Skid Row Animal Abuse in LA Mayoral Race | Los Angeles News

Animal abuse on Skid Row is heating up the LA mayoral race as both candidates, Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, step in with bold promises — but activists say it’s been ignored too long. Volunteers describe harrowing scenes of neglected dogs and puppies amid dangerous conditions, while residents struggle to care for their pets with barely enough for themselves. Bass has made her pilot animal cruelty program permanent, Raman is making welfare a campaign centerpiece, and even the FBI is offering a $5K reward for prosecutions. Yet frontline advocates argue these moves are overdue — and the election’s biggest battleground might just be the suffering animals and people living side by side in one of America’s most overlooked neighborhoods.
