Instead, they’re producing plant-based foods that have a positive impact on them, their communities and the environment. We learn that many farmers want out of a system that keeps them in debt. They are pressured to produce chickens, pigs and cows as fast and as cheaply as possible. This is a story about Americans standing up to Big Ag and forging a new way forward. We will learn how historically Black communities in North Carolina are victimized by contaminated air and water from hog industry pollution. And, we hear how a family, that was crushed by chicken factory farming, is transitioning to growing hemp and rescuing dogs!

Another shocking new animal cruelty scandal has erupted involving milk suppliers to Fairlife, a billion-dollar milk brand owned by Coca Cola, sparking calls for a boycott. Animal Recovery Mission, ARM, has released gut-wrenching footage from 2 Arizona dairy farms supplying milk to Fairlife. A 6-month ARM investigation found “egregious and frequent” animal cruelty with animals being hit, dragged, whipped, shot, shoved, force-fed and chained at two Arizona farms. Click below to see the undercover video for yourself. Warning: It’s graphic. https://animalrecoverymission.org/operations/factory-farm-division/operation-fairlife-arizona/ Click here to view the boycott petition: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/boycott-fairlife-and-demand-an-end-to-dairy-cruelty/ This follows previous cruelty scandals involving Fairlife. One ARM video, released in 2019, involved an Indiana Fairlife dairy supplier that sparked headlines, protests and lawsuits. In 2022, Fairlife owner Coca-Cola and other parties agreed to pay $21 million to settle lawsuits for falsely advertising that their Fairlife ultra-filtered milk came from humanely treated cows. Fairlife then proclaimed that, "animal welfare is and will always be a top priority” and that it had “significantly strengthened our animal care programs and processes since 2019″ through video camera monitoring, a third-party advisory board and more unannounced audits at supplying farms. On its website, Fairlife now makes big claims about its high animal welfare standards saying, "Caring for animals is a top priority at Fairlife, and it all begins with strong relationships with supplying farms.” So, why the horrible cruelty uncovered by this latest undercover investigation? Fairlife has announced it has cut ties with the two Arizona farms where the cruelty was videotaped. But, ARM founder Richard “Kudo” Couto says that’s not enough. The Arizona Department of Agriculture is reportedly investigating as a new lawsuit is filed. Fairlife and Coca Cola are invited on any time to respond further. Now, UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell gets the inside story from ARM Founder Richard “KUDO” Couto and famed animal activist and podcaster Shannon Blair.

A pitched battle continues in a small Georgia town where residents have vowed to stop a wildly unpopular plan to house a massive monkey facility. More than 30-thousand monkeys, destined for laboratory experimentation, would be housed there and residents are up in arms. PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is on the frontlines helping residents in their quest to stop the controversial facility. Meanwhile, PETA will also bring us the latest on the fate of the 43 monkeys who escaped from a South Carolina research facility back in November of 2024. All have now been recaptured but monkey escapes are just one of the many hazards of housing primates in residential areas. Of course, in the 21st Century, there is no reason to experiment on monkeys or any other animals. So, could the massive cost-cutting currently going on at the National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of animal experimentation, signal a shift away from torturing monkeys, dogs, cats, rabbits and mice in outdated experiments? Let’s find out with our expert PETA panel. PETA’s Amy Meyer and Dr Lisa Jones-Engel join UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell.

As California reels from devastating wildfires exacerbated by climate change, another threat grows… Bird Flu. The New York Times warns that the possibility of a pandemic is “no longer remote.” At the core of these calamities? Industrialized animal agriculture, accelerating climate change and raising the risk of pandemics by exploiting animals in the food system through systemic overcrowding and cruelty. But, the destructive role of factory farming is being ignored by government and mainstream media. Now, Congress debates a new Farm Bill that will determine US government subsidies to animal agriculture for years to come. Here to discuss this web of interlocking catastrophes is Dr. Crystal Heath, the veterinarian founder of Our Honor, Free from Harm’s Robert Grillo and TheirTurn’s Donny Moss. UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell moderates.

Veganuary is here and it is arguably the most successful ongoing vegan campaign EVER! And, it’s fun! Veganuary is simply an international campaign to encourage people to try vegan during the month of January, a month where millions of us are making vows to get healthier and in better shape. The campaign began with a kitchen table discussion in late 2013, as two vegans, Matthew Glover and Jane Land, brainstormed about their passion: waking people up to the many benefits of a vegan lifestyle. It started off small in January 2014 but quickly took off, exploding into a global phenomenon that has changed the lives of millions of people! Now, UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell gets the lowdown on THIS Veganuary from Sandra Hungate, Veganuary’s U.S. Director.

Seems like the human race never learns. We just got through one massive, global pandemic that killed many millions of people. Now, fears surrounding Bird Flu are making headlines like: Experts Warn of Bird Flu Pandemic As Signals of Mutation Mount. That from ScienceAlert. SciTechDaily's headline reads: Alarming Mutation in H5N1 Virus Raises Pandemic Red Flags. The article goes on to say: "A recent study published in Science and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found that a single alteration in a protein on the surface of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus—currently present in U.S. dairy cows—could significantly increase its potential for human-to-human transmission." And, now, the USDA is going be testing cow's milk! NBC News reports: "The mandate targeting bulk milk transporters and dairy processors is meant to help identify herds that have caught the virus, which has spread among livestock." So, what happens when they find Bird Flu? They've already killed millions of exposed chickens by baking them to death in a cruel mass-killing process called Ventilation Shutdown! Are they going to bake the cows to death too? Would it be too crazy to suggest that humans should just stop torturing and killing 92 BILLION ANIMALS for food every year in dangerously cramped industrial factory farming systems? Here to discuss is Free From Harm's Robert Grillo and Amber Canavan, PETA’s Vegan Campaigns Project Manager with UnchainedTV host Jane Velez-Mitchell.
