Be Sure To Watch HBO America Undercover's Documentary "DEALING DOGS," a Look at
LCA's Groundbreaking Undercover Investigation On Pet Theft (info below)
Dear SIU,
On Valentine's Day, February 14th,
of every year, LCA joins forces with supporters, other animal organizations and
individuals nationwide to raise awareness and educate the public about pet
theft. Be a part of the
18th Annual Pet Theft Awareness Day
by attending or organizing a candlelight vigil in memory of the nearly
2 million companion animals stolen every year.
Many are sold to USDA licensed Class "B" animal dealers who then sell the
animals to research facilities, where they endure unimaginable torture and often
die. Please participate - YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Four Actions You Can Take To Fight Pet
Theft:
1) Attend LCA's Candlelight Vigil in Los Angeles!

Federal Building
11000 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Visit our forum at
www.animalnews.com/discuss/index.html to post your vigil or find
one near you!
2) Watch HBO America Undercover's "DEALING DOGS"!
On Tuesday, February 21, 2006 at 10PM/9C,
HBO America Undercover will air "Dealing
Dogs,"
a documentary profiling
LCA's groundbreaking 15 YEAR undercover investigation on pet theft.
The investigation culminated in the bust of the largest and most notorious Class
"B" animal dealer, C.C. Baird, in the biggest multi-agency (federal, state and
local) animal abuse case in U.S. history.
3) Support the Pet Safety and Protection Act (S. 451)
Please call 1-888-VOTESMART and urge your senators to co-sponsor this bill.
With the bust of Class "B" dealer C.C. Baird and the documentary "Dealing Dogs,"
the passage of the Pet Safety and Protection
Act has never been so close. We urge you to contact your senators and
ask them to co-sponsor this important bill that will prohibit Class "B" animal
dealers from supplying animals to research facilities.
4) Spread the Word!
