The harsh reality youre about to see may have you reexamining your own memories of the circus. To peru for the nightline series off the map. You come into peru with your wild animal acts, adi is going to come and get them. Reporter Animal Defenders International is in the middle of a government crackdown. Theyre trying to keep these animals hidden. They select the small towns. The advantage of that is that the authorities wont notice theyre there. Reporter working with authorities in peru to enforce a new law banning wild animal acs in circuses. They should be arrested today if they have the animals . Yes. Reporter we were given exclusive access to the final days of this operation where they faceoff against circus owners desperate to hold on to their biggest stars. For tim philips and jan kramer, the husband and Wife Team Behind adi, this seizure operation is the latest front in the Global Campaign to end animal suffering. Theres a routine and casual violence towards animals in circuses to keep them subjugated, keep them in their place. Reporter undercover investigations documenting horrific abuses forced government to implement new laws. These animals are living in deplorable conditions. People have said enough is enough. Reporter wild animal acts are now illegal in peru. Joining seven other countries in latin america with bans. Latin america is way ahead of the u. S. In terms of ending the use of animals in traveling circuses. We know the animals are performing. The authorities know theyre performing. Reporter actually enforcing the law is a whole different challenge. Weve had them under surveillance now for ten days almost. Just watching. This circus started up a few years ago with six tigers. Now only one left . One is left. Thats the one that youre trying to rescue . Yeah. Reporter they have no idea what condition the remaining tiger is in. Just a block that way. It needs to be a complete surprise. Reporter the authorities have given the green light to move in. Everythings set . Yep. Were on. Reporter looks very thin. Really, really thin. They dont like the cameras but they said this one can be here. I dont know what has upset them. But its a very sort of tense atmosphere. Were going to help you, were not going to help you. Theres what seems to be a family there or owns or works with the animals and theyre visibly distraught, crying. Reporter the family tells me the tiger is not just an attraction. Where jan sees a malnourished tiger, they see a family pet. They say they love the animal but they cant its stressful and difficult for it. Its almost a power struggle. Right now they want to release it but they want to release it on their own terms. Weve never had to threaten an animal. Dont hit him. Keep it low, keep it low. Come on. We understand it is difficult. Frustrating and trying day. But water driving awe ing ing a tiger. And thats really the only thing that matters. Reporter but theyre not always successful. During an earlier operation, they were forced to leave behind a lion named smith. Days later, back in the center ring, he attacked a volunteer from the audience. And all of it was broadcast on panamerica tv. I can vividly remember turning to jan and saying, smith signed his own death warrant. Reporter now they rush back. And this time the circus agrees to release the big cat. Hello, baby boy. So this is the lion that attacked the woman . Yeah. But hes got such a lovely nature. Since hes been here, loves playing football, loves attention. Hes just really friendly. Reporter smith and all the other animals are brought to this temporary compound where they get firstclass medical treatment and some muchneeded play time. About as much as we can do. We give them footballs and toys, try and keep them exercises. Try and get the guys to play with them now and again. Heres hoover. The tiger. Hes loving this bed. [ roaring ] you hear this . Suddenly its all come alive. Theyre all communicating with each other. I love these old lions that are like warriors. Theyre sort of indestructible. You can see the scars. Scarring on his face. Yeah. Its a map of his life, his face. Reporter altogether, nearly 70 animals here. And many carry scars that cant be seen. Theyve actually broken his teeth right off. To stop him biting. Such a vicious thing to do. Horrible thing, look at that. Wired on. The whole of his life. Probably on all his life. Thats the last time, pepe. Hes been here eight months now. Just a lovely, friendly little monk monkey. He adores jan. I think he likes blonds. Hell come really close and press noses. He likes to press noses, its very sweet. Reporter after bonding for months, jan will have to say goodbye soon. The monkeys will be taken to a sanctuary deep in perus rain forest and the big cats to a reserve in south africa. Having seized animals from more than a dozen circuses here, their mission is almost complete. But then they receive some urgent news. A lost circus. One that vanished into the remote northern desert, its located. Its secretive, we havent been able to get a camera inside. Reporter will this key giant holdout threaten adis entire operation . Things are started to get heated. Reporter a standoff when nightline returns. Except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. And when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. After a dvt blood clot. Mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Plan to reduce the use of antibiotics over the next few years. But what are you having for dinner tonight . Try perdue® simply smart and harvestland®. Two trusted perdue brands of chicken raised with no antibiotics ever. Hey let me help with that. Oh, thank you introducing the oneandonly Volkswagen Golf sportwagen. The sportier utility vehicle. Its gotten squarer. Over the years. Brighter. Bigger. Its gotten thinner. Even curvier. But whats next . For all binge watchers. Movie geeks. Sports freaks. X1 from xfinity will change the way you experience tv. Were back tonight. In the midst of a sir does rescue mission. An intense standoff about to get under way. Even in countries where its illegal to use wild animals, enforcing the law is another matter. Here again is abcs mariannmari we need to go as soon as possible. Reporter tim philips and jan kreamer are tracking the last defiant circus holding animals illegally in peru. Wed seen it once before and it just disappeared. Reporter it has just been spotted in the arid outskirts of sulana. Its a center for wildlife trafficking in peru. Drug trafficking too. Reporter so