Tony La Russa Supports Prop B In Commercial Ad (Video)
Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 13th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Athletes-Games-Sports, Videos.
Tony La Russa has stepped up to the plate to voice his support for Missouri’s Proposition B, which set standards for pet breeders and is meant to reduce some of the negative consequences of puppy mills.
No stranger to animal activism, vegetarian La Russa started an animal shelter after rescuing a cat in the San Francisco Bay area. He appears in a pro-Prop B commercial that was unveiled today.
“Thousands of dogs are crammed into small and filthy cages for their entire lives at these large scale puppy mills,” La Russa says. “No responsible pet owner would ever treat an animal like that.”
Prop B is endorsed by several animal welfare organizations, which appear in the ad, including La Russa’s own Animal Rescue Foundation, Humane Society of Missouri, Humane Society of the United States, Best Friends Animal Society, ASPCA and the Missouri Alliance for Animal Legislation.
