On March 5, 2011 my friend Gill Gillono hosted a free screening of the film "Bold NAtive" at the Maekeen Room in Chicago. This event was also a fundraiser vegan bakesale/raffle for Dont Bully My Breed. We raised $1000.00 at the event and had an amazing time! This is the slideshow we presented after the film to show people about DBMB.

1. "We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.”-Albert Schweitzer

2. Catherine Hedges, the founder of Dont Bully My Breed and Rocco, her dog that inspired her to rescue. Catherine doing rescue in an area devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
