Hi Bob, I have been watching you for all 50 years. I don”t know what I’ll do at 10:00 am every morning. We have lived in our house for 36 years and I have watched you On TPIR with my children, grandchildren and 15 years of babysitting. I will miss you. You have made all your fans happy, now its time for you to be happy. You have become a part of our lives. You are like a member of our family. My granddaughter is 7, she always watches the show with me. Her favorite game is Plinko. When she started school she told me to tape the show for her. I hope you enjoy your retirement. Just remember we love you.
I am old enough to remember Truth and Consequences – Bob and his wife, Dorothy, were on there. I have watched The Price is Right sporadically because of college and my work schedule, but it is still one of my favorite game shows. Bob was also a guest star on The Match Game, which is still shown on the Game Show Network. His outgoing, fun-loving personality has been a perfect fit for The Price is Right, and his presence was a huge part of the show’s endurance and popularity. His commitment to animal rights/protection issues is very commendable. I know that he will enjoy having more leisure time and being unencumbered by work commitments. If the show’s producers haven’t selected a replacement, I hope that they will consider Wayne Brady or Drew Carey. Please don’t even contemplate Rosie O’Donnell – she is too abrasive and volatile. Best wishes, Bob! You will be missed.
Hello Mr. bob barker,
I would like to thank you for your many-many hours of humor. I would also like to thank you on behalf of all the animals that you have saved. I try to follow in your footsteps, and i hope i do you justice.
Have a wonderful time off.
Anyone reading this PLEASE spay or neuter your animals.( Let’s all do it for bob!)
Sincerely,
char seybert

Bob,
Just want to say that you will forever be the greatest host of all time.
You are an inspiration to me since i was a little kid it break my heart to know that i will not be able to see you every day like i use to.
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
Bob…you will be sorely missed…you are The Price is Right. It will not be the same without you…generations have watched you and loved you. God Bless you on your retirement…you deserve it. Come back for a visit. Have fun with your animals…they will love you just like the people did. ENJOY and Best Wishes to you.
Bob, we all really said to see you leave June 15th. You have made a difference in everyone’s lives, especially mine! Krem 2 wouldn’t be the same w/out the Price is Right..everyone knows that!! Thanks for everything….
I too have enjoyed TPiR for many years. However, now as a Wounded Warrior here at Brooke Army Medical Center, I wonder if Bob has any ideas about how to obtain a Service/Assistance Dog. I served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and I absolutely adore animals in general–especially dogs. Reference sites are http://www.iaadp.org and, also, http://www.pyschdogs.org. My favorite dog is the German Shepherd. THANKS FOR SUPPORTING THE TROOPS.
Does anyone have direct access to Bob Barker?? We have an emergency here in Austin Texas as the air conditioner at the SPCA went out. It can not
be repaired and it will cost over $200,000.00 to replace it. Have him contact the Austin Texas SPCA direct. It has been in excess of 90 degrees here and about 70% humidity. Not good for animals in that situation. Any help would be appreciated. I have nothing to do with the shelter myself, just concerned about the animals.
My husband loves to watch you and the Price Is Right. He will no longer watch if Rosie O’Donell is chosen to replace you. I am so glad to be able to reply to your retirement. What a wonderful job you have done over the years and yes, we do spay and neuter all our strays that we have taken in to be members of our family.
I am 18 years old and have been highly influenced by your animal rights activism while enjoying your game show for most of my life. A week ago a cat was hit and killed by a driver in my boyfriend’s neighborhood. I went to go visit him today and we noticed another kitten roaming around in the same street. We decided to take it to a nearby shelter on Mission Road in Ontario, California. We wanted to save its life and the woman would not take it. We explained that it was not our cat and that we were trying to do the right thing and she began yelling at us and kicked us out in the street, kitten and all. She rudely told us that she had too many cats and couldn’t take anymore and got very upset when I tried to leave it anyway. I tried to do something good and this was the result. I already have a seven year old cat and our apartment doesn’t allow more than one animal. We are so disgusted by the very people that are supposed to save these little animals. Thnaks for listening, Bob
Hello Bob Barker: I watched your show for many years and loved every moment of it.But the other night I got the tale end of what you where talking about getting a bill past on these breeders and getting your dogs and cats spay and neuter.I TOTALLY SUPORT YOU.

