Paul Harvey Made A “Good Day” For Animals
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 3rd, 2009 in Animal Issues, Radio Hosts.
Paul Harvey, news commenter and talk radio host, recently passed at the young age of 90.
He became famous over the years for his sign-off, “Paul Harvey…Good Day.”
Many may not know how he made a good day for animals.
Actively involved with many animal treatment issues, such as puppy mills, animal fighting, seal clubbing, and factory farming, Harvey personally worked with all six CEO’s of the Humane Society of the United States.
Two years before the Federal Humane Methods of Slaughter Act was enacted, Harvey began reporting on decisions the House Agricultural Committee made in regard to animal slaughter. After visiting a slaughterhouse, he urged for the end to some of its practices through his syndicated newspaper column.
He also endorsed ballads protecting farm animals, such as the recent Proposition 2 in California and Proposition 204 in Arizona.
