As you all know, one of my passions in life is ending animal cruelty. Rescue Ink is one of the coolest organizations that I have ever heard of.



Look, we all have a past. We have all made mistakes. These people feel that they were given a second chance with their lives, and that animals deserve a second chance too. Their website reads:

THIS AIN'T YOUR MOTHER'S RESCUE GROUP

You've never met a rescue group like Rescue Ink™ - an army of tattooed, motorcycle-riding street guys who have zero tolerance for animal abuse and neglect. We think abusers are losers, and we have no problem "educating" them about the error of their ways. Hey, we're no angels, and we've made plenty of mistakes in our lives, but we've been given a second chance. And we think neglected and abused animals deserve one, too.

I caught the end of a television show on dog fighting, one of the most hateful activities on earth, today. The man who had been previously convicted of cruelty for his dog-fighting activities defended himself. He tried to say that the dogs like fighting, that the videos of dogs crying are usually dogs who are new to the "game" and afraid; they have to test out the dogs to see if they will fight—but oh, it's still not cruelty, he said.

The guys from Rescue Ink were there, one of the burlier ones (and they're all pretty burly) stood up and asked the dog fighter if he'd like to be tested. People bully animals simply because they can, because the animal won't fight back, and the animal doesn't have a voice. It's gutless and despicable. It was a rush seeing someone not only stand up to these monsters, but to instill the same intimidation in them that they do instill in their animals.

There are just times when telling it "like it is" is so refreshing. I just donated to their cause...please consider doing the same. Let's help them stick up for the animals.
