Mary Cummins founder of Animal Advocates attended the Blessing of the Animals at Olvera Street in Los Angeles, California today April 19, 2025. Archbishop Jose Horacio Gomez gave the blessing. Deputy Mayor Jacquelin Hamilton spoke along with councilmember Ysabel Jurado. The line to have animals blessed was half a mile long. People started standing in line early around 11:00 am instead of 1:00 pm.
The event was well attended and there were no incidents except one. The Aztec dance group for some reason released a couple of doves. The doves flew for maybe ten seconds and ended up on the ground. A dog instantly tried to eat one and had the entire dove in its mouth instantly. Thankfully a man got the dove out of the dog's mouth.
Never release doves. The doves they sell at the pet store have lived their entire lives in tiny cages. They can't fly! All those birds end up dead. When the popes used to release doves they would instantly be attacked and killed by seagulls and crows. We rescue a lot of these wedding doves and white pigeons. They cannot survive in the wild. They are too tame, can't find food and don't know how to avoid predators.
