"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.
