Jenna — who found fame alongside her now-husband in the 2006 dance flick Step Up — is calling attention to the exotic skins industry, a sector of the Fashion World in which thousands of snakes, lizards, alligators, crocodiles, and other reptiles are killed annually for their skins, which are then turned into accessories.

Nadya Suleman doesn’t want your dog or cat following in her footsteps.
