    Sep 18 2024
    Harambe is a true-crime documentary like no other and will have you on the edge of your seat with crucial information never before revealed. You can watch it by clicking here: https://watch.unchainedtv.com/videos/harambe-the-movie. Erik Crown, the director, is a former TMZ paparazzi who used to photograph and interview celebrities on the fly before reinventing himself and becoming an animal rights filmmaker. Harambe, a critically endangered, silverback gorilla, was shot and killed after a child entered into his enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2016. The story made international news and Harambe’s photo quickly became a viral internet sensation that sparked an important discussion on captivity. Was the gorilla actually trying to protect the child when the primate was shot? Let’s dive deep and find out with the team that made this award-winning film. Featuring Downton Abbey star Peter Egan, this movie has been hailed as the next Blackfish, revealing the dark underbelly of zoos. “The killing of Harambe was murder,” says Captain Paul Watson, star of Whale Wars and founding member of Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd. UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell speaks with Director Erik Crown and Producer Sierra Williams about this groundbreaking film. For more, or to get involved, visit: https://harambemovie.com/

  • Meet The Cat Who Escaped a U.S. Government Torture Lab

    Meet The Cat Who Escaped a U.S. Government Torture Lab
    Aug 21 2024
    In this extraordinary show, you will meet Delilah, a cat who survived hellish, taxpayer funded experiments at a USDA lab before being rescued by Anthony Bellotti, the President & Founder of White Coat Waste, whom you’ll also meet. Millions of other animals are not so lucky. Right now, about 14,000 cats and kittens are trapped in laboratories. The domestic shorthair is one of America’s most popular pets. But federal government agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the Dept. of Defense (DOD) have spent millions to buy, breed, and abuse felines in wasteful laboratory torture—and YOU, the taxpayers, pay the bill whether you approve of this government sanctioned sadism or not. But there’s hope. White Coat Waste is a bipartisan campaign to expose and close the U.S. government’s cat and animal experimentation business. WCW proclaims that, over the last 5 years, it has shut down all confirmed labs causing pain and distress to cats inside the federal government and won the first-ever federal policies to retire and release survivors as pets. Now WCW is leading the fight to end taxpayer-funded cat and kitten experimentation across the United States. WCW Founder and President Anthony Bellotti (along with Delilah) joins UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell to reveal what YOU can do to stop these wasteful experiments.

  • Will the Farm Bill Battle Decide Our Future?

    Will the Farm Bill Battle Decide Our Future?
    Aug 14 2024
    Hot enough for ya? The future of our planet could be determined by what American politicians put into the next FARM BILL, which currently gives MASSIVE subsidies to animal agriculture, to produce cheap meat and dairy. But, the meat and dairy industry is a HUGE contributor to climate change. Our government claims it’s fighting climate change while subsidizing the very industry that’s largely causing it. Will politicians vote to continue this dangerously unsustainable status quo for the next 5 years? Activists from Free From Harm continue to speak truth to power. At one so-called “listening session,” activists stood up to a pro-factory farming politician to deliver tough questions about the massive bailouts to animal agriculture, the spread of diseases like bird flu and how Big Ag Big Dollars have corrupted politics. Now, UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell speaks with those activists, including Free From Harm’s Robert Grillo and activist Natalie Fulton, and brings you the latest.

  • Stop The Monkey Business!

    Stop The Monkey Business!
    Aug 7 2024
    A group of outraged and frightened Georgia residents have united to fight a plan to put what would be America’s largest laboratory monkey-breeding facility in the small town of Bainbridge, Georgia, which is 233 miles south of Atlanta. The residents have filed a lawsuit in an attempt to stop the highly controversial plan to house 30-thousand monkeys, TWICE the human population of the town. PETA is on the ground supporting the residents. They argue that the plan should be invalidated because local officials approved the proposal during an illegally assembled meeting, violating Georgia’s Open Meetings Act. Basically, the citizens say this was being done behind their backs and they are furious over the impact on their safety and their property values. They say the presence of thousands of caged monkeys in distress, waiting to be shipped off for cruel experiments would be a constant source of anxiety and cast a pall over their close-knit community. Now, UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell gets the very latest from PETA’s Amy Meyer, Kristina Martin of Stop the Money Business Bainbridge Group and resident Linda Miller.
