Animal Rising has made global headlines with its risk-taking actions including: sending hundreds of protesters to disrupt England's most famous horse race, rescuing lambs from the estate of the King of England and occupying massive dairy factories.

Miami-Dade County announced the decision, which requires the animal prison to relinquish the property to its owner by April 21, 2024. PETA's response to the news? "The world watched as the Miami Seaquarium let the lone orca Lolita waste away and die, allowed animals to eat trash in crumbling enclosures, and ignored its attending veterinarian's instructions until she finally resigned—but now the world can cheer at the news that help is finally on the way for the long-suffering animals held captive there. After more than 50 years of miserable animals and false promises to clean up its act, the Seaquarium's impending shutdown is overdue, and PETA looks to Miami-Dade County authorities to keep up the good work by ensuring that these animals are sent to reputable facilities where they'll get the care they so desperately need." We invite Miami Seaquarium on to respond. So, what will happen to the animals still at Seaquarium? And, what about SeaWorld? PETA's Amanda Brody brings us the very latest!

Dxe Co-Founder and leader of the Open Rescue Movement talks to UnchainedTV about his recent California conviction and the shocking, dropping of all felony charges against him in a 2017 Beagle Open Rescue case in Wisconsin, days before trial was set to start. You could call it a big victory for animal rights. Most people would be thrilled to avoid the possibility of 16 years in prison. But, the incredibly courageous Wayne Hsiung is not happy that he doesn't get to show the world what's happening to beagles in a court of law, arguing the real crime is animal cruelty, not rescuing. Wayne was just published in the Harvard Law Review at the same time as his law license is getting suspended due to his convictions in the Sonoma County Open Rescue trial. Joining him is noted attorney Mirais Holden. For more info, visit: https://www.directactioneverywhere.com/ and https://blog.simpleheart.org/
