Carson Animal Shelter216 West Victoria StreetGardena

During fiscal year 2007, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control killed 52,800 of the 85,975 animals they impounded. That’s a 61.4% kill rate. Those animals deserve to be more than just a statistic.

Join us in remembering the animals killed by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control in a candlelight vigil on Saturday, April 5, 2008 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Carson Animal Shelter.

On Sunday, April 6, 2008, Los Angeles County shelters will be closed to the public, and that is when the most killing will take place. This candlelight vigil will also remember those animals that will be killed on Sunday.

The candlelight vigil will feature speakers who had animals that they were going to rescue or adopt needlessly killed by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control and those who had animals they were going to rescue or adopt die at a Los Angeles County shelter due to the neglect of the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control.
