A large number of dead birds were found on the beach in Venice today.

Lifeguards located the dog about 600 yards from shore, secured it on the rescue sled, and transported it back to beach. While rescues like this one sure put a smile on our face, Lifeguards would like to remind beachgoers that dogs are not allowed on LA County Beaches.

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Highlights from "Defeat the Mandates Rally & March," at Palisades Park on Saturday, January 22, 2022. According to “Defeat the Mandates” organizers, the goal of the march is to peacefully protest vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, COVID vaccines for children, and censorship. Participants marched in support of informed consent, natural immunity, and the doctor/patient relationship which should exist independent of government interference. Additionally, rally supporters stressed the need for greater government transparency regarding published peer reviewed COVID research which continues to be suppressed. Participants consisted of people from all walks of life regardless of political affiliation, race, ideology or vaccination status."
