Ep. 334: In "Breaking The Chain," PETA Urges To Bring Dogs Inside.

"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. See the documentary on Amazon, Apple TV, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, and Vimeo on Demand. For the trailer and more information on "Breaking the Chain" go here.

Ep. 322: Misothery? Like Misogyny only Toward Animals says author Jim Mason

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.

Ep. 320: The Animal Cruelty of No-Kill Shelters in Los Angeles

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.
