SEE UPDATE BELOW: Arrest made after man attacks PETA investigator

A "suicide race" is what jockeys call the sprints young horses are forced to run to get top dollar at places like the Ocala Breeders Sale in Florida. On April 10, 2024, a horse raced to its death, a jockey was hurt, and the president of the sale allegedly assaulted a PETA investigator who captured it all on video. Kathy Guillermo, PETA Sr. VP on Equine Matters describes what happened and why these dangerous race practices must end.

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.
