Hip-Hop mogul appears in national public service announcement campaign and takes a stand against animal cruelty.
(NEW YORK, NY) February 1, 2005 -- Hip-hop mogul, entrepreneur, political activist, and animal lover Russell Simmons has joined The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) to launch a national campaign to help raise awareness of and eliminate animal abuse and neglect.
"There is nothing cool about being cruel to animals, they have no choice and no voice," says Simmons, who is featured in a national television and print public service announcement (PSA) campaign. "Animal cruelty happens every day in America and people just sit by and do nothing."
The ASPCA is encouraging Americans to be vigilant for animal cruelty in their neighborhoods and visit www.aspca.org to learn how to identify possible animal cruelty.

Russell Simmons is a hypocrite. Maybe he should report himself for animal cruelty because on his company's website babyphat.com you can buy such things as a rabbit fur vest and a coyote trimmed jacket. Who lacks compassion? I think Mr. Simmons does.
