A third dog died on March 12 at the 2024 Iditarod, the 1,000-mile race of animal cruelty held every year in Alaska.
A three-year-old male dog named Henry is the third death in three days. Two other race dogs, Bog, a two-year-old, and George, a four-year-old both died on Sunday. "The Iditarod is the shame of Alaska," said Tracy Reiman, PETA's executive vice president. "How many more dogs need to die before this stops?"
These are th...
It's an emergency situation at the animal shelters in Los Angeles, which are suffering from an overpopulation problem that, in turn, shuts out the growing number of animals that still need homes. The city's"no-kill" policy was intended to be a "feel-good" measure, but it has resulted in a lack of space in increasingly crowded shelters and animals abandoned on the street. PETA Sr.VP Lisa Lange talks to Emil Guillermo about how the s...
Cesar Chavez fought for farmworker rights, but he was also a devout animal lover and did not eat animal flesh. In honor of Cesar Chavez Day (March 31), we reprise our interview with Barbara J. King who talks about empathy toward animals. For some like Chavez it's developed over time through their dogs and animal companions, as King explains, recognizing empathy in animals is a two-way street.

...What is misothery? Akin to misogyny, author Jim Mason has coined "misothery" as the phrase describing how we "other" animals.
Mason, a co-author with philosopher Peter Singer on "Animal Factories," has written a new edition of his 1993 classic, "An Unnatural Order--Roots of Our Destruction of Nature." Mason connects our "othering" of animals with racism, colonialism, and white supremacy in this conversation with Emil Guillermo.

In this reprised episode, PETA VP Christina Matthies talks to Emil Guillermo about birds, especially domesticated ones. Most human companions aren't as knowledgeable about birds. It means the situation devolves to the point a bird rescue is needed. How best to avoid a bird rescue? Don't turn to birds to be your companion animals. Let the birds be birds. Matthies is also the Editor-in-Chief of PETA's Global Animal Times.
The question is whether horse racing can avoid horse injuries and death on the day of the Belmont, the third leg of the Triple Crown--especially after a deadly year in 2023. Kathy Guillermo, PETA Sr.VP, is the one in charge of the Equine Matters Department. She talks about why racing is cruel and often fatal.
