Bob Barker Gives $1 Million to UCLA Law School for Study of Animal Rights Law

Television personality Bob Barker donated $1 million to the UCLA School of Law to create theBob Barker Endowment Fund for the Study of Animal Rights Law. The UCLA endowment fund will support teaching, research, seminars and lectures at the law school in the emerging field of animal rights law.

"Animal exploitation happens throughout this country and elsewhere," Barker said. "Animals need all the protection we can give them. We intend to introduce a growing number of law students to this area of the law in hopes that they will ultimately lead a national effort to make it illegal to brutalize and exploit these helpless creatures."

He should have sent that money to Alabama. It would pay for one hell of a barbecue.
