Last week, Oregon State Police, joined by multiple state and local agencies, completed a search of a roadside zoo in Bandon on the Southern Oregon Coast. More than 300 animals were seized and relocated to animal sanctuaries or rescue facilities. Three animals, including a camel, were euthanized because they were determined to be in such poor health they could not be transported or treated, according to OSP. The Oregon Humane Society, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife assisted OSP with the four-day search and criminal investigation, which is ongoing. The now-closed West Coast Game Park Safari opened in 1972 and lured visitors with a chance to encounter exotic animals like tigers, lions, chimpanzees and emus. Over the years, it had garnered numerous complaints from community members and organizations like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals over suspected animal neglect and possible violations of state wildlife regulations. Inspectors at the Department of Agriculture cited the roadside zoo 78 times in the past year alone for animals that had gone missing, appeared underfed or were denied adequate veterinary care, among other violations of the Animal Welfare Act. Jefferson Public Radio reporter Justin Higginbottom has been following this story and joins us with more details.

Welcome, welcome to Indieventure's second-ever episode recorded in-person! Your fabulous trio of hosts recently secluded ourselves once again in a caravan in Yorkshire and this time our resulting nonsense is even more unhinged than last year's "live" episode. What began life, several months ago, as an idea for a fairly straightforward character-led Vault episode has instead brought us here, to Indieventure's Legally Distinct 77th (you'll notice it changes a few times) Annual Indie Game Death Match Battle Royale!* Surprisingly this originally had very little to do with the fact that we're all quite into The Hunger Games and there was a new book out recently, but as you might guess it does come up. So, what's the plan? Well, quite simply, we fed 24 characters representing 24 indie games into a Hunger Games simulator and riffed on the results. I won't list all the contestants here but suffice to say if you've ever wanted to see a touching battlefield romance develop between Big Ron and Ábramar, know how Harold Halibut would emotionally reconcile himself with going on a killing spree once the red mist receded, or see if Tim the Terrible Boy will ever finally get what's coming to him, then I'm really glad that we've found an audience for the highly specific shared sense of humour we unleashed the day we recorded this. The winner has the honour of having their game crowned the best indie game of all time, unless we don't like the outcome, in which case they just get bragging rights. As a disclaimer, I just want to make it very clear that we're all highly media literate individuals who did actually read/watch and understand the point of The Hunger Games, but we also just love a bit that goes on far too long. If you want to sink to our level and try out this ridiculous concept for yourself – maybe at your next dinner party! – we used the BrantSteele Hunger Games Simulator, which also has a bunch of other franchises pre-programmed as well as letting you write in your own characters. We may have realised halfway through that we've slightly uncomfortably aligned ourselves with the Capitol in this episode, but you know what, that only makes it even more appropriate that we end like it was any other regular week, ignoring the screams while we talk about our latest batch of hyperfixations. Rachel has been playing Promise Mascot Agency; Rebecca recently had a video game themed weekend seeing the Until Dawn movie (bad) and attending an Animal Crossing: New Horizons event at a Sea Life Centre (good); and Liam has been reading Intermezzo by Sally Rooney and Saltwater by Jessica Andrews, the latter of whom turned out to have been in his English class at school! Small world. * No indie game characters were hurt in the making of this episode. All involvement of indie game characters was overseen by the Indieventure Association for the Ethical Treatment and Enthusiastic Promotion of Indie Game Protagonists (Except for Tim the Terrible Boy) Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury!

BERNADETTE TALKS WITH INGRID NEWKIRK ABOUT PETA's CONTINUED QUEST TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF ANIMALS FOR THE BETTER Ingrid Newkirk is the president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal liberation organization in the world, and PETA entities have more than 9 million members and supporters globally. Ingrid has authored 13 books and been profiled by The New Yorker, the Los Angeles Times, and Fortune, which dubbed her the “Mother Teresa of rabbits.” She was also the subject of HBO's award-winning documentary I Am an Animal and was named one of Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women. PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview, and focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade, and the entertainment business.

