Actor Mickey Rourke, who recently won a Golden Globe award for best actor for his role on “The Wrestler“, supports PETA’s efforts to knock out animal overpopulation appearing in its latest ad with the slogan: “Have The Cojones To Fix Your Dog“.

Every year, millions of unwanted dogs and cats are left at extremely crowded animal shelters, where most are put to death. Less fortunate unwanted animals are abandoned on the streets to fend for themselves and often become victims of traffic, disease, starvation, and extreme weather. Some are stolen by laboratory dealers or used as bait by dogfighters. Two simple surgeries—spaying and neutering—are the solution.

Mickey has a really close relationship with his dogs and made one emotional speech when he thanked them for his Golden Globe: “I’d like to thank all my dogs. The ones that are here, the ones that aren’t here anymore because sometimes when a man’s alone, that’s all you got is your dog. And they’ve meant the world to me.”

Someone should really check if Mickey really spayed and neutered his dogs to make sure he believes what he is saying and isn’t just another pretty face on yet another PETA ad.
