Bob Barker Drury U “Dorothy Jo Barker Professorship Animal Rights”
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 28th, 2009 in Animal Issues, TV Hosts.
Bob Barker has donated a million dollars to his alma mater, Drury University, to establish a program for animal rights, the Dorothy Jo Barker Professorship for Animal Rights.
Named after his late wife Dorothy, the program will offer studies on various animal rights issues.
“At the very least, the students who take this class will have more respect for animals,” said Barker.
“It’s taught by 6 professors all experts in their field,” said professor Dr. Patricia McEachern. “There’s no other class like this in the United States”
This isn’t the first time Barker has teamed up a higher education institute to educate others about animal welfare.
Earlier this year, Bob donated a million dollars to the University of Virginia Law school to establish an animal law program.
Sigh. A million here. A million there. Bet the animals are thankful they’ve got a wealthy man on their side.
Kudos to Bob! Keep up the great work!
