Bob Barker–perhaps best known as the longtime host of “The Price Is Right,” but also revered for his decades-long work as an animal activist–discusses various aspects, and the early impact, of his establishing endowments for the study of animal rights law at several prominent law schools (last month at Georgetown, on the heels of Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, Columbia, Duke and Northwestern–with a $1 million donation to each school), his view on the issue of elephants at zoos (and specifically, The L.A. Zoo, in the wake days earlier of the untimely death there of an elephant named Gita), and touches on other topics and listener questions, including how to get involved locally with animal advocacy.
