The Guardian Angels Animal Protection program is moving ahead, full speed. Started by Nancy Sliwa, a cat colony caretaker for over 10 years in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, this program was started to help some of the most vulnerable and voiceless members of our society – animals. Study after study has shown that those who abuse animals are more likely to abuse people. So one of the earliest ways to combat the rise of crime in society against people is to stop abuse against animals.Red Apple Media
