The self-proclaimed “avid animal lover” posed to protest the fur industry and prove that he’d rather show off his tattoo ink than wear than wear mink. He covers his privates with only a football.

Chad explained to PETA:

“To tell you the truth, when I was younger growing up, I thought it was all fake. They didn’t really kill animals.”

However, when he found out that animals were killed for their skins, he agreed to be part of the campaign.

He also claims that he hasn’t taken his kids to the circus because of the way animals are tortured when being trained.