Professor Jon Jureidini is a child psychiatrist who leads the Critical and Ethical Mental Health research group at Adelaide University in Australia. His forensic deconstruction of industry-sponsored clinical trials has exposed how pharmaceutical companies manipulate data, employ ghostwriters, and cultivate academic figureheads to create an illusion of scientific consensus around their products. Prof. Jureidini has revealed how medications prescribed to our most vulnerable populations—children and adolescents—gained approval based on studies that were fundamentally misrepresented in the scientific literature. In his groundbreaking book, 'The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research,' co-authored with Leemon McHenry, he systematically demonstrates how commercial interests have hijacked the evidence base that clinicians rely on, compromising patient care in the process. His work raises profound questions about the integrity of published research and challenges us to reconsider the foundations of modern medicine. Jureidini reveals shocking findings about the landmark 'Treatment of Adolescent Depression Study (TADS) study that's been used to justify prescribing antidepressants to teenagers—despite evidence showing a five-fold increase in suicidal events. With nearly 20% of adolescent girls now taking SSRIs, this conversation exposes the profit-driven deception that puts millions of developing brains at risk while pharmaceutical companies continue to thrive on what Jureidini calls "the illusion of evidence-based medicineChapters00:00 Introduction to the Crisis in Psychiatry02:20 The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine04:34 The TADS Study: A Closer Look10:47 Evaluating the TADS Study's Findings14:22 The Ethics of Informed Consent26:28 Risks and Alternatives in Treatment32:59 The Controversy of Antidepressant Prescriptions35:46 Ethical Concerns in Pharmaceutical Practices40:29 The Impact of Clinical Trials on Drug Approval47:08 Challenges in Psychiatric Research and Publication50:29 Restoring Trust in Scientific Integrity58:20 A Shift Towards Social Determinants of Mental Health RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

What the hell is up? Long time no see... I am back with season two of Jamie's Corner and what better way to kick it off than with the fierce animal activist Ashley Byrne. Ashley went vegan 29 years ago and has worked at PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) for 17 years. She is the director of outreach and has created so much impact for the animals over the years. In this episode we're unpacking everything from animal rights victories to some setbacks we've faced, the recent Starbucks campaign, the atrocious women's milk marathon, plus swapping some wild (and seriously horrifying) dating stories. Expect raw honesty, a whole lot of laughs, and of course, the activism talk you love.
How and when will we transition to a clean energy future? How have wetlands become both crucial carbon sinks and colossal methane emitters in a warming world? What lessons can we learn from non-human animals about living in greater harmony with nature?Richard Black (Author of The Future of Energy · Fmr. BBC Environment Correspondent · Director of Policy & Strategy · Global Clean Energy Thinktank · Ember) addresses the substantial economic impact of fossil fuel subsidies, noting that the actual costs, when including climate change damages, reach up to six or seven trillion dollars annually, overshadowing the relatively small climate finance provided by Western governments.Euan Nisbet (Earth Systems Scientist · Royal Holloway University of London) explores the role of methane in the atmosphere, its historical importance in maintaining the planet's temperature, and its current contribution to global warming. He explains the sources of methane, including natural processes and human activities, and discusses recent trends and challenges tied to rising methane levels.Julie Pierce (Vice President of Strategy & Planning · Minnesota Power) highlights her company's significant strides in sustainability.

In this episode of The Standard of Care podcast, hosts Samantha Johnson and Nick Adams delve into the complex legal framework of patient consent in EMS. What happens when a patient refuses care, even in life-threatening situations? How should EMS professionals navigate the fine line between consent, implied consent, and refusal, all while staying within the legal boundaries? Samantha quizzes Nick on real-world scenarios, offering practical insights on handling refusals, informed consent, and what EMS providers need to know about patient capacity.Whether you're a seasoned paramedic, new to the field, or just brushing up for the National Registry exam, this episode offers valuable knowledge on critical issues you may face. Get actionable advice, hear relatable examples, and understand the nuances that could impact your next decision. Tune in now to explore this important topic—and remember, you can find The Standard of Care wherever you listen to podcasts or on our website at flightbridgeed.com/explore. While you're there, check out our award-winning courses designed to enhance your professional skills and knowledge.Key Takeaways:Understanding patient capacity is critical in determining whether you can proceed with care, even if consent is initially given. If a patient has capacity, their refusal must be respected, even in life-threatening situations.Implied consent allows EMS providers to intervene in emergencies when a patient is unconscious or unable to give explicit consent, but only within the necessary scope of care.Informed refusals are equally important as informed consent. EMS professionals must ensure patients fully understand the risks of refusing care and document everything thoroughly.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has called for the Western Bulldogs to change their name and mascot to recognise the health issues with the bulldog breed by renaming the club the 'Western Mutts'. Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell understands the intentions behind the push, but doesn't think it's the "right approach".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Stephen Sackur speaks to Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). For five decades she has led the campaign to end human exploitation and abuse of animals. From food to fashion, to testing in laboratories, are we humans really capable of going animal-free?
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals founder Ingrid Newkirk has been badgering meat-eaters, fur-wearers, and circus-goers for more than 40 years. For a woman who's leaving her liver to the president of France in her will, she sounds quite sensible when she tells Steve what we can learn from animals, why she supports euthanasia, and who'll get her other organs.

