Rescue Ink – Tough Guys Do Cry

In case you missed it, there’s a new force out there for animal abuse advocacy. They’re not the kind of people you’d expect to go all fuzzy and sentimental over a homeless kitten or neglected hamster. On the other hand, they’re not the kind you’d want on your bad side. These guys are tough, rough and gruff and they call themselves Rescue Ink.

The nine burly tattooed biker-types will go where no others dare to save an animal in distress. The lone feminine representative of the group, Mary, handles calls and emails and keeps the pack in order.

National Geographic Channel is running a new series, Rescue Ink Unleashed, that features the guys in rescue mode. Everything from chicken-chasing to confronting a guy shooting BBs at stray cats and helping a U.S. veteran, a victim of a brutal mugging, with his pit bulls and cats. Sure, some of the situations are probably hyped but, hey, I’m all for anything that publicizes the plight of so many abused and neglected animals.

Rescue Ink has a no tolerance policy, which by the look of them, I suspect they can readily enforce. So, go get ‘em you big-hearted softies.
