Bob Barker Blogs For Bears On CNN.Com
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 10th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Authors, TV Hosts.
Bob Barker has made ongoing efforts to end the suffering of the caged bears on display at various tourist attractions in Cherokee, North Carolina, including meeting with Principal Chief Michell Hicks of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation.
Now he’s taking his stance on Larry King’s CNN blog in hopes of reaching an even bigger audience.
“The good people of Cherokee welcomed me warmly, and many told me they agreed that the bears are kept in deplorable conditions. Bears are very intelligent, active and curious animals. They need room to roam, natural surroundings to investigate and opportunities to forage, climb and dig dens.”
“Earlier in my career, I hosted a show called Truth or Consequences. I closed the show by saying, “… hoping all your consequences are happy ones!” I hope with all my heart that Chief Hicks and the tribal council will make the consequences for the Cherokee bears happy ones. Until then, my heart and my conscience won’t allow me to do anything but ask people to stay away from Cherokee and voice their support for allowing the bears to retire to a sanctuary.”