In 1980, Ingrid Newkirk co-founded People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), revolutionizing the animal rights movement. As PETA's president, she has led the organization to become the world's largest animal rights group, known for its groundbreaking campaigns and significant societal changes. Under her leadership, PETA has conducted undercover investigations, organized high-profile protests, and engaged in corporate negotiations and legislative efforts, saving countless animals' lives. Ingrid returns to our show to discuss her legacy, the challenges she's faced, the victories she's achieved, and her vision for the future. We'll explore how her tireless advocacy has elevated global standards for compassion and humane practices. Additionally, she will share actionable steps listeners can take, both big and small, to make a meaningful impact in the fight for animal rights. “Yes, it's a bit shocking to realize that that lovely hamburger with, you know, maybe the dancing cow on the label, didn't come from anything nice at all. It came from privation and misery. So, we showed the truth. But what I would say is, what's truly shocking, what's truly extreme, what's horrifying, is what actually happens to animals. And that is what we have an obligation to keep saying to people, have a look, have a look, act as if you care, because I think you think that you're a kind person, a decent individual. You would teach your children the golden rule of do unto others as you would have them do unto you. So let's act that way. Let's not just say we care. Let's actually care. It's not really hard. So here's what you need to do.” - Ingrid Newkirk What we discuss in this episode: - Changes in the world since PETA's inception. - PETA's successful tactics and numerous victories. - Why animal testing is not only cruel but also yields unreliable results. - The CARGO Act. - Inherent flaws in the no-kill movement. - The truth about the wool and down feather industries. - Cruelty in the production of coconut products from Thailand, and what you can do to fight against it. - Current PETA campaigns and how you can get involved.

