Ingrid Newkirk, president and co-founder of People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), in conversation with Emil Guillermo on the milestone 30th anniversary of the book, "Free The Animals: The Amazing True Story of the Animal Liberation Front In North America."

Newkirk talks about what the group was, how it wasn't PETA, and all the great things done by ordinary people who had the courage to liberate animals from laboratories and research facilities.

Newkirk said that in 30 years, animal rights issues have become the one thing that can bring our divided country together in the name of compassion for animals.

After 50 years at sea saving marine mammals, Watson's written a new book that essentially registers all the animals who are currently enslaved by amusement parks like Sea World. He talks about what's being done and how you can help, simply by not going to SeaWorld. In conversation with Emil Guillermo.

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.
