Saturday & Sunday protests for Puppy Mill Awareness Day

Puppy Mill Awareness Day is September 24 in Los Angeles, and Pet City campaign volunteers will be supporting two protests this weekend.  The first, hosted by Last Chance for Animals, will take place at actual puppy mills near Los Angeles.  The second protest will take place at Pet City in Stanton, as activists counter Pet City's decision to resume business with Puppy Mills by resuming our protests:  bigger, stronger, and louder.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24:  Last Chance for Animals Puppy Mill Protests
From LCA:  For Puppy Mill Awareness Day (PMAD) on Saturday September 24th LCA will be protesting at some of the actual pupppy mills where several of the puppies who are sold in L.A. pet shops come from.

We will caravan/carpool from West Hollywood Park, 647 N San Vincente, West Hollywood, CA, we are meeting at 11:00am and will leave no later 11:20am. We will be going to Littlerock, CA about 1 hr north of L.A. and will be demonstrating in front of 5 different puppy mills.

Let's let the puppy millers know they can't continue to hide in the desert. Let's make this a demo the puppy millers will never forget. It will be a peaceful demo. We have protested numerous pet stores over the years. It's time to go to the source and let them know we know all about them!

Although we won't be entering the mills, you will be able to see some of the mothers who are languishing in their kennels. Please come out and speak up for the dogs who are suffering in these mills. Water and Vegan snacks will be provided.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25:  Puppy Mill Protest at Pet City
Investigations at Pet City's stores in Whittier and Stanton have confirmed that they've gone back on their word to convert to an adoption-only pet store, and have recently re-stocked their cages with dozens of puppies from commercial breeding facilities in the Midwest.  Join other activists to show Pet City that this behavior is unacceptable, and unwelcome in our community.

Please meet on the public sidewalk in front of Shoe City, next door to Pet City. Shoe City is also owned by Pet City owners Judy and Leedy Ying, so we will be able to educate the customers of both stores about the abuse that they support.

The protest will begin at 1:00 p.m. sharp. Signs and literature will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own sign if you'd like. If you have any questions, please ask.

Use your voice to speak up for the animals suffering in puppy mills.

If you are disgusted by puppy mill cruelty - do something.

The animals need you.
