While politicians make promises, Spencer Pratt is helping these helpless dogs on Skid Row.

God bless him for being a voice for those who can’t speak for themselves.

“The defining characteristic of God is his unconditional love for mankind. The very same thing is the defining characteristic of dogs. Unconditional love for us.

It’s no wonder the dog is just God backwards. These heavenly animals are so faithful to us. They don’t judge us.

They don’t care if we live in a mansion or on the streets. They stick by our side. They put their full faith and trust in us.

And right now, a lot of bad people are betraying their faith and abusing these poor animals in the streets on Skid Row and in Karen Bass L.A. City Shelters. Questions are being raised about two dogs euthanized at the South L.A. Animal Shelter that rescue groups say were on hold for pickup. Larry Seahorn and his family thought they were set to pick up six-year-old Indigo on October 21st.

They recently lost their beloved 15-year-old pit bull Tonka to cancer and were ready to open their home and hearts to another dog. Both the rescue group and Seahorn say a deadline for pickup was never communicated by the shelter during their phone call. And they planned to pick up Indigo before the shelter closed at 5 p.m. No one arrived for Indigo at 8 a.m. And the shelter received no further communication that morning.

So Indigo was euthanized at noon. It’s been heartbreaking to see these animals that are perfectly good, as this one is an example, go to their death for no reason. Despite California code which states no adoptable animal should be euthanized if it can be adopted into a suitable home, they say perfectly healthy dogs without behavioral issues are killed because the shelters are overcrowded.

While she calls them no-kill shelters, they are murdering thousands of dogs here. And they just lie. On Skid Row, addicts are torturing dogs to death, stuffing them in trash bags and lighting them on fire, testing their drugs on them until they overdose and die.

They breed puppies to sell them for drugs. Everywhere you look, you see animals covered in open sores, riddled with flies, being beaten, starved. The abuse and neglect is so horrific, it’s overwhelming.

It must stop. When you hear the descriptions of what these dogs endured, it just breaks your heart. And the images, as you said, they are so disturbing that we pretty much had to blur everything.

Dogs found burned to death, their small bodies stuffed into trash cans and suitcases. The abuse of dogs is spiraling out of control at homeless encampments. The dog was running, screaming, on fire, trying to get into people’s homes.

He was asking for help. The damage to this dog is very intentional. The poor dog, you know, it looks like it’s been burned.

It was wrapped in a plastic trash bag. In Hollywood on Franklin and Van Ness, animal activists say someone stuffed a dead dog into a suitcase. I went with Joey Tuchio and Rebecca Corey as they brought food to some of these neglected dogs on Skid Row.

Covered in flies, wounds all over. How’s that not neglect? Every day, I just gave a whole can of food and she devoured it. There are four dogs, the dogs are walking in the street.

I mean, it’s a disaster. Yeah, and there’s dogs right here that could be hit by cars. And we’ve told everybody about it, but nobody cares.

Nobody cares. The next day, the sweet little angel was run over by a car. It breaks my heart to see this horror on our streets.

It’s all illegal. Everything I’m looking at is illegal. There’s an entire stolen bike.

They’re breeding their dogs over here, and they’ve been breeding their dogs forever. This is like, with the right person in charge, this can be taken care of, correct? These are all manageable, but there’s no, there’s nothing. Here’s what I will do as mayor to save these poor animals.

Step one, end the abuse. We are cleaning out Skid Row. I will stand up a task force within LAPD, Tactical Cause, Protecting Animal Welfare and Safety.

Anyone caught abusing animals is going to prison. I will have zero tolerance for animal abuse in our city. Step two, spay and neuter.

By enforcing spay and neuter laws, we can lower shelter intake and euthanasia numbers in our shelters. We cannot rescue our way out of this animal crisis, but low cost, spay and neuter, education of basic law enforcement has been ignored for years by Karen Bass and Nithya Raman. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

We will target the highest volume and most underserved areas first. We will also shut down backyard breeders and prosecute anyone selling dogs without city licensing. On Skid Row, a one-year-old Doberman named Pebbles is pregnant with her first litter.

