I know it’s true because PETA says so! Check it out:

The Jackass star shed not only his pants but every stitch of clothing he was wearing to star in not one, but two naked anti-fur public service announcements (PSAs) for peta2, bearing the taglines “Ink, Not Mink” and “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur…”

Spoken in true Steve-O style, he had this tip for all of you, “Abuse yourself all you want, just leave animals out of it. Don’t wear fur.”

(That’s the poster we can show you here.) In case you’ve forgotten about Steve-O’s commitment to the animal kingdom, here are a few highlights from his illustrious career…

Don’t worry, dude, goldfish don’t have fur!

How much did the camera guy get paid for this? Whatever it was, double it and it still wouldn’t be enough.

That stuff coming out of the sea cucumber is its internal organs. Hilarious! That’s from Jackass 2, which the American Humane Association (which oversees the treatment of animals on movie sets) gave a rating of Acceptable/Questionable. Funny, that’s how I feel about myself every time I watch Jackass.

So who’s worse, Steve-O for all of a sudden pretending he’s a friend to the animal kingdom, or PETA for plastering an animal-abuser’s nasty butt cheeks all over its anti-fur propaganda?
