Vegetarian Star

Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jacksonville Jaguars is the latest celebrity to strip down in a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ad against fur.

In his “Ink Not Mink” ad, the tattooed NFL running back stands proudly holding a football and showing off his impressive physique.

“It was important for me to get involved with the Ink Not Mink campaign,” Jones-Drew says in an interview and behind the scenes shoot for the PSA. “I have three dogs and to see some of the videos or to go online and see how animals are treated for fur –the cruelty is worse than torture.”

Chester Bennington Linkin Park "Ink Not Mink" PETA

Lead vocalist for Linkin Park and Dead By Sunrise Chester Bennington has bared his decorated pecs in an anti fur ad for PETA, Ink Not Mink.

We’d love to know the stories behind all of Chester’s tattoos and he would like fans to know the story behind fur farms and the fur industry.

“Electrocuting animals, skinning them while they’re alive—these are acts of inhumanity. Because it’s out of sight, it’s usually out of mind for most people, and we need to show our respect for … all creatures of this world.”

Watch the video below for more of Chester’s thoughts on animals.

Mario Barth "Ink Not Mink" Ad

Mario Barth is the celebrity tattoo artist!

He hosts the annual Biggest Tattoo Show on Earth and decorates celebrities and regular people at his studio Starlight Tattoos.

He’s inked down the bodies of Jason Kidd, Fieldy of KoRn, Nikki Sixx, My Chemical Romance, rapper Jim Jones and Tommy Lee, who’s even had his own “Ink Not Mink” ad.

Shown here is Barth coming out to urge tattoo fanatics that while it’s okay to play with your own hide, it’s best to leave animals’ alone.

“Be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs,” the ad reads.

BTW, have you ever stopped to think if your tattoo is vegan?

Parts of the ink solution, such as color pigments can sometimes be derived from animals, and additional ingredients like glycerin may also be unveggie friendly.

It’s always best to investigate.

Ladies we know you don’t get enough of your naked men from PETA, but here’s a little something to satisfy.

Carey Hart, ex-husband to singer Pink, has recently teamed up with PETA to raise awareness of using fur in fashion by inviting you to consider wearing your own permanent coat-of tattoos.

“No one’s expecting you to be the perfect citizen…just living consciously [as much as you can].”

Hart got into animal rights through Pink, and the two of them own three dogs.

“It’s just ridiculous, you know?” he says of the fur industry. “It’s like you’re gonna destroy animals so that you can look cool in the nightclubs or you can look cool walking down the street in New York. You know I don’t get behind that. I think it’s very petty and very shallow. And then once I saw the investigation and the actual process it just disgusted me.”

You can view the video of Hart talking more about animals, fur, and looking hot at peta.org.

Tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher has created skin designs for celebrities such as members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Robbie Williams, and Curt Cobain.

Now he’s becoming a celebrity himself, starring in PETA Netherlands’ ad “Ink, Not Mink.”

“I’ve seen the slaughter of silver foxes with electrodes and the gassing of minks – and piles of dead bodies,” Schiffmacher said. “And it ain’t a pretty sight.”

“We hope that Henk’s ad will remind people that, while getting a tattoo can sting a bit, we can choose whether or not to get one,” said PETA Europe Director Robbie LeBlanc. “Animals tortured and killed for their skins and fur don’t have a choice – and they pay with their lives.”

We’ve included the video Schiffmacher stars in, but only our Dutch speaking friends and others who know the language will be able to understand it. However, we can all understand pain, regardless of the language we speak. And we can all at least see Schiffmacher making a difference.
