Steve-O Slams "Abusive" Circus: "F**k 'em!"

Click to return to TMZ.comIf a "Jackass" star is calling you "abusive," you know you're in trouble.

TMZ got the first look at a video ad for peta2 -- the youth-centric offshoot of PETA -- in which the one and only Steve-O lashes out against animal cruelty in the circus. The daredevil, who was once a circus clown after attending the Ringling Bros. Clown College (go figure!), goes on a heated tirade against his former teachers, calling them "a bunch of dicks" for their alleged treatment of animals.

Happily, Steve-O has no issues with cruelty to himself, and as far as we can tell, he won't stop his own ridiculous antics.

6. PETA is a joke - so it's no surprise that they have Steve-O and Pamela Anderson as spokespeople.

PETA states the following, on their web-page:

"PETA believes that animals have rights and deserve to have their best interests taken into consideration, regardless of whether they are useful to humans..."

But, in reality, PETA is responsible for the slaughter of thousands of animals:

"Hypocrisy is the mother of all credibility problems, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has it in spades. While loudly complaining about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, the group has its own dirty little secret.

PETA kills animals. By the thousands.

From July 1998 through the end of 2005, PETA killed over 14,400 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" -- at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That's more than five defenseless animals every day..."

7. You guys are the idiot's ! No matter what you think of Steve-O ( I happen to love him ) it has nothing to do with what he's saying and the video of animal abuse that they show ! I think that is is very sad that we allow the abuse of helpless animals in the name of fun. Fun for who? Certainly not the animals! I think it's great that someone is speaking up for the animals that can't speak for themselves. Until you can really listen to the message being given instead of ragging on the person giving it mabey you should keep your coments to yourselves!

11. So Jackass is based on the abuseiveness of ones body and others? So lets get a spokesperson who has made his fortunes on being abusive to himself and other human beings---yeah makes a lot of sense...this drugged out, claims to have slept with nearly 1,000 women, walking case of bi polarity is going to convince me his former employer is evil?

F*** this hypocrite and his sidekick Bam and his sicko Uncle Don Vito, Wee Man, and the rest of these losers sucking money from people to watch them abuse themselves and others... and in Don Vitos case abuse underage girls.

Peta2, find a more believeable spokesperson....OK to hurt humans just leave the animals alone....crazy logic.

12. Looney tunes alert. Steve O insulting his former employers with foul language that should be kept in the Dallas Cowboys lockeroom. Doesn't this degenerate know the saying "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar." PETA must have looked at the bottom of the barrel to find recruits for their wacko organization.

13. Huh.

Remember that time Steve-O swallowed a live goldfish and then proceeded to puke it back up?

Or how about that time he snorted a live worm up his nose and then pulled it out of his throat?

Yeah, this guy is really concerned with cruelty to animals....

14. It was my understanding he attended the clown college, but wasn't hired by Ringling Circus...he worked a different one.

15. Stevo...all beit a good entertainer has the Ozzy syndrome but sooner! The guy is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO burned out and I feel for him.

You were cool but now U suck BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
