Barker’s Work As An Animal Rights Activist
Bob Barker is a legend, for more than just his charismatic hosting, in America and across the globe. For one thing, he has been an active supporter of PETA- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Bob was known to begin his episodes by promoting good treatment towards pets, Drew Carey has followed in his footsteps and continued the tradition.
In 1987 Bob was set to host the Miss USA pageant, but the charitable man refused to commence, unless all of the contestants agreed not to wear real fur in the pageant. Even today in retirement, Barker still continues advocating for animals.
