Dr. John P. Gluck was honored with PETA's Trailblazing Advocacy Award in 2021 for being a shining example of ethics in science. In this conversation with Emil Guillermo, Gluck--the one-time animal experimenter--who studied with the infamous Harry Harlow, describes his own transformation from an animal experimenter to a compassionate bioethicist committed to a cruelty-free science.

Gluck's book, "Voracious Science and Vulnerable Animals" has become a guide for scientists, especially of a new generation, seeking to practice a science aligned with their ethical identity. It hasn't been easy.

Gluck admits he remains haunted by the faces of the animals he experimented on.

(Originally published April 28,  2021).

De-clawing is no manicure, it's big-cat mutilation. Yet despite general condemnation, some animal exhibits like tiger cub photo op encounters still de-claw animals. 

Now, after PETA sued a vet, Rick Pelphrey, and a show runner, Tim Stark, a breakthrough.

Last week in Indiana, a judge created a legal precedent that makes de-clawing a violation of the Endangered Species Act. 

PETA's Brittany Peet says it should have the effect of stopping declawing.

PETA veterinarian Dr. Heather Rally speaks with host Emil Guillermo about how she toured rabbit farms in China with fashion execs. What they saw was jaw-dropping cruelty to the animals who were used to source the clothing firms angora garments. The tour opened the eyes of the execs who changed their policy. But the supplier/farms continue to do business with other companies who look the other way and use the rabbits to make angora clothing.

Don't condone the cruelty. Take action now.

Listen to Dr. Rally's eyewitness account. Then see for yourselves. 

Look at the PETA Reveals video on PETA.org.

Tell companies to stop using angora. And as a consumer, use your power and don't buy angora products.

You have a choice this winter.

The animals don't.

Amber Canavan of PETA campaigns talks with host Emil Guillermo about California's Prop. 12, approved by voters on election day with more than 60 percent of the vote. But while Prop. 12 appears to set a minimum standard for space for animals in factory farms, it doesn't rule out abuse and cruelty for animals raised for food.

Canavan talks about what could have made a stronger Prop. 12 and how its minimum space provisions won't end cramped quarters for the animals.

And it doesn't end cruelty. 

You can vote every day for the animals every time you have a meal--if you go vegan.
