WHAT: On November 3, 2008, L.A. County Assistant Fire Chief Glynn
Johnson severely beat his next door neighbor’s 6 month old German
shepherd puppy, Karley. Her eye was gouged out, her jaw pulled
apart, her nose broken, her skull was crushed and she had to be
euthanized hours after the beating. On December 16, 2008, Johnson
was charged by the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office
with one count of felony animal cruelty with two enhancements of
using a deadly weapon to commit a felony.
We will be thanking the Riverside County DA’s office for bringing
charges and arresting Johnson for this heinous crime and asking
for the maximum penalty. We will also be asking L.A. County Fire
Chief P. Michael Freeman to fire Johnson and severely curtail his
pension benefits.
Last Chance for Animals President, Chris DeRose, says, "LCA will
not rest until Johnson is fired and put behind bars for his
barbaric act of cruelty."

WHO: Last Chance for Animals (LCA), a pioneering animal rights
organization based in Los Angeles, has been active for more than
two decades. Led by former actor and author Chris DeRose, LCA’s
roots began in fighting and exposing the inherent cruelty of
vivisection. As its reputation and influence has grown, LCA has
been able to stage direct action to help animals and expose
abusers as well as gathering substantive evidence in order to
send abusers to jail.
