Rescue Ink

How Ten Guys Saved Countless Dogs and Cats, Twelve Horses, Five Pigs, One Duck, and a Few Turtles

By: Rescue Ink, Denise Flaim

Narrated by: Tom Weiner

Though Joe Panz, Johnny O, Batso, Big Ant, G, Angel, Des, and Eric initially met and formed their friendship at tattoo and motorcycle conventions, they soon learned that they shared another passion: animals. It turned out that each had been rescuing troubled animals on their own for years. Together they decided to form Rescue Ink to combat the problem of animal abuse on a bigger scale. Working from tip-offs from concerned neighbors and anonymous sources, they have rescued countess animals, including a dog-napped bulldog named Clara and 180 cats and kittens from the home of a hoarder. In between rescues, they've protested the barbaric practices of a New Jersey horse slaughterhouse, participated in Puppy Mill Awareness Day in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and visited schools to educate children about animal kindness.©2009 Rescue Ink Publications (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"Flaim ably blends colorful profiles of the individual members...with journalistic accounts of their interventions with 'trappers, torturers, and garden-variety dirtbags'....The all-volunteer group's commitment inspires and endears." ( Publishers Weekly)
