Wowsa!
The former host of Price Is Right, Bob Barker has donated $2.5 million to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
All the $$$$$ went to the Bob Barker Building, which will open its doors on Wednesday on the corner of Sunset and Alvarado in El Lay. It will serve as home to the group’s media, marketing, youth outreach and campaign departments.
Barker preached about the importance of spaying and neutering pets for 25 years on TV, but since his retirement, he’s hit the road promoting freedom for whales and working to end the fur trade along with other important causes.
PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk said that Bob could have just given the organization a refrigerator, but was thrilled that he donated enough for an entire building to be restored.
So generous!
