BOXING CHAMP LEADS PIT BULL WELFARE PROJECT

Bernard Hopkins, a.k.a the “The Executioner”, is the new spokesperson for NJ Aid for Animals (NJAFA).  Featured in the “Project Knock Out” campaign, Hopkins is promoting the need for spay/neuter programs for pit bulls in urban areas known for dog fighting, stray population and other abuses.

“I am happy to lend my name and likeness to this great cause,” said Hopkins, “as an owner of a pit, this is a project that is near and dear to me. I am looking forward to working with NJ Aid for Animals and the young fighters in Camden in order to get this message out there to make sure people spay and neuter their pits.”

Since launching NJAFA in 2005, this all-volunteer nonprofit has provided transport and funding for hundreds of dogs. “The fact is, there are too many pits that end up euthanized in local shelters.  We are compelled to take action and work to make a positive change. The billboard campaign will speak to the residents, “said Kathy McGuire, President and Founder of NJ Aid for Animals.
