http://youtu.be/jZmdLn_C1g8?list=UUNlYdrIaEC2c2H9r5Lbc3qg Recently I had the opportunity to help out an incredible cause by filming and editing a piece on Gracie, a beautiful Alpaca who draws your attention the very moment you lay eyes on her. As the organization behind the rescue of Gracie and the prosecution against her abuser, ALDF (Animal Legal Defense Fund) raised funds and provided various resources to help with the case. All in all Gracie was rescued with over 150 other Alpacas, but with Gracie's gentle demeanor and fascinating markings she was chosen to stand as an ambassador for all animals neglected and abused during National Justice For Animals week, and show how a battered beautiful being such as her can be given a second chance at a life of comfort and happiness. The project was filmed over the course of a month, in locations such as Cross Creek Alpaca Rescue and Portland ALDF offices. The video helps to bring awareness to the ALDF organization, the work they do for animals, and the need for people to stand up for these animals that lack a voice to express their pain and horror. Take a moment to visit these organizations online and understand more about who they are and how you can help.
