From the majestic elephants of the savanna to the geese in our local parks, a silent conflict is unfolding. In this episode, UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell sits down with Fleur Dawes of In Defense of Animals (IDA) to discuss "The War on Wildlife"—a battle against an archaic paradigm that prioritizes human amusement over animal autonomy.

We dive deep into the heartbreaking saga of Billy and Tina, the elephants whisked away from the LA Zoo under the cover of darkness. Despite massive grassroots opposition and a pending City Council motion, they were shipped to the Tulsa Zoo—a facility on IDA’s "10 Worst Zoos" list—instead of the sanctuary they deserve.

The cruelty extends to our neighborhoods, where the "Goose Whisperer" of Surfside Beach, South Carolina, fights to protect these innocent migratory birds from intentional violence and government apathy. Join us as we explore IDA’s frontline efforts to swap exploitation for compassion. The Tulsa Zoo and Surfside Beach authorities are invited on any time to respond.
