Every once in a rare while, miracles collide, and wonderful ideas are born of apparent incogruency.
When you look at the group of tatooed biker-dudes in the photo, animal rescue is probably not your first thought, but Good Morning America introduced them this morning as a unique group of men dedicated to improving the lives of animals. Here's what Amazon says about the group when discussing their newly released book, Rescue Ink.
Using their combined 1700 pounds of muscle, Joe, Johnny O, Batso, Big Ant, G, Angel, Eric, Des, Bruce and Robert stop at nothing within the bounds of the law to save animals, be they furred, feathered, or scaled, from life-or-death situations throughout the New York City metropolitan area.
Working from tips from concerned neighbors and anonymous sources, they have rescued countless animals, including a dognapped bulldog and 180 cats from the home of a hoarder. In between rescues, they've protested the barbaric practices of a horse slaughterhouse, visited schools to educate children about animal kindness and that "abusers are losers," and participated in Puppy Mill Awareness Day in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The season premier of their National Geographic series airs Wednesday, September 25th at 10PM. These impressive gentlemen -- you should have seen them on Good Morning America tenderly caressing some of the tiny pups they protect -- are a dream come true for many animal advocates, who want to see animals rescued and perpetrators get swift justice.
"You don't send a boy scout after a bad guy!"
"Take care of your animals and there won't be any problems"
Quotes from Rescue Ink Members
Don't get me wrong, Rescue Ink works fully within the bounds of the law. Still, I imagine they have no trouble getting the attention of people who seek to harm animals. The guys make sure abusers get an adequate education about responsible ownership.
Reality television loves silly conflict and staged dramas. I hope this show will not turn into a circus just for ratings. I doubt Rescue Ink would let that happen. They seem serious about protecting animals and I don't expect them to cheapen what they do for the cameras.
You thinkin' about mistreating an animal? Forgetaboutit! Rescue Ink has its eyes on you.
This is just what the doctor ordered. Tony Soprano meets the Dog Whisperer meets Dr. Doolittle. Check them out. Get inspired. Feel the love.
