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.
