Please join Busboys and Poets Books as we welcome author Scotlund Haisley to Takoma to discuss his new book "Compassion in Action."
Scotlund Haisley, the founder and president of Animal Rescue Corps, has spent more than twenty-five years saving the lives of thousands of animals. Wearing a respirator mask for protection from the piercing ammonia that hangs in the air and with law enforcement officials at his side, he infiltrates puppy mills, animal fighting operations, and other large-scale cases of animal cruelty, freeing dogs, cats, horses, and other animals from a life of wire cages, filth, and starvation—and sending them on their way to loving, protective caregivers.
Filled with dramatic rescues, Compassion in Action is a gripping ride through the underworld of those who profit from the enslavement of animals. From dogs trained for fighting to emaciated horses to animals stranded during natural disasters, the author and his team save animals from heartbreaking conditions, changing attitudes—and laws—along the way. It is a story of hope for the most vulnerable among us.
This event is co-sponsored by The Big Bad Woof. The Big Bad Woof, located in the Old Takoma Neighborhood of Washington DC, sets a different standard for pet care and products. Our retail store specializes in organic, holistic, premium, and raw diets for companion animals with a strong commitment to the community.
The Woof is a Gold Member of Green America with a laser focus on sustainability in both food and policy. Our local store-to-door delivery service is a customer favorite, providing a convenient and affordable method for having foods (including frozen raw diets) and litter delivered right to your home or office for a very reasonable delivery fee ranging from $3 - $8.
Our delivery area covers a 10 - 15 mile radius from our current store location. The Big Bad Woof also partners with local rescue organizations such as the Humane Rescue Alliance and the Animal Rescue Corps to hold fundraising events, collect donations of pet supplies and co-run adoption clinics.
Our WoofClinic program gives free professional information directly to the community. Animal specialists in health, behavior, and training come to the store to present and answer people's questions about animal well care. This gives everyone the opportunity to be a better pet owner.
Books will be available for purchase before and after the event.