For many years now, medical schools around the country have ceased using live animals to perform procedures as part of the curriculum. But in a minority of surgical residencies, residents operate on animals – often pigs – to practice techniques to be used on human patients. Oregon Health & Science University is in that minority. For years, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has been waging a campaign to get OHSU’s OB/GYN residency program to stop using pigs for doctors in training to practice reproductive surgeries on. At the same time, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is asking the hospital to stop using the animals in all of its surgical residencies in all branches of the hospital. OHSU declined to participate in this conversation, but Dr. Kerry Foley, a retired emergency medical doctor who volunteers for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, joins us to share her views on best practices for surgical training and why those do not include using animals.
“You asked what kind of army we are. Cleveland Amory once said it. He said, “the army of the kind.” And that's it. If there's anything going on, we find it irresistible not to speak out, to do something, to say something, to enlist other people to help because we're not some superhuman force, we're a collection of humans.” Ingrid Newkirk Ingrid Newkirk co-founded People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in 1980, and since then, I don't think there has been a single day that she has not fought against injustice toward animals. She is not only a hero for millions of animals but also for humans, for showing all of us how to make change happen and for inspiring us to do it. Since it was founded, PETA has exposed horrific animal abuse in laboratories, leading to many firsts, including canceled funding, closed facilities, seizure of animals, and charges filed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. PETA has also closed the largest horse-slaughter operation in North America, convinced dozens of major designers and hundreds of companies to stop using fur, ended all car-crash tests on animals, helped schools switch to innovative animal-free dissection tools, and provided millions of people with information on being vegan, companion animal care, and countless other issues. Ingrid just celebrated her 75th birthday, so we got together to take a look back at her life and the life of PETA. Happy Birthday, Ingrid!
HOW DO YOU ALL DO BOOKSHELVERS!? Another fortnight has passed and that means another sparkling new episode of Barks from the Bookshelf is here to tickle your, dog nerd, ear buds into joyus submission. This week is a WHOPPER of an episode BUT it's a whopper for a very good reason! This week We are thrilled to interview the wonderful force of nature that is Linda Michaels, M.A., Psychology about her book The Do No Harm Dog Training & Behaviour Handbook. As many of you already know, Linda will be crossing the Atlantic and speaking at the DOGx 2024 conference this October. You'll get a glimpse into the “force of nature” that is Linda Michaels during this interview as we discuss her origins, the decisions and processes that led to the book itself, the development of the Hierarchy of Dog Needs, activism and some, good old psychology as well. We also get a taster of what's to come at DOGx. There really isn't enough words to describe Linda's role in moving the dog training and behaviour world forward so you'll just have to listen. On top of all that Corrin, Nat and Steve talk through the book and answer your Bookshelver questions in their own rambling style. Linda Facts:Linda Michaels, M.A., Psychology, author of the ground-breaking, best-seller, The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behaviour Handbook— Featuring the Hierarchy of Dog Needs pioneers the “First, Do No Harm” ethics approach in dog training. With an advanced degree in psychology and animal behaviour, research conducted in behavioural neurobiology, and five years of shelter and rescue experience, Linda's work bridges a gap between science, dog trainers, and pet parents with hands-on skills with dogs, wolfdogs, and the famed Belyaev foxes. Linda tells us, “My shelter experience working with the most difficult behavioural cases helped lay the foundation for all of the work I do today in animal care and training, protecting both the physical and the emotional well-being of the heartbeats at our feet.”Linda is considered one of the modern-era, trailblazing experts and influencers in canine behaviour consulting and animal welfare advocacy. Her internationally acclaimed Hierarchy of Dog Need teaching tool, now translated into 14 languages, is endorsed by canine scientists and ethologists as well as trainers, new and seasoned, and is available FREE. The Hierarchy of Dog Needs offers a clear, dog-centric alternative to the outdated, teaching paradigms widely used today.The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behaviour Handbook combines compassion with science in an easy-to-follow roadmap to success, providing answers to common and complex dog behaviour problems. Illustrating the most effective methods endorsed by the greatest minds in dog training and behaviour, dog lovers are taken on a journey to understanding and meeting their dog's needs. The first section of The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behaviour Handbook is devoted to detailing each item on the Hierarchy of Dog Needs. By addressing needs first, pet parents and trainers often find that many behaviour problems may all but disappear. The meticulously researched handbook tackles the most challenging issues faced by dog lovers and pet professionals, including: nutrition, veterinary and grooming visits, basic training skills, aggression, and separation anxiety. With a foreword by Dr. Marc Bekoff, co-founder with Jane Goodall of the Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the handbook is scientifically supported with 18 pages of scholarly journal citations and a detailed index.You may find Linda in international trade magazines, and as a featured expert in Psychology Today online, Newsweek online, Huffington Post Live, Wolf Dog Radio, as an APBC, Dog-Centered Care, Barking Up the Right Tree International Festival for Reactive Dogs, KIENO Summit, Puppy Blueprint, Dog Wisdom webinar presenter, and speaker at the inaugural Pet Professional Guild Summit on “Understanding Research—Making the Case for Force-free Dog Training.”Linda founded the wildly popular Do No Harm Dog Training Facebook group where you can easily find her, and recently launched the DoNoHarmDogTraining.com swag store.Links:Amazon Link to purchase The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behavior Handbook:https://www.amazon.com/dp/1732253706?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_6R09BF50YG2ZBDZPKCHB&language=en-USThe Do No Harm Website & Store:https://www.donoharmdogtraining.com/DOGx Tickets:https://www.pact-dogs.com/dogx2024Subscribe to receive a weekly PACT Lunch:https://www.pact-dogs.com/
PETA's founder and leader Ingrid Newkirk is celebrating her 75th birthday! And, UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell is thrilled and honored to get to speak with Ingrid for the hour! Learn about Ingrid's fascinating life, growing up in India and then, somehow, becoming an animal protection officer in the United States. How much progress has been achieved since People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was started back in 1980? A lot! As PETA points out, “At that time, researchers were experimenting on chimpanzees in squalid laboratories, pigs were being slammed into walls in car-crash tests, and dogs were being shot in military exercises. But PETA's landmark victories for animals, including the first-ever police raid on a laboratory and convictions for cruelty to animals in the meat industry—as well as the media attention that has accompanied them—have led to a huge change in public attitudes, and the victories keep coming. “These days, the demand for vegan food has skyrocketed, Ringling Bros. has reinvented itself as a stunning animal-free circus, nearly every major fashion brand has gone fur-free, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is no longer required to mandate archaic and cruel animal tests for new drugs. PETA's work continues, with campaigns that include calling on fashion houses to stop selling reptile skins, pushing for lifesaving reforms in the horse racing industry, and fighting the monkey-to-laboratory pipeline. Now, Ingrid would like you to celebrate her birthday by going to https://www.peta.org/75 and seeing the 75 easy ways you can speak up for animals!
Episode 516: Ingrid Newkirk Round 2 Co-founder, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals; Advisory Board member, EarthSave International; Advisory Board member, United Poultry Concerns; Director, The Foundation to Support Animal Protection; animal rights activistIngrid Newkirk isn't just the President of PETA, she's also a militant activist. She's soaked herself in fake blood, of course, but she's also been arrested more than 20 times. And she's an avowed supporter of the terrorist Animal Liberation Front. Newkirk wrote a book called Free the Animals! The Untold Story of the U.S. Animal Liberation Front and Its Founder, ‘Valerie.' In it she writes that she has “become somewhat used to jumping on a plane with copies of freshly purloined documents and hurriedly calling news conferences to discuss the ALF's findings.” In 1993, Newkirk arranged an interview for TIME magazine with “Valerie.” Later, the animal-rights movement would be abuzz with speculations that Valerie was just one of Newkirk's PETA employees. The entire episode has suggested what many federal law enforcement officers have openly speculated: that ALF and PETA may be populated with identical personnel, the only difference being a setting sun and a ski mask. Newkirk gives interviews to ALF's publications, supports the legal defense efforts of ALF criminals (with PETA's money), has been subpoenaed in regard to her ALF connections, and has even been accused in court documents of participation in the ALF arson of a Michigan State University research lab. In the 1970s, Newkirk worked for Montgomery County (Maryland), and then for the District of Columbia, as an animal protection officer and deputy sheriff, before becoming DC's first female poundmaster in 1978. She co-founded PETA in 1980 with established animal rights activist Alex Pacheco. Since then, PETA and Newkirk have become synonymous. Former employees refer to PETA as “the cult of Newkirk.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michaeldecon/support

