Activists stopped a transfer of 100,000 macaques from Sri Lanka to China. Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel, PETA primatologist, says had the deal gone through, it would have devastated Sril Lanka's unique toque macaque monkey population and hurt the entire country.  By keeping them in Sri Lanka, Jones-Engel says the monkeys were saved from almost surely becoming part of the animal experimentation industry.

Oregon's Health and Science University (OHSU) doesn't want the public to know about the cruel experiments it conducts involving the drunken habits of voles. 

Now an Oregon court has ordered OHSU to pay PETA more than $434,000 for the tactics used to prevent the truth from coming out.

Dr. Alka Chandna, PETA VP of Laboratory Investigations, talks to Emil Guillermo about how the fight for animal rights has become a legal battle for key evidence of animal cruelty.

HISA, the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, finally began its investigation of the 12 horse deaths at Churchill Downs.  And it could lead to a shutdown of the race track while the findings are pending. 

HISA appears to be following all the recommendations made by PETA's Horse Racing Department that was sent to Churchill Downs at the beginning of May when the death toll was at two horses.

PETA's Kathy Guillermo, Sr. VP and head of PETA's horse racing division, discusses what's at stake, and what HISA could do if it's  serious about ending deaths in racing.

If you've seen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 (the new live-action feature film) find out more about what it's all about. And if you haven't, see why Rocket Raccoon is the new patron saint of laboratory animals in the fight against vivisectionists and animal experimenters.

Emil Guillermo talks with PETA's Amy Meyer on the film's significance in spreading the word to a mass audience. 

The film, written and directed by James Gunn, does that admirably.

This interview may be a "full-on spoiler" to some, but not when the real-life situation with animals in laboratories is far worse than anyone can imagine.

For the truth, see the real undercover videos of animal experimentation here.

Get the facts here.

See what it really looks like inside laboratories.

In a perfect ethical world, you'd be vegan. And so would your animal companion. 

But few pet owners are vegan or even feed their companions vegan diets. 

Now is the time to make that happen. 

You deserve to eat better food, of course. But your dog deserves better than commercial dog food.

Diana Laverdure-Dunetz is a dog nutritionist with a website at www.plantpowereddog.com. She says an average vegan dog living to age 12 could say an estimated 10,000 animals from being slaughtered for dog food.

In this conversation with podcast host Emil Guillermo, Laverdure-Dunetz talks about the health advantages of feeding your dog fresh, nutritious, and safe food for your dog.

For starters, did you know dogs love blueberries?

Take action. Learn more about veganism at PETA.org
