Gotta love this story from the Baltimore. Local athletes in the Charm City are making the point known that only a punk would hurt a dog. The general idea is that tough, strong athletes are not afraid to show their softer side, especially when it comes to protecting animals.
"I think if kids see these very macho guys in these photographs, it will perhaps change their thinkings," says Caroline Griffin, who leads Baltimore's Anti-Animal Cruelty Commission. "Hurting an animal is not a rite of passage to show your manhood."
The brainchild behind this wonderful campaign is advertising executive Sande Riesett, who is tired of hearing about abused animals. "I want to get enough people together to say this is not tolerated," she says. "And whatever resources we have to put against it, we put against it."
Hmmmm..maybe that campaign should spill over to Philadelphia, just up route 95 a bit. I know a particular quarterback who should be a poster child for this message.
