“City officials are being accused by a prominent animal rights activist of ignoring horrifying abuses being inflicted on Skid Row dogs that include being injected with drugs by addicts, caged under heavy tarps in sweltering temperatures, beaten, stabbed and even sexually attacked.
Rebecca Corry, the nationally recognized founder of Stand Up For Pits Foundation, said her pleas with the Los Angeles Police Department, Mayor Karen Bass and Animal Services, to do something about pain being inflicted on dogs on Skid Row have gone unanswered even after the body of a woman was found in a homeless encampment where her remains were being eaten by dogs.
“The rage I have, the sadness is unbelievable. We have seen Skid Row rampant with dog abuse, but the City of Los Angeles has done nothing. Mayor Bass, stop ignoring us,” Corry told Los Angeles in a passionate interview. Her foundation also posted a video containing a number of the allegations she says are being ignored by officials.
The city dismantled its animal cruelty task force in 2021, making it even harder to stop the horrendous mistreatment of dogs in plain view amid the poverty and despair that stretches over the 54 blocks that comprises Skid Row. Corry also had harsh words for Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman, who has vowed to make the pursuit of animal cruelty cases a key initiative for his office.” – @lamag (follow on Instagram)
