Last Chance For Animals 



This organization, Last Chance For Animals fights for the lives of many animals. Some of their campaigns are vivisection/animal testing, ban live export and puppy mills. Vivisection is when they cut into live animals its commonly called "animal research". On their web page they have pictures of many of these animals being mistreated as well as videos. They also make a very valid point in where we think of animals as if they feel no pain. When in reality there nervous system is quite similar to ours so they feel pain just as we do. There are many differences as well and many of the diseases humans get do not naturally occur in these animals they have to be induced with the disease to get "accurate" results. The side affects that happen to these animals does not mean it will happen to humans because they are quite different in many ways but not when it comes to feeling pain. These are some of the examples given to us on there webpage:

  • Sheep can swallow enormous quantities of arsenic and remain healthy.
  • Morphine calms and anesthetizes man but causes maniacal excitement in cats and mice.
  • Fialuridine does not harm dogs and monkeys but often proves fatal to humans.
  • Almonds can kill foxes.
  • Parsley is poisonous to parrots.
  • Penicillin is fatal to guinea pigs.
  • Chocolate can kill dogs.

They talk about puppy mills they give facts , which you guys know a little about from one of my posts. They have Puppy Mill Awareness Day, "Every September (since 2004), LCA and Paws of Austin host the annual Puppy Mill Awareness Day (PMAD) to raise awareness of the brutal realities of puppy mills. The event began in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and has evolved to include Los Angeles, CA and Austin, TX. Each year, attendance increases at PMAD as more and more people become educated about puppy mills." (Last Chance For Animals) They do a lot for these animals and you can become a member and donate monthly or even just once. I will later on my next post go into more detail on animal testing. You can go to there website to find out more information about what they do and how you can help.
