Barker Gives $1 Million to UCLA Law School
Sunday November 7 3:07 PM ET
Bob Barker is used to handing out prizes as host of the TV game show "The Price is Right." But officials at the University of California, Los Angeles, law school announced last week that Barker has given out a prize of another sort: $1 million for an animal rights law endowment.
Barker, who has hosted the game show for more than three decades, often advises viewers to spay or neuter their pets.
He said he hoped the endowment would encourage more law students to get involved in protecting animals.

"Animal exploitation happens throughout this country and elsewhere," Barker said. "Animals need all the protection we can give them."
The Bob Barker Endowment Fund for the Study of Animal Rights Law will pay for teaching, research, seminars and lectures. The effort will be led by UCLA professor Taimie Bryant, who teaches a course in animal law.
