Bob Barker Donates $1.5M to Move LA Elephant to Sanctuary
The Los Angeles Zoo’s controversial $42-million Pachyderm Forest development, which would house their lone asian elephant named Billy, has attracted a number of celebrity endorsements, including Guns n’ Roses’ guitarist Slash.
But today we learned that the animal rights side of the table, which wants to send Billy to the Performing Animal Welfare Society to spend his days with other elephants, has some heavyweight celebrity backing of their own: long-time animal activist and television personality Bob Barker says he will donate $1.5 million to help move Billy to the sanctuary.
