Bob Barker Video Supporting the “Terrorist” Animal Liberation Front

Bob Barker, former host of the Price is Right, says:

“I think that the ALF, the Animal Liberation Front, is probably, has in recent years, probably been
one of the most effective, if not the most effective, element of the animal rights movement.”

Yep, the clip is real. It was dug up and included in a campaign video produced by Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA called “Strike Back.” Barker famously ended every episode of the Price is Right with “Remember, have your pets spayed and neutered.” He has also donated millions of dollars to presitigious law schools, to establish animal rights law programs. Here is a New York Times piece on Barker’s law school donations.

The FBI labels the Animal Liberation Front the “number one domestic terrorism threat.” But if any FBI agents are thinking of harassing Barker or raiding his home, like they’ve been doing to other animal rights activists, they’d do well to remember the fight scene from Happy Gilmore.

To paraphrase George W. Bush: In this War on Terrorism, you’re either with Bob Barker, or against Bob Barker.
