Last Chance for Animals to Protest Korean Dog Meat Trade

Last Chance for Animals to lead Los Angeles Protest Against Korean Dog Meat Trade - Thurs. July 21, 2016 at South Korean Consulate.

Last Chance for Animals (LCA) and animal advocates Nami Kim of NamiKim.org, START Rescue, and KoreanDogs.org, will be protesting the Korean dog meat trade outside the South Korean Consulate on Thursday, July 21 from 10:30am-1:30pm at 3243 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA.
