Working Towards Stopping the Dog Meat Trade 365 Days a Year With ongoing investigations and public awareness campaigns, LCAs Stop Dog Meat 365 campaign focuses on ending the horrific dog and cat meat trade in China and South Korea that happens 365 days a year. In addition to boots on the ground teams in Asia, LCA is working with the U.S. federal government to eradicate the dog and cat meat industry. LCA supported Representative Alcee Hastings (D-FL) efforts to pass legislation that will ban the sale of dog and cat meat in the United States as well as officially condemn the annual Yulin Dog Meat Festival in China. In January 2017, LCA met with South Korean Parliamentary member, Pyo Chang-won at the National Assembly in Seoul to lend support to his amendment to strengthen existing animal protection laws. LCA sponsored an anti-dog meat billboard in Bucheon, South Korea for one year. LCA continues to work with government and activists on the ground in China and South Korea to put an end to the brutal dog meat industry. In October 2017, LCA formed a sister organization in Seoul, South Korea, Animal Liberation Wave, with one goal in mind; to work full time on ending the dog meat trade. Every year, an estimated one million dogs are tortured and killed for their meat in South Korea. LCA used undercover footage and photos of both China and South Koreas dog meat trade to hold anti-dog meat protests outside the South Korean Embassy in Los Angeles and Washington D.C. in June and July 2017. www.StopDogMeat.comRingling Bros. Circus is Finally Out of Business LCA has been at the forefront of the movement against Ringing Bros. that garnered international attention exposing the severe animal cruelty that Ringling tried so desperately to hide. Ringling Bros. circus stopped using elephants in May 2016 and finally closed for good after 146 years, in May 2017. The final performance marked the end of a cruel era of Ringling breeding animals or stealing them from the wild and forcing them to perform demeaning, unnatural tricks out of fear. The end of Ringling Bros. is a hard-won victory that followed decades of investigations and protests by LCA. www.NoCircusCruelty.comBanning Whales, Dolphins & Porpoises in Captivity Canadian Bill S-203, the Ending of Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act, passed out of the Senate Committee on Fisheries and Oceans in 2017 and will be heard before the full Senate.
