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.

Angela Scott was 19 when she first volunteered for Chimparty. She's the whistleblower who got the evidence that exposed the animal cruelty in the Netflix documentary, "Chimp Crazy." Scott tells Emil Guillermo about the conditions chimps lived under, how the breeding process strips mother chimps from their young. And beyond the story of Tonka, there's the sad story about Conner, the Hallmark chimp.

Scott talks about what wasn't in the show, revealing more about Mike and Connie Casey. And what she thinks of Tonia Haddix.

PETA veterinarian Dr. Heather Rally speaks with host Emil Guillermo about how she toured rabbit farms in China with fashion execs. What they saw was jaw-dropping cruelty to the animals who were used to source the clothing firms angora garments. The tour opened the eyes of the execs who changed their policy. But the supplier/farms continue to do business with other companies who look the other way and use the rabbits to make angora clothing.

Don't condone the cruelty. Take action now.

Listen to Dr. Rally's eyewitness account. Then see for yourselves. 

Look at the PETA Reveals video on PETA.org.

Tell companies to stop using angora. And as a consumer, use your power and don't buy angora products.

You have a choice this winter.

The animals don't.
