Terrell Suggs: NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year

Football fans who watch all season long, not just during the Super Bowl, know who Terrell Suggs is. Suggs, of the Baltimore Ravens, had 70 tackles and 14 sacks and forced seven interceptions in the 2011-12 season, which is why he has been named the Defensive Player of the Year! If you’re not a football fan and are wondering why his name sounds familiar, well, Suggs took some time out of his busy schedule to talk to folks about how messed up it is that animals are being skinned alive for their fur! Check out his “Ink, Not Mink” ad:

My favorite quote from his interview is this: “I hit people for a living, and even I couldn’t … handle the cruelty to these animals.” If you haven’t seen the video, he’s talking about the killing methods used by fur farms: suffocation, gassing, anal and vaginal electrocution, poisoning, and neck-breaking. Some animals are even skinned alive. If you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to pledge to be fur-free.

    I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
