Angelenos:

Canine blood banks, where dogs spend their lives in cages so that other dogs, lucky enough to be loved, can have access to their blood when needed, were supposed to be a thing of the past in California. This front-page story in today’s, Monday December 23, Los Angeles Times, explains how a loophole has meant that almost all canine blood in the state still comes from them.

Here’s an AOL link in case you hit a paywall at the Los Angeles Times (though please know there are fabulous subscription deals and we are lucky to have a paper worth supporting).

I hope you’ll be inspired (or incensed) to respond.  Those dogs need our voices.

As always, I thank Elaine Livesey-Fassel for keeping such a close eye on that paper for us and making sure we don’t miss a beat.

Yours and all animals’,
