Last Chance for Animals
LCA is one of the pioneering animal rights organizations started by former actor and author, Chris DeRose. First established on the issue of vivisection and stolen companion animals being sold to research facilities, LCA has grown since first established in 1984. Through the years, LCA has virtually worked on every animal issue. LCA is known for doing undercover investigations that expose horrendous animal abuse and bring abusers to justice.
LCA’s undercover investigations into Class B dealers (licensed by the USDA), that steal people’s companion animals and sell them to research resulted in the nation’s first state prison sentences for multiple-count cruelty cases.
In 2016, the 2nd version of Chris’ autobiography, “In Your Face,†was released. The book was the final achievement that earned him the prestigious Courage of Conscience International Peace Award - an honor he shares with Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.
