Bob Barker eats vegan in Fort Lauderdale
December 14th, 2006 by admin
Bob Barker was in the news again this week for his extraordinary efforts on behalf of animals. The retiring host of The Price Is Right has pledged $300,000 toward housing an elephant from the Los Angeles Zoo in an animal sanctuary. Activists in California are trying to convince the zoo to close its elephant exhibit and retire a 45-year-old African elephant named Ruby to a sanctuary. Activists closer to home are involved in a similar fight- Lion Country Safari, a zoo in West Palm Beach, recently announced that it will be closing its elephant exhibit; ARFF is advocating retirement for the zoo’s two elephants (learn more here).
Bob Barker will be in Fort Lauderdale next Monday, December 18, to celebrate the re-opening of the acclaimed vegan restaurant Sublime. Visit Sublime’s website to learn more about the restaurant and to make reservations.
