Precious Pet Protestors

The Awwccupy Wall Street Tumblr Showcases Cute Pets at Occupy Protests

— December 16, 2011 — Pop Culture
Whatever your view on the Occupy protests that are currently going on may be, the Awwccupy Wall Street Tumblr is sure to tug on your heart strings. The photo blog features some of the cutest pets that have been keeping their owners company at the protests.

Many of the pets wear signs around their necks that say things like "Kibble slave," "Our creativity is boundless and brilliant," "Another dog for liberation," and my personal favorite, "Biscuits not bombs."

While most of the pets are dogs, I did spot a couple of cats with signs that say things like "I am the 99 purrcent." There are even a few photos of babies on the site, if pets aren't your thing.

Check out the Awwccupy Wall Street Tumblr for some adorable and inspiring photos.