Her owner, Dwight, bred her intentionally. Yes. He plans to sell the puppies.

Rescuers sent us video after video of litters littering the streets. Several show puppies in shopping carts, often for sale. The reasons why people breed dogs on Skid Row vary at the root of them all is why not? Step three, support our heroes.

The animals suffering in the shelter system would have nothing without volunteers. Superheroes like Joey Tuchio and Rebecca Corey have been fighting to save dogs on our streets and in Karen Bass’s shelters for years. I have a surprise guest and it is Juliana.

And she’s doing so good. Look how gorgeous she is. Look at her skin.

Look how, it looks great. Very smooth. She had a bath and she’s here for a couple hours destroying this toy before she goes to our trainer, Kim, just so we could assess her a little bit more.

Say hi. Oh, so sweet. So sweet.

Okay, I just want to show everybody how beautiful and how great she’s doing. They have been doing God’s work along with countless volunteers who have been silenced, harassed, and bullied for decades. And it’s time they’re heard and respected.

My message to Mayor Karen Bass is to wake up. We’ve been trying to get your attention for years. We’ve done protests.

We’ve done petitions. We’ve talked on city hall. You have not even acknowledged us.

You have not even acknowledged the animal crisis. While Karen Bass pays cronies to lie and pretend that this crisis isn’t happening, these volunteers are on the front lines of this crisis and they deserve to be heard, not threatened for telling the truth. But after this viral email from LA Animal Services volunteer coordinator claims a total of 800 dogs faced a possible death sentence, they angrily marched into Friday’s city council meeting demanding change.

Volunteer Kathy Serkis says she was fired from the West Valley Shelter in Chatsworth. She occasionally took dogs on their last walk. I did that a couple of times and I won’t do it again because it’s too difficult to be walking around the block and trying to hold back your tears because you know this is the last time.

This animal is going to be able to go on a walk and see the outside. Her favorite was a pity mix named Tico who she swears was nothing but a good adoptable dog. He went to the back room and they killed him and then a few minutes later, I was given back my empty leash.

When I’m mayor, our city shelters will welcome these heroes with open arms and we will work with them to provide dignified and safe conditions for these poor animals. Step four, fix the shelters. Currently, these dogs are being fed one meal a day, have to lie in their own feces, rotting away in wire cages with no time for exercise and play.

It’s worse than prison. These aren’t murderers, they’re dogs. They’re innocent animals and they live worse than serial killers on death row.

We will completely overhaul the city shelter system. We will hire a director of LAAS who puts animals first and maintains a budget for proper food and medical care. Step five, find them homes.

Some cities have led pilot programs of mutual rehabilitation where criminals are given the chance to care for dogs who have been neglected and rescued from abuse. Within the walls of the South Central Correctional Center, inside the Sixth House D-Wing is where 30 inmates train dogs from Springfield’s Rescue One. The inmates prepare them for adoption through the prison’s Puppies for Parole program.

The program began back in 2010 as a way to reduce the number of dogs in shelters while providing offenders with a positive outlet. It gives me an opportunity to be able to give back to the community that I took from at one time and it gives us a sense of responsibility. When you’re separated from your family and you can care for another being and help them in their life, that’s what helps me get through the days.

And it’s my life in here. I’ll do it till I die or I leave. In these programs, the dogs get a caring human whose entire day revolves around loving, training, and caring for them.

And those criminals find a sense of renewed purpose in caring for their animals. That unconditional love that God imbued in all of us elevates our behavior beyond what any institution of man ever could. Dogs see the best in us and they help us see the best in ourselves.

Dogs are not property. They are not disposable. They are truly a gift from God.

We must cherish that gift and share it freely. If we work together, we can not only lift these heavenly creatures out of their misery in this city, but we can lift ourselves too. The city of angels is a city of dogs.”
