Ron-Ron Does an Ad Campaign for PETA

After that awful episode last year with his Great Dane, Socks, Ron Artest has seemingly reformed completely. He did a stint with the Placer SPCA earlier this season, and now he's appearing in an ad campaign for PETA. (You can see the ad after the jump.)

There's also an interview here, where Ron-Ron speaks out against dog-fighting and encourages folks to volunteer with local pet rescues. (You could also help by donating to the K-9 Fund Drive, which aims to raise $999 for the Sacramento SPCA by the 2008-09 season opener. We're 11% there, and actually 16% there when you include the funds raised by the short-lived but everlasting Peaches shirt.)

Great work, Ron.

This was in

the latest edition of ESPN the Magazine. It's great that the whole country is getting a chance to see how hard Ron is trying to change.

On an off-note I loved Ron talking to the fans before the game last night and saying "we're going to beat the Spurs" and pointing to their bench. These are the reasons I love this guy. If only you could exorcise your basketball demons Ron.

when will the Kenny Thomas Reign of Terror end?!!??
