They may not look like animal activists, but the crew that makes up Rescue Ink are some of the baddest dudes fighting for animal rights around. Most recently, Rescue Ink rescued 180 abandoned cats and kittens from a foreclosed home in Moriches, New York. The guys have spearheaded a number of volunteer organizations that fight puppy mills and support animals used for rehabilitation.
There are seven animal-friendly programs pioneered by the tattooed members of Rescue Ink, and they're accepting volunteers via their website.
