Ron Artest: After admittedly being a neglectful, irresponsible pet owner, Ron Artest of the Rockets, with the help of PETA, is changing his ways. “Artest also recently filmed a public service announcement for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. In the spot, Artest urges people to spay and neuter their pets. And definitely don’t get involved with dog fighting. That’s Artest, wearing a PETA T-shirt, shooting hoops and playing with a pit bull from a neighborhood shelter.” (Houston Chronicle)
