11:20am |<\/strong> Animals furry, feathery, slimy and everything in-between came from far and wide to receive blessings at Marine Stadium in Long Beach this weekend, as the 9th annual Interfaith Blessing of the Animals was hosted by the Community Action Team and founder Justin Rudd. More than ten faith leaders led the ceremony that called for love, respect and peace for animals two-legged or four (or more). Check out these beautiful pictures from Mark Martinez (you can find more on his blog here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
