"Breaking The Chain," a documentary executive produced by Anjelica Huston, shows PETA's Community Animal Project in action, saving animals in the Norfolk, Virginia, area. But chief among their concern is the number of chained dogs in the area. Many are abused, malnourished, and tethered mercilessly to a chain in all weather, from hot summers to cold winters. PETA has forced local and state officials to establish anti-tethering laws. It's a model for the country. The documentary also addresses the problem with no-kill shelters, and why avoiding euthanasia is not the answer to the dog and cat overpopulation problem.  Daphna Nachminovitch, PETA Sr.VP for cruelty investigations, speaks with Emil Guillermo.

What is misothery? Akin to misogyny, author Jim Mason has coined "misothery" as the phrase describing how we "other" animals. Mason, a co-author with philosopher Peter Singer on "Animal Factories," has written a new edition of his 1993 classic, "An Unnatural Order--Roots of Our Destruction of Nature." Mason connects our "othering" of animals with racism, colonialism, and white supremacy in this conversation with Emil Guillermo.  Go to PETA.org for more.

Cesar Chavez fought for farmworker rights, but he was also a devout animal lover and did not eat animal flesh. In honor of Cesar Chavez Day (March 31), we reprise our interview with Barbara J. King who talks about empathy toward animals. For some like Chavez it's developed over time through their dogs and animal companions, as King explains, recognizing empathy in animals is a two-way street.

It's an emergency situation at the animal shelters in Los Angeles, which are suffering from an overpopulation problem that, in turn, shuts out the growing number of animals that still need homes. The city's"no-kill" policy was intended to be a "feel-good" measure, but it has resulted in a lack of space in increasingly crowded shelters and animals abandoned on the street. PETA Sr.VP Lisa Lange talks to Emil Guillermo about how the situation got this way and how "no-kill" is no answer to the city's dog and cat overpopulation. Go to PETA.org to find out more.

A third dog died on March 12 at the 2024 Iditarod, the 1,000-mile race of animal cruelty held every year in Alaska. A three-year-old male dog named Henry is the third death in three days. Two other race dogs, Bog, a two-year-old, and George, a four-year-old both died on Sunday. "The Iditarod is the shame of Alaska," said Tracy Reiman, PETA's executive vice president. "How many more dogs need to die before this stops?"  These are the first deaths of dogs in the race since 2019. PETA Sr.campaigner Melanie Johnson, who has worked to end the Iditarod for six years, talks to host Emil Guillermo about how these deaths heighten the urgency to end the race once and for all. End the Iditarod now. Visit PETA.org The PETA Podcast PETA, the world's largest animal rights organization, is 9 million strong and growing. This is the place to find out why.

Playwright, author, and poet Ishmael Reed's new play, "The Shine Challenge, 2024," gives animals a voice in the fight for justice. Shine is a black man said to have survived the Titanic in 1912.  But he's accused of sinking the ship and put on trial. Who saves the African American Shine? The animals. Specifically, a polar bear and a shark. It's surreal, satirical, and definitely an anti-speciesist work of art. Get a ticket to a private link to watch a pre-recorded live reading.
