TV legend Bob Barker meets fans in Los Angeles

Bob Barker is showing his animal rights love for Lucy the elephant at the Edmonton Zoo in Canada.

The vegetarian ex Price is Right host is calling for the zoo to release Lucy so she may live her remaining years in a sanctuary.

Bob met with zoo officials recently for the proposal.

“There’s very little agreement on anything,” Bob said. “One minute they say she’s happy and healthy and the next minute they say that she’s too ill to travel.”

“Before I go to my maker I would like to see Lucy in the sanctuary,” Bob added.

Bob mentioned that PETA had hired a high profiled Toronto-based lawyer Clayton Ruby to see if anything can be done through the courts to have Lucy moved.

The zoo’s veterinarian, Dr. James Oosterhuis, insists that Lucy’s current respiratory condition would make it dangerous to move her.

“Her current respiratory problems preclude any thought of moving her and in fact, it would be life-threatening,” wrote Oosterhuis. “It is my opinion that it would be unethical for any veterinarian to recommend moving her.”

Barker, along with animal rights activists and their veterinarians insist Lucy can only get better if she is moved.

    Bob Barker is NOT showing any “love” for Lucy. He is calling for her to be moved to a “sanctuary”, a place where they don’t really know how to care for incredible creatures like elephants. If he REALLY wanted to show love for her, he’d call for her to be switched to another great zoo, where the keepers are 100% dedicated to the care of exotic animals. Barker is merely pushing his own political agenda.

    Allen Nyhuis is pushing his own political agenda shamelessly which is his hallmark.
