LOS ANGELES, CA – The Angelenos who love animals and hate cruelty to animals have been asked to donate to the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation for donation on Tuesday. Donations will help fight animal cruelty and support local animal welfare programs.
According to the foundation, the contributions will fund the training of officers, equipment and supplies for the county’s animal welfare and control department to enforce animal cruelty laws, save abused animals and neglected and to support the prosecution of animal abusers.
The animal control service needs additional resources to enforce and prevent animal cruelty, such as a dog left in a car on a hot day, animal torture, or illegal dog or rooster fighting. The DACC cites research showing that those who commit animal abuse often degenerate into human abuse later in life.
The Animal Care Foundation has several programs in place to help animals who need it most, including those arriving at county animal shelters with extraordinary medical needs. It also raises funds for sterilization programs, pet adoptions, and public education.
The county department serves approximately 45,000 animals per year and provides round-the-clock services in unincorporated areas and in 45 of the county’s 88 towns.
Giving Tuesday is an effort to inspire people around the world to support causes and programs that matter to them.
