NKLA Mission Statement:
“We are the best friends of animals. We are a movement. We are a coalition of organizations and passionate individuals dedicated to making Los Angeles a no-kill city. Last year more than 17,000 healthy or treatable animals were killed in L.A. City Shelters. Each one an individual. Each one a loving pet worth saving. 17,000. That number should be zero. And it can be. There is a solution, but only if the people who care work together. Join us and help make L.A. into NKLA.”
Margaret Denise Quigley professionally known as Maggie Q, is an American actress and former fashion model. She currently stars in the title role on the action-thriller TV series Nikita. A longtime supporter of Best Friends Animal Society, Maggie has added her voice to their No Kill LA initiative in an effort to make Los Angeles a no-kill city when it comes to animal shelters. What that means is that healthy animals and animals with treatable conditions won’t be put to sleep just because they’re having a tough time finding homes. Los Angeles is an excellent place to start. “If No Kill LA happens in Los Angeles, it’s such a trend setting city, it could happen spread all over the United States, and that’s our goal.” Q says.
Three barks for Maggie Q for her work there. Anytime a celebrity adds their voice to a cause,,,,it is good public relations for that cause.
