Comedian and “Last Comic Standing” finalist Rebecca Corry is taking her fight for animal welfare to court.

According to TMZ, her nonprofit, the Stand Up For Pits Foundation, has filed a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass, the LAPD, Los Angeles Animal Services and its manager Annette Ramirez. They are accusing them of failing to properly care for stray animals in shelters and in the Skid Row area.

Corry, who is also a longtime animal advocate, founded the organization to help pit bull-type dogs. According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, the foundation claims city officials repeatedly ignored laws meant to protect animals, leading to what they describe as widespread suffering.

The group says it has stepped in where the city didn’t, spending more than $50,000 on medical care for 11 dogs they believe Los Angeles was responsible for. The lawsuit asks the court to force the city and its agencies to meet their legal obligations and reimburse the foundation for the money it spent caring for the animals.

A spokesperson for Mayor Bass told TMZ,

“Mayor Bass has taken action to investigate allegations of animal cruelty in Skid Row, with the LAPD recently recovering dogs from an illegal puppy mill in the area.”
