When you think of biker gangs, you think of big, burly men with tattoos and beards. When it comes to this group of guys, you're right about their outward appearance, but don't read a book by its cover!

Rescue Ink was a prominent biker gang between 2008 to 2014. They found a niche in cruelty cases that law enforcement simply couldn't tackle. If a dog had a "proper" shelter per the wording of the law, law enforcement couldn't seize a dog left in the cold. But the bikers would either convince the owner to surrender the dog, or even better, build or buy a better cold weather doghouse.

The men made agreements with numerous rescues and veterinarians and were a valuable resource in some pretty heinous cases. For instance, they've investigated and broken up dog fighting circuits, puppy mills in which people were mass producing purebred puppies for drug money, a person who tried to poison a colony of cats and even a serial cat killer. The group consisted of bikers, ex-bodybuilders, power-lifting champions, former military personnel, police detectives, and lawyers. Guys who had an intimidation factor and knowledge of the law so that they could walk the fine edge of legality to save as many abused and neglected animals as possible.

The group wasn't all brawn and muscle. They also had big hearts. They managed to stay within the boundaries of the law, cooperate with police and handle over 1,000 emails and up to 250 phone calls every day. They've rescued everything from dogs and cats to horses and a boa constrictor. One member went as far as taking a kitten wherever he went because he had to bottle feed it every couple of hours. A spokesperson for the organization was once quoted as saying "Some people like to think of us as superheroes. The truth is, we are super animal lovers (and protectors). Through the years, and through many caseloads, obstacles, and downright challenges, we remain strong and dedicated to our mission."

      This is exactly what we need all over the US. The men are getting involved and taking care of business. You should not judge a book by the cover. We should see what is in someone's heart.

    Ditto to what everyone else has said. Your physical presence will hopefully encourage these scum to stay think twice. There are tons of puppy mills in Missouri. You might want to check them out. One of the worst states in the country. Thank you from the hearts of the helpless and voiceless. ❤️

    I wish they were still out there, why did they stop in 2014? We need to get some local residents to create this type of rescue group here in the south. SC is in desperate need of help as many counties do not have the funds for animal control officers nor do they prosecute many that are neglecting or abusing animals, and dog fighting in still predominate here. Many dogs are stolen or "adopted" and used to fight or worse as bait dogs for the dog fights. We need SC Rescue Ink in a BIG way!
