Last Chance for Animals (LCA)

Qui sommes-nous

In 1984, Chris DeRose founded Last Chance for Animals (LCA), a national, nonprofit animal advocacy organization focused on investigating, exposing, and ending animal exploitation.
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating animal exploitation through education, investigations, legislation and media attention. The organization believes that animals are highly sentient creatures who exist for their own reasons independent of their service to humans; they should not be made to suffer for the latter. LCA therefore opposes the use of animals in food and clothing production, scientific experimentation, and entertainment. Instead, it promotes a cruelty-free lifestyle and the ascription of rights to non-human beings.

Since its formation in 1984, Last Chance for Animals (LCA) has succeeded as one of the nation´s pioneer animal advocacy organizations.
LCA´s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has worked with prosecutors nationwide to put animal abusers behind bars.
LCA´s educational and public outreach programs have empowered the public to make positive changes for the animals in their own communities.