remote, so far from the reaches of government, they dont know what resistance they might face. You dont have a lot of police support. No. How Many Police Officers . Were getting two today. The stakes are high for the animals. This is their chance for freedom. They wont get another one. Theres circus trucks. The big top is down. They started breaking down. Reporter immediately tim spots animals. A condor. A puma. Clear violations of the new law. Reporter with a life built around the circus and a mistrust of the government, the owners, the valderrama family, fight back. They see this seizure as injustice. Theyre tense, angry, saying the authorities are coming here and just picking up the animals and are probably going to sell them at a zoo in lima. Theyre just trying to make a living, theyre saying. Theyve asked us to surrender the animals. Reporter the family insists theyve never done wrong by their animals. Reporter the confrontation attracts a crowd. The standoff escalates. Theyve barricaded the Mountain Lion inside the truck with all these tools from the circus around it. Police and wildlife authorities are outmanned. Very intimidating. Reporter adi may have to leave emptyhanded. This is just running away from us. Reporter hours later, the enforcements arrive. A bit like the cavalry coming. I suddenly look up, theres a little truck coming and its full of riot police. They all jump out. Reporter in charge, a local prosecutor sent to uphold the law. Things are starting to get heated. Now the daughter whos pregnant has sat on the truck and shes saying, you have to get over me. Theyve been negotiating about an hour now. Reporter with the possibility of arrest and imprisonment becoming all too real, angry defiance slowly fades. Theyve just completely changed their mind and agree theyre releasing all the animals. Reporter replaced by sadness as the family says their final goodbyes. They felt like this animal was part of their family, almost. Do you feel empathy for these families . I think the empathy i feel for them is that theyre losing something theyre fond of. But i feel more sorry for the animals. The animals are the ones who are the real victims. Reporter but theres no time to rest. The next night, back at the compound, they have just three short hours to prepare the monkeys for travel to their new home. Could you open the door . Reporter a rain forest sanctuary. We need to sedate the monkeys and leave by 6 00 a. M. Reporter its a huge undertaking. Drugging, capturing, and crating 40 animals. I really mate to see pepe vulnerable like this. But its the least stressful way to get him into his travel crate. Dont worry, baby boy. There. All right, brother. All right, brother. Reporter the government has donated space aboard a military cargo flight. Its scheduled to leave with or without adi at 10 00 a. M. Were running out 30 minutes late now. Were starting to get into a dangerous zone. These havent been tied down get everything in, were going to miss our night just got to get these loaded up and get out of here. Ive just spoken to the loadmaster of the aircraft. Were going to be okay. Were going to catch the aircraft. Reporter their destination, the remote jungle city of iquitos. Only accessible by plane and by boat. This will be the first time weve seen it with absolutely everything in it. Reporter with this return to the jungle, its not a return to the wild. The dream would be to put these animals back in the wild. But you cant do that. Theyve had torn from them the ability to cope in the wild. Thats why we were so pleased to come up here and be able to enclose their own little bit of amazon forest. The sense of wonder that you see on their faces, you can only describe it as they are just amazed. Freedom. Almost freedom. Kind of bittersweet. Obviously we love them. But we have to let them go. And thats the right thing to do. And it has been a really long, hard road. But i cant think of a better ending than to see them be free. Thats our happy ending. Reporter pepe is hesitant at first. But then seems to relish his new surroundings. For nightline, im in iquitos, peru. For more of these nobglobal adventure stories check out our youtube channel, thymes two.

If theres anybody who can give some insight into the fraught relations between police and the public right now, ray kelly just might be the man. Tonight the abc news contributor and twotime new York Police Commissioner reflected on a lifetime spent serving his everevolving community and todays gamechangers in his new memoir vigilance. Abcs this week anchor George Stephanopoulos has the exclusive. Once a cop, always a cop. Reporter ray kelly has walked this beat his entire life. New york street kids to two terms as the citys commissioner. This was your precinct . I used to work here as a police officer. Reporter kelly first became commissioner in october 1992, a few months later in new york city, a massive explosion beneath the twin towers of the World Trade Center it appears that the explosion that occurred was in all likelihood the result of some type of explosive device. Tell us about that. It was a real jolt. Nobody anticipated it. Should we have . Probably. Could have been so much worse. The goal was to have one building go into the other building. That didnt happen but something much more horrific happened in 2001. Thats your second tour as commissioner. And everything has changed. Things have changed throughout the world. During your ten years, commissioner, the crime rate in new york city came down. A lot of people say it came at great cost. You know the criticism of your stop and frisk approach to policing. What is your response . Not everybody liked stop and frisk, i understand that. But if you go into communities of color, theyre very much concerned about crime. Crime rates are higherer this. They want to be protected. The fact of the matter is the rate here is lower than it was in philadelphia, lower than it was in baltimore. Just this spring polls show the confidence in Police Overall in the country, lowest level in 23 years. Its a real problem. When you have incidents such as the horrific events that happened in north charleston, south carolina, where walter scott was gunned down by a police officer, these highprofile events set us back quite a ways. When you see these protests all across the country saying black lives matter, africanamericans say to you, im sorry, i just dont believe the police have our best interests at heart, what do you say . Well, i think you have to work with the communit
