Injected with drugs used as test subjects discarded like trash.

Tonight, disturbing, and I mean disturbing allegations out of Skid Row,

raise a chilling question are dogs and cats being exposed to drugs on purpose

to see if those drugs are safe for humans,

or is this all just a tragic pie product of a crisis completely out of control?

What the hell is going on in Los Angeles, especially on Skid Row?

Welcome to the global phenomenon, surviving the survivor, where we bring you the best guests

in awe of true crime.

Here's your host, Emmy Award winning journalist Joel Walton.

What's up, St.S. Nation, welcome to Surviving the Survivor.

This is the global phenomenon.

More than 50 countries represented bringing you the very best guests in all of true crime.

And tonight, we're doing something a little bit different, mixing two worlds that usually don't collide, true crime and our love of animals.

And we all know, look, I'm wearing Fred and Ethel on my head right now.

A lot of animal lovers at STS Nation. But what's happening now in parts of Los Angeles,

especially on Skid Row, is beyond deeply disturbing. And a lot of people said, hey, I can't

watch this show today because it bothers me so much and I agree with you um I don't know

how to say this politely but I guess I'd rather see bad things happen to people than than animals

innocent animals but you know shouldn't be happening to anybody but this is tough to talk about

uh we're not going to be showing really a lot of video at all, just some stills because it can get really jarring.

But we are talking about dogs allegedly injected with drugs.

And we have people here that have witnessed some of this.
