Television Legend Bob Barker has generously donated 2.5 million dollars to purchase and renovate a building for PETA's (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) future Los Angeles home.  A long time advocate for the safety and rights of animals, Bob Barker praised Ingrid E. Newirk, President of PETA,   for her excellent work in helping animals.  Mr. Barker expressed his admiration and respect for PETA and their staff.  He states, "they are the most effective and the most productive of all animal welfare groups in the world."  While at the dedication ceremony,  Mr. Barker's generosity continued.  When PETA reaches their next 2 million, he will, in turn, match that amount... making his total contribution up to 4.5 million dollars. PETA's  new office building will bring more than 100 jobs to downtown LA.  It will support the growth of PETA's media, marketing, youth outreach, and campaign department.

Lets show some comment highlights from the article:

Quote
I wonder, will there be a ribbon cutting at the walk in freezer?  PETA's Virgina facility adoption out 8 (EIGHT) animals, yet they euthanized 2352 animals.  Really?  Seriously?

Quote
Regarding the new PETA bldg, is it a new insane asylum?

Quote
PETA's agenda is anti-animal welfare. They want to detsroy civilization. They are terrorists no different than Al-Qaida and should be regarded as much.

Quote
TO suggest vegetarianism is a hippie culture further cements you and your sides ignorance and lack of knowledge. Any of you Christian? Read Genesis 1:29... Its clear.. Read the Dead Sea Scrolls.. Read the GIta if you are Hindu.. etc...

Quote
I thought we were unhealthy nation because we don't have govt healthcare?

Quote
Those look like Hooter's girls behind him. Good to see that he has the same respect for women that he does for animals.

Quote
Donate to PETA, because you too can support domestic terrorism.
