Animal Activists Take Their Protest to Mayor
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
One day after meeting with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, about two dozen activists with the Animal Defense League protested at a Los Angeles Police Department event he attended Saturday at Paramount Studios.
The activists want the mayor to fire the chief of the city’s Animal Services Department because of what they say is the city’s high rate of euthanizing dogs. They called off a protest at Villaraigosa’s home after he agreed to meet with them Friday.