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals v. Lawrence Tabak
Defender Radio: The Podcast for Wildlife Advocates and Animal Lovers
Making an emotional connection to a non-human animal is a defining moment in many peoples' lives. It could be the family dog, a squirrel who hops past a window every day, or a black bear known to meander through a local forest. It's that connection that can help people understand the depth of non-human animal emotion and make changes in how they view the world around them. Dr. Marc Bekoff knows a thing or two about this connection – and has revisited a classic publication to show how far science and society have come in understanding animal emotions. Dr. Bekoff is a celebrated ethologist, best-selling author, professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, and along with Dr. Jane Goodall, a co-founder of Ethical Treatment of Animals: Citizens for Responsible Animal Behavior Studies. His popular book, The Emotional Lives of Animals, was originally published in 2007 to great response. Seventeen years later, Dr. Bekoff has updated and revised the book with new studies, anecdotes, an updated foreword from Dr. Jane Goodall, and more. Dr. Bekoff joins Defender Radio to share what he's most excited about in the newly revised book, if recognition of animal sentience is the finish line for advocates, and where he sees hope for the future.

Add carousel horses to the list of many things that PETA is faux outraged over. You heard us correctly... carousel horses. Because horses have feelings too. ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Audio Edition: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 ➡️ Gaming News: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A7VIqE3r5MQkFgL9nifNc Additional Context: In a move that seems ripped straight from the pages of "You Can't Make This Up," PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has trotted out its latest cause for concern: carousel horses. Yes, you read that correctly. The organization, notorious for its headline-grabbing stances on animal rights, is now taking a stand against the inanimate equines that have delighted children and adults alike for generations. PETA's beef with these merry-go-round mounts? It's all about the message they convey. According to the animal rights group, carousels featuring animal figures, particularly horses, unwittingly glorify the exploitation of sentient beings. This perspective was shared by the Dutch arm of PETA, which backed its U.S. counterpart's call to action against such fairground attractions, suggesting that these seemingly innocent rides may inadvertently celebrate the domination of conscious creatures. The focus of PETA's carousel critique is Chance Rides, a Kansas-based amusement ride manufacturer recognized as the largest in the United States. The organization has urged the company to cease the production and sale of animal-themed carousels, arguing that these attractions symbolize the exploitation of sentient beings. This push is part of PETA's broader mission to protect not only living animals but also to challenge the societal norms and practices that, in their view, demean or degrade animal life, regardless of whether the animals in question are real or fabricated. While it might be tempting to dismiss PETA's latest campaign as tilting at windmills—or in this case, carousels—the organization's actions underscore its commitment to advocating for animal rights in all forms, even when it comes to the synthetic and stationary. As PETA sets its sights on these traditional amusement rides, the debate it sparks may encourage a broader conversation on how animals, real or otherwise, are represented and revered in our culture. Whether this carousel controversy will lead to any real change in the design and operation of merry-go-rounds remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear: PETA's knack for generating discussion on animal rights issues, no matter how unconventional, continues to spin as reliably as the carousels it now critiques.

