Comments Off on Bob Barker “Larry King Live” On Whaling (Video)
Bob Barker‘s visit to Larry King Live was, as expected, phenomenal!
Hard to believe the octogenarian is keeping a pace most men half his age would struggle to compete with.
Barker sat alongside Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson and explained why he gave $5 million to fight whale harpooning.
Harper and other activists probably breathed a sign of relief when the International Whaling Commission recently rejected a much publicized proposal to turn over a 24 year moratorium on commercial whaling.
Both Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson and former Price is Right host Bob Barker will be guests on King’s show tonight, July 1, at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. and 9 p.m. PT).
Watson stars on the Animal Planet show, Whale Wars, which chronicles the Sea Shepherd’s attempts to thwart Japanese whalers while Bob Barker is a generous philanthropist who’s donated money to several schools to implement animal study programs in law and more.
Comments Off on Pamela Anderson “Larry King Live” On SeaWorld, Veganism (Video)
Pamela Anderson was recently on Larry King Live when Larry King asked Pamela what she thought about the SeaWorld tragedy several weeks ago where a trainer was killed by an animal.
King: Do you think there should be SeaWorlds?
Anderson: I don’t think there should be SeaWorlds. Of course not. They should not be in captivity at all.
A viewer from Facebook told King to ask Pamela what she eats to stay looking so great and Pamela got into her discussion on what a vegetarian and vegan is.
She also talked about her new celebrity signature vegan milkshake at Millions of Milkshakes in Santa Monica, California.
The SeaWorld conversation begins around minute 2:20.
Larry King hosted Jack Hanna and PETA’s Ingrid Newkirk on Larry King Live, where the two got into a heated debate over whether keeping whales like the one that killed SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau, is safe for humans and animals.
Newkirk said the conditions aren’t ideal for the whales and that they are “swimming in their own diluted urine” and she hopes the company is sued.
Hanna said the benefits of learning about whales outweigh the risks and compared the trainers to astronaunts.
“Larry, didn’t our astronauts go up in the space shuttle and we lost them when they came back? It was a terrible thing. They went back up in space, didn’t they? We want to learn from space and help mankind. That’s what SeaWorld does. These are dangerous animals. This young lady sacrificed her life and would be sitting here today saying she’d do it again for the great work she’s done and SeaWorld has done to educate tens of millions of people over the last years.”
Do you agree with Hanna?
Or is there a better way to educate the public than through marine parks like SeaWorld?
“There are more Stephanies,” Marler said. “Grossly under calculated people who get sick…We’ve really gutted the ability for local and state health departments, CDC, to surveil food borne illness. There are a lot of Stephanies, a lot of Abbeys, a lot of Kevins-they just don’t necessarily get tied to a particular hamburger patty.”
Sad, frightening, and disgusting all in one.
There’s only one surefire way to monitor illness from eating meat-stay away from it! Grab a veggie patty instead.
Comments Off on CNN’s Showbiz Tonight Gets In On Judd-Palin Debate
The Ashley Judd vs. Sarah Palin feud now has a third party jumping in. CNN has featured a clip from Showbiz Tonight with several people weighing in on the debate, but it looks as though they’re all weighted down on Palin’s side.
Now Judd is firing back at Palin’s latest statements on Larry King Live, where she alleges Palin’s aerial wolf hunt policies are more to do with her “pet project” than concern for wildlife. Judd claims not only do the people who use moose and caribou not use planes to shoot wolves, but that Palin has voted in ways that has hurt the populations dependent on this practice and that Alaskans have voted against Palin’s policies several times.
Some quotes from the interview:
“What is really important is to maintain a healthy and natural ecological balance between predators and prey. And allowing wealthy humans, primarily urban hunters or those who are bounty hunters from out of state, to go to Alaska and for sport hire airplanes, hire private pilots to fly around and kill wolves in this incredibly savage manner, it’s not right. It is not ethical. It is not appropriate. It doesn’t make sense on any level.”
“I think what I find particularly galling in the governor’s statement is that somehow this is interfering with poor rural Alaskan’s ability to subsistence hunt. That is a distortion. In fact, there is a native tribe in the area who applied to be able to expand their subsistence hunting and she said no. This is for urban hunters. It’s for trophy hunters from out of state. And in terms of managing the population of caribou, hello, wolves do that best. That’s why the natives honor them as the animal that keeps genetic populations healthy.”
“We can fight poverty and pollution at the same time. These things go hand in glove. Caring about human rights, caring about conservation, of course they fit together naturally. Look at Rwanda, stress on the environment, competition for resources due to overpopulation, genocide. It all works together. So it doesn’t — it’s not an either/or conversation anymore.”
