Animal activists and friends will gather at the Carson animal shelter on Saturday to protest what their press release calls "the county's Department of Animal Care and Control's continued alleged neglect of the animals in their care."

According to the press release,

Among the Departments numerous alleged violations of Department Policy and Procedure, Board of Supervisor Policy and Procedure, and State and Federal law, the Department has and continues to engage in the following:

·          Causing animals unnecessary suffering, sickness, and death

·         Not providing animals with proper medical care

·         Not providing animals with adequate nutrition, shelter, exercise, and water

·         Not treating animals kindly and humanely

·         Routine failure to hold employees accountable

·         Retaliating against employees, volunteers, and members of the public for exposing patterns of neglect

"The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control subjects the animals in their care to horrid conditions," said Ryan Olshan, protest organizer.  "They are failing to provide animals with basic care as dictated under law.  These are laws that were put into place to prevent what is happening at the County's 6 shelters."
