    Unleashed - Episode 86 Struggling for Every Breath: The Crisis Facing Flat-Faced Dogs
    Dec 16 2025
    In this eye-opening episode of Unleashed with Cheryl Kaye, we examine how breeding dogs for extreme physical appearances has crossed a dangerous line—leaving many beloved breeds struggling simply to breathe. Joined by PETA’s Jakob Shaw, manager of strategic initiatives, the conversation exposes the hidden suffering behind flat-faced “designer” dogs like French and English bulldogs, pugs, and Boston terriers. Shaw explains why panting, snorting, and wheezing are not “cute,” but signs of serious distress caused by distorted airways, chronic pain, heat intolerance, and dramatically shortened lifespans. Together, they explore why aesthetic preferences continue to trump animal welfare, what health risks breathing-impaired dogs face daily, and how guardians of these dogs can reduce suffering. The episode also highlights the broader solution—ending the breeding and sale of these dogs and embracing adoption—to ensure a healthier, more humane future for dogs of every shape and size.

    Unleashed - Episode 84 Detour Ahead: The Dark Side of Roadside Zoos
    Aug 2 2025
    This week on Unleashed, Cheryl Kaye welcomes Meghan Tiemann, Captive Wildlife Specialist with the PETA Foundation, to uncover the harsh truths behind America’s roadside animal “attractions.” As families gear up for summer road trips, Meghan explains why some so-called “rescues” and “sanctuaries” are anything but. From tiger cub selfies to rundown petting zoos, many of these facilities are little more than tourist traps where animals are confined, neglected, and exploited for profit. Meghan shares the shocking realities she’s witnessed in the field, success stories of animal rescues, and how you can spot a true sanctuary from a scam. If you care about animals and ethical travel, this is a must-hear episode! Learn how to enjoy an animal-friendly summer and help push for a future where all animals are free to roam, not be put on display.