We had Bolsheviks in my family. The brothers Wołodźko. I remembered the story when I saw progressives in the West celebrating Hamas's atrocities on October 7. How could thinking people persuade themselves they were fighting oppression by justifying the rape and mutilation of 1,400 innocent Jews? How could they give full-throated support to those that would see them raped, enslaved, or beheaded? These are the kind of people, Christopher Hitchens once wrote, who would find a viper in their child's bed and place the first call to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. But he was writing decades ago. The problem now is far worse. This is a public episode.

Our guest today, Kathy Guillermo, is the Senior Vice President of PETA, and throughout her impressive 30-year career, she's exposed cruelty to animals in laboratories, the horse racing industry, and major corporations. Some of her many victories include persuading Gillette and Estée Lauder to permanently ban animal testing, getting NASA to call off radiation experiments on monkeys, and pressuring the Coast Guard to stop using goats and pigs for trauma training. Kathy also wrote the book Monkey Business: The Disturbing Case That Launched the Animal Rights Movement, which details the landmark Silver Springs Monkey cruelty case that led to the first conviction of an animal experimenter on cruelty-to-animals charges. Tune in to this special episode to hear about the important work PETA continues to do and learn how we can all take steps to effect change! “95% of new drugs that appear effective and safe when they're tested on animals fail in human clinical trials. We have a 95% failure rate in the development of drugs. And when you look at specific disease areas, you see it's even higher. You look at neurodegenerative diseases, for example, it's like 99% failure. The utter failure of drugs for Alzheimer's and stroke, for a whole host of issues, is not working. So the idea that somehow science will come grinding to a halt is a false narrative put out by people who make their living experimenting on animals and by the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. funding agency that pays for more animal experiments than any other agency in the entire world. So you've got an endeavor animal testing that fails 90% of the time, but it gets half of the research budget of the National Institutes of Health. It's utterly ridiculous.” – Kathy Guillermo What we discuss in this episode: The transformative power of connecting with animals. Inside PETA's fight with the barbaric horse racing industry. How you can be certain the products you buy are cruelty-free. Why testing on animals doesn't actually work. Proven alternatives to animal testing. How PETA was able to stop trauma training drills with live animals in the Coast Guard. What you can do to help animals.

This episode we talk with PETA's Klayton Rutherford, Manager of Research and Content for Captive Animal Law Enforcement. We talk plainly about PETA's position against hunters and the killing of animals.
Rachel Bellis, Associate Director of Local Affairs for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals talks with Michelle about how to keep your pet safe in the heat. Many people have no idea of the danger that high temperatures pose for dogs, not realizing that dogs' skin does not allow them to cool themselves through perspiration as humans can, often have a fur coat that traps heat, and can only pant to try to expel hot air build-up inside them. The danger is extreme in the case of French and Boston bulldogs, pugs, and other breathing-impaired dogs who have shortened noses and shortened windpipes. Older dogs are also particularly susceptible to heat stroke that can kill them. Every day PETA receives reports about dogs, cats, and other animals who have suffered and died of heat-related causes after being left outside or confined to a vehicle, which can become a death trap within minutes for any animal locked inside—even in the shade with the windows cracked. And even just walking a dog on hot pavement can cause permanent injury to their paws. Hiroshi Sakai is the CEO of NTT Sonority, a subsidiary of Japanese telecom behemoth, NTT. NTT has been quietly working on a technology that may become as ubiquitous as sound itself: Personalized Sound Zones (PSZ). With this technology in its embryonic stages, we seek to deliver a sonic embrace to the United States and then, the world: To share the vision of a more-connected society with present and future generations. Michelle talks with Mr. Sakai about how their new headphones can be used while multitasking.
Welcome to Wednesday. Once we get past the news that inflation is down, the economy is buzzing, yet another interest hike is on the way and I challenge you to look at the rates you're paying on credit cards, we'll turn our attention to the animals. I am an animal lover. You may know I spent every weekend for over a year leading up to the start of Covid volunteering at the Broward County animal shelter, working to help dogs find their new forever humans. I think dogs are better than humans in every way possible. I've always been interested in PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, an organization that's fought for animal rights and safety throughout its decades-long history of activism. Today, I'm joined by PETA President and founder Ingrid Newkirk who just updated her plan to continue her activism for animals after her death. It's as creative as anything PETA has done in the past (and they've done some outlandish things to bring attention to the issue over the years).
