GIVING ANIMALS A FIGHTING CHANCE

About Me


Founded in 1984, Last Chance for Animals (LCA), has been in action for over two decades, giving animals a fighting chance! Originally protesting against vivisection through civil disobedience, LCA had broadened its focus to include all areas of society where animals are abused, including keeping stolen family pets out of research labs, working on the passage of legislation for the humane treatment of all animals and exposing the cruelty of the fur, meat and dairy industries.
LCA has been termed the "FBI of Animal Rights" and is stepping up the fight by increasing the scope of our Special Investigations Unit that provides the indisputable evidence required to expose animal cruelty and create real, lasting change. Past victories include exposing the disgusting Premairn industry , the heartbreaking puppy mill industry , and most recently, the bust of the most notorious Class "B" dealer, C.C. Baird. You can read more about this bust and HBO's documentary on the investigation at www.DealingDogs.com
LCA believes animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment. Non-human animals are sentient individuals and should not be subjected to exploitation by humans. LCA recognizes all living beings as possesing intrinsic value and, as such, they are entitled to certain basic rights.

How You Can Get Help Stopping Puppy Mills

  • Adopt from an animal shelter or rescue group; never buy from a pet store. Remember that 25% of shelter animals are purebreds.

  • Do not shop at stores that sell animals.

  • Ask your elected officials to outlaw puppy mills. Urge them to demand that the USDA enforce the Animal Welfare Act. For your senators’ and representatives’ contact information, visit www.vote-smart.org/index.phtml

  • Write letters to the editors of your local newspapers about the horrors of the puppy mill industry and its connection with pet stores.

  • Distribute brochures about puppy mills and pet overpopulation outside of pet shops

  • Ask shopping mall managers not to renew the lease of the pet store on their property.

  • Report pet store abuses to whomever is responsible for enforcing anti-cruelty laws in your town. Write a detailed statement of the abuses and take photographs, if possible.

  • Educate others about the cruelties of puppy mills and the importance of adopting from shelters

  • Visit our website to learn how you can get involved!
