Founded in 1984 by Hollywood actor Chris DeRose, Last Chance For Animals (LCA) has its roots in
fighting and exposing the inherent cruelty of vivisection. In the organization's early years, DeRose led
a team of dedicated activists employing non-violent strategies modeled after social movements led by
such leaders as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Mission Statement
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as
such they deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by humans. LCA believes
that non-human animals should not be subjected to suffering and exploitation by humans because
alternatives exist for nearly every traditional "usage" of animals. LCA opposes the use of animals for
scientific curiosity, entertainment, clothing, and food. LCA recognizes the use of non-human animals
in medical experimentation as both immoral and of questionable scientific validity due to the
tremendous biological difference between species. LCA's work advocates conscious and informed
lifestyle decisions, and LCA is committed to disseminating truthful information about societal animal
abuse to improve the treatment of animals.

Purpose
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) is an international, non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating
animal exploitation through education, investigations, legislation, and media attention.
 I chose this Last chance for Animals organization because I love animals. The purpose of Last

Chance for Animals is to eliminate animal exploitation through education, investigations, legislation,

and media attention. LCA believes that animals are highly sentient creatures who exist for their own

reasons independent of their service to humans. Last Chance for Animals opposes the use of animals in

food and clothing production, scientific experimentation, and entertainment. Last Chance for Animals

also promotes a cruelty free lifestyle and the ascription of rights to non human beings. They support

veganism and oppose animal testing. The personal benefits I would gain by volunteering for this

organization is I will be able to fill in the gaps of needed services. helps to socialize the animals, spend

time with them, walk them, and many other important tasks that help keep the facility running.
