Sometimes, you just gotta post awesome. And these pictures from the guys at Resue Ink are making my day. For those of you that don’t know, Rescue Ink is a New-York based group of bikers and other self-proclaimed “street guys” who step up and do the dirty work when it comes to animal welfare (and have their own reality show on National Geographic). They serve as the muscle for local SPCAs and other rescue groups in volatile situations, and in their spare time they run a shelter in Long Beach and are developing the RISA app for Facebook to report and document animal abuse and get that information quickly into the hands of the right people.

Because, you know, super heroes.

   Hi there, it’s wonderful that you promote animals and have
   such compassion! I’m very sorry though to inform you that the
   photos and story you’ve referred to is from 2009. This group had a
   television show back then, and did a lot of good for animals!
   Sadly, greed took over, most of the group left, (including the guys
   pictured), because they didn’t like the unethical things that have
   happened. Please consider removing this post because promoting the
   group only brings in donations and fuels the greed, so please
   consider removing before more animals and people are hurt. Here’s a
   list of a few things that have been documented behaviors and acts
   that Rescue Ink has committed. I’m sure you didn’t know, so no hard
   feelings, just trying to help. Also, please check out the link
   below to learn more. There are 900 people on the page mentioned,
   and many of them are from the show and from the original group. We
   all just want to see the truth shared so that animals and people
   are safe. In the past two years, Rescue Ink has: -Taken donations
   promising that 100% would be given to animal care, yet their latest
   tax return shows them falling 94% below their promise. Only 6% is
   given to animals. -Promised that Rescue Ink merchandise purchases
   are “100% to help animals” when it was ordered by a judge in a
   lawsuit settlement that the merchandise profits go solely to pay
   off the amount for which they were sued. -Allowed three animals to
   die unnecessarily in Hurricane Sandy due to neglect. -Failed to
   provide real documentation of animal rescues, or travel to perform
   animal rescues, when requested by donors. -Implied that a
   grandmother was involved in animal abuse of a puppy in a personal
   vendetta toward the woman for speaking the truth about the things
   above. The woman has provided vet records that the veterinarian who
   examined the puppy absolved her from any wrongdoing. Please visit
   “Rescue Ink Former Members, Volunteers, and Supporters” on Facebook
   to join the 900 people who already know the truth. We share it for
   the animals!
