rescue ink

I’ve just come across one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen or heard of. People magazine has an article in it’s Oct 27, 2008 issue about a group of 11 guys located in the New York City area who’ve started a non-profit animal welfare group. Since it’s inception in 2007 they’ve rescued a whopping 750 abused and neglected animals!

What’s so cool and unique? Lots of people are rescuing animals these days, what’s so special about these guys? They’re biker dudes! They are all covered in tattoos and have that tough Harley biker look about them. (No offense to Harley fans!)

To look at these guys they’re the “ones your Mamma warned you about” and that you wouldn’t want to meet up with in a dark alley. You can have a look for yourself by visiting their web site Rescue Ink. The New York Times has a lengthy article on them entitled “Heaven’s Angels” which describes some of their calls, how they get them and their associations with places like the ASPCA.

Resque Ink will go a long way for proving that looks can be deceiving and that just because it looks like a pit bull, doesn’t mean it is a pit bull. These guys are on my list of people I’d love to meet.
