Animal rights group's new hub named for Bob Barker
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bob Barker's name has been attached to a game show and a cause for decades. Now it's attached to a building.
For decades, the former game show host urged "Price Is Right" viewers to spay or neuter their pets. After he retired from the show, he donated $2.5 million to renovate a Los Angeles building that will become the West Coast headquarters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
PETA officials and Barker will attend Thursday's grand opening.
The Bob Barker Building on Sunset Boulevard will house PETA's media, marketing, youth outreach and campaign departments.
