Los Angeles - Join IDA to Protest the Massacre of Dogs in China

AUGUST 27, 2006 11:00 a.m.

Save this date to attend a major demonstration against the massacre of more than 54,000 dogs in China in a brutal attempt to stem the spread of rabies to humans.

Security officials are stopping people who are walking their dogs and beating the animals to death with clubs in front of them. Other dogs are being poisoned or killed by hanging and electrocution.

We will also demonstrate to educate the public about the horrific companion animal fur trade in China and asking them to boycott the Beijing Olympics and all products that are Made in China.

When: Sunday, August 27, 2006 11:00 a.m.

Where: Los Angeles, Gateway to Chinatown
600 North Broadway at Cesar Chavez
Parking at Location: $5.00
