NFL Great Qadry Ismail Joins Anti-Animal Abuse Campaign

On the football field he earned a claim to fame as an offensive player, but now former NFL wide receiver Qadry Ismail is taking a defensive stance as he joins the team at the Baltimore Mayor’s Anti-Animal Abuse Advisory Commission to tackle the problem of canine and cat cruelty.

The Missle’s mission– like that of other animal-loving athletes such as Dizzy Grant of the Harlem Globetrotters, MMA fighter John Rallo and Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles, who have all taken part in the Show Your Soft Side campaign– is to prove to impressionable teens that a compassionate heart is the hallmark of a true man.

Posing for photographer Leo Howard Lubow, the portrait of the one-time Baltimore Raven and his fur family will be seen on posters and billboards throughout the city of Baltimore.
