  • Ep. 243: PETA's Vegan Food Justice In Detroit

    PETA's Food Justice campaign goes to America's food deserts--areas abandoned by supermarkets and food businesses--to introduce fresh, nutritious food and veganism to hungry people. In September, PETA worked with Detroit City Council President Pro Tem James Tate, and local food businesses, Estella's Vegan Cuisine and Desserts and JD's Vegan Ice Cream, for a vegan food giveaway. PETA's Rachelle Owen, a Detroit native, talks about how veganism can make a difference in a food desert and change people's lives.

  • Ep. 242:More than a Million Europeans Demand End to Animal Testing

    More than a million people in Europe have demanded new laws to end animal testing, and it was PETA UK that led the way.

    Dr. Julia Baines of PETA UK  talks to Emil Guillermo about the historical achievement  (more than a million signatures from EU citizens in 22 countries) that now puts pressure on the EU Parliament to address the will of the people. Dr. Baines describes the campaign to get the signatures, why it was necessary in the first place, and what happens next.

  • Ep.241: The Non-Menopausal Marmosets: When NIH Funds Bad Science, We All Lose

    Here's what passes for science at a major U.S. university. Experiments on menopause involving animals who don't naturally experience menopause, and all intended to find treatments for menopause in humans. You don't need to be a scientist to think that doesn't make sense. And neither does the $4 million the National Institutes of Health gave a researcher at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst to do the research.

    PETA has filed a suit to get video and documents to expose and put a stop to the experiments. In the meantime, the wasteful experiments continue. Why do they happen? This is the way grant-funded science works in America. PETA is trying to change that with among other things the Research Modernization Deal.

    Emil talks about the UMASS case to Katherine Roe, Chief of PETA's Science Advancement and Outreach group.

  • Ep. 240: Author Jim Mason On Connecting Our "Animality"

    Jim Mason, a co-author with philosopher Peter Singer on "Animal Factories," has come out with a new edition of his 1993 classic, "An Unnatural Order--Roots of Our Destruction of Nature." The book is a history of the evolution of mankind's treatment of animals and how the agrarian culture changed our relationship with animals. Instead of being among the animals, we were in control and had dominion over animals. Mason connects that thinking with racism, colonialism, and white supremacy in this conversation with Emil Guillermo.

  • Ep.238: Animal starvation among violations PETA exposes at NIH.

    Dr. Anthony Fauci is a legendary animal experimenter. But in 40 years of using monkeys, there is no HIV AIDS vaccine. So Fauci's departure could mean more modern non-animal methods of science will have a chance to co-exist among the animal abusers. PETA uncovered 17 violations of federal animal welfare guidelines at NIH in 2022 alone. That's on top of another 120 over the last three years. The violations include animals starving to death. Dr. Alka Chandna talks to Emil Guillermo about the animal suffering at NIH.

  • Ep.237: PETA's Equine Matters--Underground Horse Racing Exposed in Georgia; War to End Racing Subsidies in NY.

    A PETA undercover investigation has exposed underground horse racing in America. PETA investigators' video of Rancho Centenario near Atlanta showed horses drugged before being placed in races that attendees then wager on as entertainment. The compelling PETA video was a part of a recent Washington Post report on ongoing races in Georgia, a state where there is no racing commission, and where any racing is unsanctioned. 

    PETA Senior VP Kathy Guillermo oversees the Equine Matters Department and talks about how people can stop underground racing. She also provides updates on the department's work including the effort to stop tens of millions in taxpayer subsidies to horse racing in New York state.

    See the PETA investigators' video.

  • Ep.236: Inhumane and Unfit for Dogs: The No-Kill Travesty in Los Angeles City Animal Shelters

    No-Kill sheltering policies have turned animal shelters overcrowded and inhumane in Los Angeles. Dogs wait weeks before getting walks. Other dogs get warehoused for years and become unadoptable. And cats? Unless they're injured, cats are turned away. PETA Sr. VP Lisa Lange explains what went wrong and how the LA City Council can fix it.

  • Ep. 235: How 4,000 Beagles Were Saved from Animal Testing

    The real story behind the freeing of 4,000 beagles from animal testing supplier Envigo. All it took was one PETA undercover investigator to provide the evidence that allowed for the dogs to be set free. Dan Paden, PETA VP of Evidence Analysis talks to Emil Guillermo about how the case evolved from the state to the federal level, ultimately freeing the dogs and shutting down Envigo. Paden also talks about how you can adopt a dog.

    He also outlines how the Envigo dogs are just a fraction of all the animals subject to animal testing.  Paden says they all can be saved if PETA's idea of the  Research Modernization Act is passed.

  • Ep. 234: Stop Importing Endangered Monkeys

    Two species of monkeys in Asia are endangered, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. PETA Scientist Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel, a top primate scientist who once worked at the Washington National Primate Research Center, tells Emil Guillermo how U.S. importation of monkeys for animal testing has depleted the population. Dr. Jones-Engel says there's still time to save the two species of monkeys if the U.S. acts now.
