The new face of PETA‘s “Ink Not Mink” campaign is gritty rapper Waka Flocka Flame, known for his southern-style hit ”No Hands.” He will be joining a handful of other tatted-up animal lovers and advocates, including Steve-O, several SuicideGirls, Dave Navarro, Tommy Lee and Chad Ochocinco in posing for special PETA ads.
Flame was affected by the thought of something cruel happening to his own family dog, Rose Antney, named after his mother. ”I don’t want anybody to beat my dog, scare my dog or whip my dog,” Flame tells Rumorfix.
Fellow model Carey Hart, husband of the singer Pink, shared why he participated: ”It’s just ridiculous — you know, it’s like you’re gonna destroy animals so that you can look cool in a nightclub or you can look cool walking down the street in New York. I don’t get behind that. I think it’s very petty and very shallow.” We agree!
