Micheal Killen is the man who makes the California Cheese Cows, the Taco Bell Chihuahua, and the Panda Express Pandas talk. When he heard about the horrors of Michael Vick's dog fighting ring he felt heartsick and compelled to do something.
With the help of his partners, Jim Kreitzburg and Kathy Dziubek, he called in favors from Lindsey and Bronson Smith of Smith Brothers Advertising to produce this beautifully executed and profoundly moving PSA called Peace for Dogs.
Read more about the passion everyone on the team, including his 9 year-old daughter Erin, brought to this project on Michael's website.
And, you may not have heard about the recent successes at the ASPCA busting huge dog fighting rings in Tennessee and Georgia with the help of the ASPCA’s Senior Director of Veterinary Forensics, Dr. Melinda Merck, and their Mobile Animal Crime Scene Investigation Unit --- a CSI lab on wheels. Maybe these barbaric torture enterprises are finally coming to an end.
I heard about this PSA on pet photographer Grace Chon's lovely blog.
Thank you for sharing this on your blog Moira!

I saw this ad on peta. Its very sad but true. Many people get animals without doing the necessary research first on whether or not that animal fits their lifestyle. As a result, lots of animals are neglected, abused, and abandoned. This website helps educate potential pet owners before they get a new pet. Please do it for the animals sake, and for yours!!
