If you haven't heard about Patrick Ribbsaeter, it's never too late for you to get to know the gorgeous celebrity campaigner for PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) in Asia Pacific.

The 29-year-old Thai-Swedish supermodel is no stranger to stripping for PETA's controversial ad campaigns. He's done it twice. And Patrick says he will continue to strip if that is what it takes to save abused elephants in Thailand.

"In Thailand, approximately 3,000 of the country's estimated 4,500 endangered Asian elephants are privately owned," Patrick has been quoted as saying. "Most are used as tourist attractions in elephant camps, where they are forced to perform circus tricks and give rides. There is horrific torture in the elephant-training routine. PETA US has proof of that."

"Still-nursing baby elephants are dragged from their mothers. Elephants are immobilized, beaten mercilessly and gouged with nails for days."

We heard you loud and clear, Patrick.
