Pibbles n Kibbles Animal Rescue

Get Repost App • Vanessa Shakib | Animals, Pets, & Law This one is personal. My client, Starts With One Today, has been on the ground in Skid Row for years documenting what the city refuses to acknowledge.

We sent a complaint to the FBI, DOJ, and others reporting ongoing animal abuse and other potential violations of federal law. We’re demanding a federal investigation because local officials have refused to act. Unexplained mysteries.

Mayor Bass created an animal welfare task force that had one publicized bust and then went silent. Officers have since confirmed it was disbanded. My client calls LAPD and LA Animal Services regularly. No help is available.

The animals on Skid Row have no voice and no vote. That’s exactly why we’re demanding a federal investigation. And now that the mayoral election has happened — whoever is in that office needs to know we are still watching and we are not going away.

Thank you California Post New York Post for publishing my op-ed on this important issue.

Part of the money will be used to spay and neuter dogs on Skid Row. Weird that there hasn’t been any specific announcements. But lucky for you all, I do. Since the events happened, doctors showed up who clearly didn’t want to be there, and two dogs had to be rushed in the emergency from after because equipment used to work on the dogs were unsterilized leading to multiple infections in the dogs. When the SPCA was asked to cover those bills, They declined at first, and then had to be fought for them to pay the bills. Reminder they just got $7 million and couldn’t handle or wouldn’t handle an emergency vet bill that they caused. Now they have made so many restrictions towards the spay and neuter on Skid Row it is next to impossible for any rescue to work with them diligently. So once again, one of Karen Bass’s genius plans has fallen apart in less than a month.

NEED TO VOTE OUT BASS AND EVERY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER! THEY ARE ALL FAILING THE ANIMALS AND US!!

Get • “Humane L.A.” is what the city calls itself. The proposed budget says otherwise. I wrote about it. 🔗 Link in bio.
