The ladies of the Lingerie Football League are part of the NFL (No Fur League), and they want to make sure that everyone gets drafted. The BC Angels are the latest team to join PETA's anti-fur campaign, asking Vancouver to "tackle cruelty: bench fur."

The gals had a ball tossing around the faux pigskin and talking to holiday shoppers about how fur is a personal foul.

And when a woman in a ridiculous fur hat got snippy with them, the classy lassies snapped right back, politely telling her that while they may choose to take a beating on the field, animals who are killed for their fur would definitely choose not to be beaten, electrocuted, or skinned alive. 

Help intercept the cruel fur industry by telling bebe that you won't be buying until it takes fur out of the game.

Bikinis in December? Sure.

Eye blacks with garters? Why not?

Fur? What, are you crazy?

The ladies braved the chilly temps to show Torontonians that football players can take a beating, but that furry animals shouldn't have to. Unless someone was cruisin' for a bruisin', my bet is the shoppers steered clear of fur. 

Well, here it is—your very own backstage pass to the photo shoot for PETA's yet-to-be-released "Tackle Cruelty, Bench Fur" ad, which features lovelies from the Lingerie Football League's Chicago Bliss.

Just when you thought that it couldn't get any hotter, four of the posing players revealed that they'd rather go naked than wear fur:
