WHERE: Pets of Bel Air
2924 Beverly Glen Circle
Bel Air, CA 90077
WHAT: Last Chance for Animals (LCA), Best Friends Animals Society and
concerned citizens are announcing the beginning of weekly peaceful protests
that will educate the public and urge Pets of Bel Air to stop selling live
animals. "LCA and Best Friends do not want Pets of Bel Air to go out of
business, we only want Pets of Bel Air to stop selling puppy mill puppies
and deal only in accessories and pet supplies. We would welcome the
opportunity to promote Pets of Bel Air as a humane pet store and help boost
their business." Due to 5 months of dedicated and peaceful demonstrations
by LCA and Best Friends, Posh Puppy pet stores have ended their puppy sales
and began a humane trend for Los Angeles pet stores. Their announcement of
no longer selling live animals or supporting the puppy mill industry has
brought a newer hope for animals to be adopted. Best Friends and LCA are
committed to a "Puppy Store Free LA."
