Skid Row is an area of approximately 50 square blocks located just east of downtown Los Angeles. Also known as Central City East, the area has a longstanding history as a residential neighborhood for those with the least. Skid Row is a residing place for approximately 4,000-5,000 homeless individuals. Many of these people suffer from mental illness and drug addiction.
Skid Row in Los Angeles is filled with caged, abused, neglected, and chained dogs. Many of these dogs are made to suffer in the sun without access to adequate water, food, and shade.
