Tippi Hedren will be presented the Humane Society of the United State’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the organization’s 24th annual Genesis Awards.
“She started speaking out against the commercial breeding and private ownership of big cats years before it became a widely recognized problem,” said Beverly Kaskey, a senior director from the Humane Society of the United States and executive producer of the awards gala.
Hedren, the star from the Alfred Hitchcock classics “The Birds” and “Marnie” established the Shambala Preserve, a sanctuary for big cats such as lions and tigers rescued from circuses and zoos.
She also co-authored the Captive Wildlife Safety Act.
