Bob Barker has been named an honorary fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Barker is the first person in the entertainment industry to receive the award.
Through Barker’s generous donations, hundreds of law students at prestigious schools around the country can study animal law, including at Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, Northwestern, Duke, Georgetown, Virginia and Columbia.
“We cannot change the world for animals without also changing people’s ideas about animals. Almost single-handedly Bob’s sagacity and generosity have – in little more than a decade – propelled animals from being a marginal issue into the academic mainstream. This is a colossal achievement”, said Professor Linzey, Director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics.
Barker joins a line of several honorary fellows that include Nobel Laureate for Literature, Professor J. M. Coetzee and Madame Jeanne Marchig, founder of the Marchig Trust for Animal Welfare.
