Last Chance for Animals 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.
