So many animals are mistreated in the name of "entertainment", how do you begin to combat the cruelty? Animal activist Janet Locke tells Charly Kayle what made her speak her truth and protest against the many abuses animals suffer in amusement parks that we never realize. They go behind the scenes at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, CA and find out why there's nothing caring OR educational about their appalling death rate. She also explains how to raise children with compassion and empathy so they respect all life.
