Collectively, they have too many tattoos to count, but there's one
thing that really makes these tough-talking bikers from Long Island,
N.Y., stand out: They have a hard-core passion for protecting animals.

Officially called Rescue Ink, this group of burly animal-lovers united
in 2007 when they discovered this common ground and have come to the
aid of countless animals ever since. Now they're showing the world
their intolerance for animal neglect and cruelty in their new National
Geographic Channel show "Rescue Ink Unleashed," which premieres Sept.
25 at 10 p.m. ET.

"We're glad for all of the attention it's bringing to our cause," Joe
Panzarella, the leader of the pack, tells PEOPLE Pets. "It promotes
awareness of animal abuse and neglect, and that we're here to advocate
and educate."
