“Vote for the dogs. Vote for Pratt,” Pratt’s caption said on a campaign video posted on X Friday.
“These dogs are voiceless, and we are here to give them a voice,” Pratt said, as he sat next to L.A.-based Youtuber Amanda McCants, who joined him for the video.
In the video, Pratt and McCants interviewed three dogs in an ironic sit-down style interview.
“First of all, thank you for taking the time to meet with us,” McCants said. “We know how busy you are,” Pratt replied, as the camera cut to the dogs lying on the couch.
“As mayor, I want to enforce the spay and neutering so you and all your friends don’t end up dead in these alleged no-kill shelters,” Pratt said.
Pratt mentioned another dog, Glenda, had been force-bred in a backyard and then thrown out.
“Glenda, you look like you were overbred,” Pratt said. He later apologized to the dog, saying, “Glenda, you look great, I’m sorry I said anything about your body.”
The video showed flashbacks of Glenda from when she was rescued and her being wheeled on a stretcher.
Pratt called on Glenda again, “Where are the laws, Glenda? This is illegal.”
Pratt joked that another dog, named Pippen, may remember him from the show Celebrity Big Brother UK or Celebrity Big Brother UK All-Stars.
“Before the Palisades burned down because of…” Pratt interjected. “I can’t film those anymore,” McCants replied.
Pratt made a hand gesture and facial expression that indicated he did not want to say the person’s name, which is alluded to be the city’s current mayor, Karen Bass.
Pratt has consistently criticized Bass’s handling of the Palisades fires, in which the former reality star lost his home.
He has also been vocal about his activism before, speaking on comedian and TV personality Howie Mandel’s podcast, and another time when he posted a video for a “rally to save our pets from the zombies,” referring to the city’s homeless population.
“Vote for Pratt,” McCants said at the end.
Text on the video said, “We are their voice. Speak out for dogs.” Pratt added credits at the end of the clip, giving special thanks to Todd, Glenda, and Pippen, saying, “Very special thanks to our Los Angeles shelter survivors.”
Pratt is running against Bass, and city council member Nithya Raman to be the next mayor. The primary election will be held on June 2.
