Marisa Miller is stripping down with an important message in mind. 

The 36-year-old supermodel, who is currently pregnant with her second child, teamed up with PETA for a nude photo shoot and provocative ad, aimed at raising awareness over the alleged animal abuses at SeaWorld. 

The eye-catching ad features the expectant beauty posing completely nude in a bathtub (per the press release, she is putting herself "in the place of captive orcas at SeaWorld") alongside text which reads, "SeaWorld: Separating Babies and Mothers Since 1970" as well as a message asking fans to "Boycott SeaWorld." 

In the accompanying interview, Miller says she was inspired to pose for the campaign after seeing Blackfish, a popular 2013 documentary which focuses on the controversy over captive killer whales (Seaworld has disputed the accuracy of the film).

"Being a mom and seeing Blackfish, it was extremely emotional," Miller says. "I think any mother knows the sense of protection and connection you have with your baby." 

Miller is expected to give birth to her second child with husband Griffin Guess in the coming weeks. She previously revealed in January that the couple is a having a baby boy, who will join big brother Gavin Lee

This isn't the first time Miller has posed naked while pregnant. She previously did a nude shoot with Allure magazine back in December 2012. 

"I always felt, even before I got pregnant, that it's better to accentuate your curves," she told the publication at the time. "It's important to really show off the belly."
