Update on No Kill Advocacy Center Lawsuit to Protect Animals

The Superior Court in Los Angeles struck two blows against animal mistreatment in Los Angeles County’s animal shelters by giving plaintiffs the first two victories in their lawsuit.

For the court order ordering the County to allow plaintiffs to rescue animals, click here.

Background: The national No Kill Advocacy Center and two animal rescuers have jointly filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles County, its Department of Animal Care and Control, and the Department’s Director, Marcia Mayeda. The lawsuit alleges unlawful and abusive treatment of animals at all six Los Angeles County animal shelters.

Among the allegations in the 29-page complaint filed in Superior Court, the County Department of Animal Care and Control routinely:

• Kills healthy and treatable animals before their state mandated holding period expires;
• Misclassifies animals as “ill” or “injured” in order to kill them before their holding period expires even though the animals are not irremediably suffering as required by state law;
• Kills lost animals without making reasonable attempts to find the animals’ owners;
• Fails to provide adequate veterinary care to impounded animals, resulting in animal deaths;
• Fails to provide adequate nutrition, water, shelter and exercise to impounded animals and to treat the animals humanely and kindly;
• Refuses to release animals to rescue groups that are willing to care for the animals until adoptive homes can be found and, instead, kills the animals.

In addition, the County Department of Animal Care and Control unlawfully retaliates against animal rescuers and volunteers who publicize its unlawful treatment of animals.

The Best of No Kill Sheltering

In 2007, the No Kill Advocacy Center stopped producing our print magazine, No Kill Sheltering, in order to concentrate on building more readily available and cost effective ways to help advocates, shelters, and municipalities save lives, including launching a series of online seminars and workshops, and expanding the reach of our e-newsletter, The No Kill Advocate.

But because so many people have requested back copies, we are making our Best of No Kill Sheltering issue available for free as a download. Now you can get some of our most important articles, all in one place. Get your copy by clicking here.
