While the record setting running-back may play offense for the Baltimore Ravens, Willis McGahee recently shifted roles to play defense for animals to help prevent them from being killed for their fur. McGahee is the latest athlete featured in PETA's, "Ink, Not Mink" campaign. In his photo shoot, McGahee shows off his tattoo's (and a whole lot more!) as he seeks to raise awareness for cruelty toward animals.
He posed for two print advertisements, one pictured below and the other a little too racy for this site, and also shot a behind-the-scenes interview with PETA. In the interview he talks about his personal feelings about celebrities who wear fur.
“Somebody see a celebrity with a fur coat on, you know it’s going to be a trending topic, so somebody’s going to have to go out and get it,” McGahee said. “I don’t think they understand where it comes from or how they treat the animal to get the fur.”
The Ravens star made it even more personal when he talked about his relationship with his dogs.
“Dogs are somewhat like human beings,” he said. “You gotta treat them like you treat your kids.”
Good for him! (and lucky for us!) Check out his full interview below!
