(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.

Kate Werner, PETA UK campaigner talks to Emil Guillermo about the King's ban of foie gras on royal grounds, and PETA's work to stop the importation of the indelicate delicacy to England. She describes the cruelty in the production of foie gras in France.

The KIng is mum on the cruelty of the bearskin caps on his palace guards. PETA has a replacement ready, but it may take an intervention from the new prime minister.

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.

Go to PETA.org for more information.

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.

Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel, a former Fulbright scholar, and a top primate scientist who once worked at the Washington Primate Research Center, is now a PETA Scientist. She talked to Emil Guillermo about the recent federal indictments of 8 Asian nationals, including two Cambodian government officials, on alleged monkey smuggling charges and the impact that could have on the U.S. research community. If U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the Justice Department win their case, it could mean the seizure of thousands of monkeys and force labs to conduct scientific methods that are non-animal, less cruel, and more ethical.

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.

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the bacteria. But it causes a disease called melioidosis. They are the Tier 1 select agents known by the CDC to have been brought into America by the importation of monkeys from Asia.

So why isn't the public being warned of the threat? PETA has been working to expose the dangers of the U.S. science community's importation of monkeys.

Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel, a top primate scientist, now a senior science advisor to PETA, explores in this conversation with Emil Guillermo, why the government is enabling the importation of monkeys while downplaying the public threat.

PETA has used the public information act to get documents the government would rather the public not know. PETA has shared them in stories on the dangers of monkey importation with major news organizations this month.
