, but those visiting circuses are also at risk.
In 1994, a circus elephant named Tyke turned against his trainer and escaped into the crowd and onto the street. His trainer was horrifically killed and the rampage also injured two others.
Tyke was later killed by police much to the horror of animal lovers around the world.
Prime Minister David Cameron had previously promised to ban wild-anima circuses by January 2015 but failed to follow through with any legislation in Parliament.
