Chad Ochocinco Poses Nude For PETA's 'Ink, Not Mink' Campaign (PHOTO/VIDEO)

Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco posed nude for PETA's "Ink, Not Mink" campaign, protesting the fur industry. In the video, Ochocinco explains that he has always been an avid animal lover and that he has had pets ever since he was a little kid.

"To tell you the truth, when I was younger growing up, I thought it was all fake―they didn't really kill animals," Ochocinco said. When he found out that animals are killed for fur, the 32-year-old decided to get involved in the campaign. Scroll down to watch the video.

Actually the football used in this "ink, not mink" promo is made out of synthetic material....not pig skin.

how do you know this? all of wilson footballs are made from leather.

and besides, the fact that ochocinco has a career in an industry that goes through all these products that use animal skin clearly undermines the idea of whole campaign. PETA is just made up of stupid people, let's face it.

Real animal lovers hate PETA.

Prove it, please. I love animals. I have five rescued dogs and three rescued cats. I don't hate PETA. I wish they would tone it down a bit sometimes and move a bit more toward the middle, but I certainly don't hate them. I question some of their marketing ploys.

What would you say if they were a bit more along the middle path? Would you call them hypocrits?

"What would I say if they were a bit more along the middle path?" Hello!?!? They're not. They've hi-jacked the moral cause for millions of animal lovers like yourself in order to secretly promote an agenda of domestic terrorism. This is NOT a case of "toning it down a bit" or "questionable marketing ploys." This is what normal people call LYING and STEALING. No, they're not hypocrites. They're worse.

There are too many good, well-intentioned organizations out there who actually care about helping animals and pets of all types. I would suggest donating, personally, to the local rescue shelters where you got your pets. PETA can be best compared to those unscrupulous people who were pretending to collect money for Haiti along the streets when all along they were pocketing people's donations.

I apologize if I come across as aggressive in this post but this is an issue that strikes me at the core seeing as I used to be a PETA donor until I heard Ingrid Newkirk call all pet owners the slave-owners of modern society.

People need to realize that PETA is a wolf in sheep's clothing!

I actually can't remember the last time I saw someone who wasn't a celebrity or a millionaires wife wearing a fur coat.

Thanks PETA next time I. Out shopping for a tiara, a bottle of Dom perigean and a freaking mink coat, I'll think twice

Seriously, isn't it kind of a waste of a campaign?

Are we supposed to believe he got that body eating tofu? Not buying it. I like chad and hate fur but PETA is too radical for me. I wish these celebrities would do more research... PETA is anti pet owning for crying out loud.

Question isn't the football LEATHER!!!

[Galong]

10:42 PM on 11/30/2010

If you paid attention to the video, he didn't say anything about eating meat. It was all about the fur trade. Leather is a byproduct the food industry, not the totally unnecessary vanity of wearing fur. And, what would you say if he quit playing football because footballs are made of leather? I'm guessing you'd call him something like a radical fundamentalist animal rights nut, right?

[nadia nakita]

who cares, the slogan on the ad is 'let animals keep their skins,' which is super ironic. leather isn't just a byproduct of the food industry, it's definitely a huge industry on its own and would still exist even if people stopped eating meat -- as in people would keep killing animals just for leather, because it's such a staple in fashion and is a multibillion dollar industry.

as a side note, i think i'm going to buy a panda fur coat today.

Just because you're wearing a rather sissified hat, I don't assume you're of a more open sexual persuasion. LOL
