Pets are being massacred in South Los Angeles, where animal advocates said they are finding cats and dogs shot, dismembered and left to rot in trash bags.
Volunteers at Friends of Normie, a local animal rescue organization, have come across the sickening scenes while trying to care for stray cats in the neighborhood.
“We’d be walking down the street and just find a garbage bag with a dog limb,” Amanda Prestontold Fox 11.
Volunteers recently rescued a cat that had been shot with a BB gun, the animal advocate said.
“There are a lot of animals being targeted by pellet guns specifically right now,” Preston said.
She worries that lawmakers aren’t doing enough to enforce laws against animal cruelty.
“They have these laws in place that they can enforce in terms of animal abandonment, animal negligence and animal abuse,” Preston told the outlet.
“The city is really just choosing not to enforce any of it at this point.”
Major international animal rights organization PETA recentlysent a letterto California Governor Gavin Newsom about the problem in LA’s notorious Skid Row, asking for “immediate action to address the ongoing companion animal crisis.”
“Animals are being abused, neglected, bred, sold, and even killed — all in violation of local and state laws,” it wrote.
