Mission: Some Dogs Are Chained 24/7—This Doc Shows Their Rescue Stories

Need a good cry (happy tears included)? Breaking the Chain, a doc following PETA’s Community Animal Project as they respond to calls for help, is available for FREE on YouTube—and you can earn 250 peta2 points from our Rewards Program just by watching! 🐾

So, who are these responders helping? There’s Zena, a bone-thin German shepherd who spent years chained in a backyard, tormented by flies, fleas, and mosquitoes. There’s Edith, a gentle chow mix who was trapped outdoors for nearly a decade. And there are so many other animals who were left to suffer in the blazing heat or freezing cold without food, water, or companionship. 😢

For dogs like Zena, a life sentence of isolation and deprivation—without companionship or even basic necessities like water in the heat of summer and shelter from winter storms—is a fate worse than death. Many of these animals’ only hope is the dedicated PETA field team, which combats the national epidemic of neglect and the companion animal overpopulation crisis.

If you didn’t realize things were this bad, don’t take it hard—it’s so rarely talked about. That’s why this doc is a must-watch. 👀 You’ll meet animals caught up in the crisis, see how fieldworkers save them, and learn what you can do to help. The glow-up rescue stories in the doc are proof that we should never stop pushing!
