sea shepherd conservation society get $5-million from Bob Barker

TV’s Price is Right icon Bob Barker is out to save more animals. Forget zoo elephants, now Barker’s showering his protective funds over marine life. Bob Barker Donates $5,000,000 to Sea Shepherd for Ocean Conservation
Thanks to a $5,000,000 contribution from American television personality and icon Bob Barker, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was able to quietly purchase and refit the former Norwegian whaler in Africa. The ice strengthened fast chaser boat quietly departed from Mauritius on December 18th to join up with the Sea Shepherd ships Steve Irwin and Ady Gil in the Southern Ocean.

Barker has also funded the cost of a helicopter that will accompany the society’s ships. The aircraft is named The Nancy Burnet after the president of United Activists for Animal Rights, an organization Barker also supports. This new helicopter will participate in future campaigns.
