Are you ready for some football? Are you ready for one of our hottest Ink, Not Mink ads ever? Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver and NFL superstar Chad Ochocinco is representing and taking it off—his shirt that is—championing for animals everywhere in order to save their skin.
He holds some of the Bengals’ top records for most receptions and most receiving yards of all time, and now he’s going on the record with peta2 to tell you how the fur industry is gross and inhumane. Rabbits, raccoons, minks, foxes, and millions or other animals are housed in cramped and filthy cages wrought with disease, and skinned (often alive!) for their fur each year.
Chad Ochocinco would rather go naked than wear fur and support an industry of death, disease, and torture. He is an avid animal lover who has had companion animals his entire life, and in addition to renouncing the fur industry, he also recently learned about the horrible conditions animals suffer through in the circus. Safe to say, Chad Ochocinco won’t be visiting the big top any time soon.
Check out our brand new PSA and exclusive interview with Ochocinco, and then take our pledge to be fur-free today.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