Thank you so much for the many years of enjoyment my family and I have had when it came to watching you on the price is right. I also am old enough to remember watching you on truth or consequences, which I also enjoyed as a child. I missed many episodes of the price is right over the years because of having to work, so I am very thankful that technoligy had allowed us to record the price is right and I was able to watch episodes I would have had to miss. I wish they would put the price is right and concentration on chanel 47 which is the TV Land chanel. Also, thank you for all the animals you have helped over the years. We love and miss you Bob.
Mr. Barker,
It has been a pleasure to watch your show for so many years. I am 33 and have watched with joy since I was a small child (my wife also has). My sons, I have 3 of them, all love your show, too. They get excited when anyone wins and when the wheel is spun. In fact, one of the first things that my oldest, Jacob, said without our prompting was “Spin the wheel!”. They true joy that you brought to people for 35 years (both your winners and people watching at home) is a great gift to society. Too many times we see the bad side of life and the news is absolutely depressing, but you brought us happiness and we will miss you. I hope that Drew Carey (who I find to be a very funny and amiable man, does half the job you have, for if he does the show will continue to be a smashing succuss.
All the best in what you choose in life,
David, Pamela, Jacob, Braden, and Zachary Thompson
Lexington, KY
I like many have watched your show a great deal over the years. I am very inspired by what you do for animals and how you do it. My town is in extreme crisis. We have no animal shelter, which is no kill and we have nearly the highest euthenization rate on the east coast. We are continuosly trying to find funds to start a shelter, but have exhausted many options. I write to you because I know you are a fellow animal lover, and may be able to help.. I pray this message finds you..
If anyone has access to Bob’s email would you please send it to me at rwentz@radford.edu.. We desperately need help in my county with our animals, and I really feel he could help. Thank you..
Hi there, bob. I am writing to you, to see if you can help me in getting my 2 female dogs spayed. My vet that I usually use told me the last time that I check on the price was that it was going to be $90 each. I am unalbe to pay the fee right now, and I don’t know when I wil be albe to right now. My husband and I have had a string of bad luck, since we had to file bankurpty 2 years ago. If you can help me , please write or call. , and my email address if micebox@verizon.net
Sincerely,
Carolyn Garland
Dear Bob Barker,
As far as the pet population goes, I really wish you would address the issue of manufacture’s puttting in ingredient’s that cause panimal’s to get cancer–I have had 4 dog’s which I loved & it is very hard to have them put down. We are animail lover’s & there should be a law against poison’s being put in animal food–to give them cancer & not be able to say on the package, what is in the product.
People have right’s & so should the animal’s. I love my dog very much, he is my best friend, he is there when I need him & it isn’t fair for company’s to put poison in there food, so they only live for about 4 yrs. That is so on fair–Pet’s alway’s lived for a very long time.
Please help for Amimal Right’s Thank’s
Never before a more gracious host.His love for the animals, his generosity for them and peoplewill never be matched. I will always remember his “elephant”…WHAT A GESTURE!!!! May God always wa6ch overhim.
You’re officially the best human in the world for trying to get the neutering thing passed. But with all your money and power, you couldn’t get the bill passed. Why? Because Peta, and all the other organizations that claim to care about animals all have their own IDEAS about every animal topic, including breeding. You need to pay somone a salary that connects all animal organizations together, argues, and gets them to focus on a direct topic. One organization may think neutering is a good idea, but believes in dog shows, which promotes breeding. I would promote dog shows in a perfect world, but this is hardly a perfect world. Dog shows is the most powerful influence to domestic breeding there is, and you need to find someone who will talk and influence all organizations so that next time you take on congress, one measily guy and his overwhelming support of dog breeders can’t defeat you. Thanks, Andy
Bob Barker i just want to say thank you because today I was watching access hollywood and i see my dog (jessie) with Bob Barker. I am so happy to see that my dog recieved a great home.I was so sad when i had to turn her into the Burbank shelter because i was asked to move out of the house i was renting. The owner had sold the property and we had to move into an apartment and noboday wante dto hold (jessie) for me.All these years my son had been asking what happened to his dog and today we got the answer while watching access hollywood celebrate Bob Barkers birthday i hope jessie has brought you lots of happiness as she did to us.
oops.
I was just wondering- Does Anyonw know what became of bob? Like what is he doing now?
I am his idolizing fan. I was blessed with being on the show one day. It was great. I didnt get called up for a game- however bob did autograph my arm on national TV. I had a tattoo of bob and wanted his autograph tattooed as well.
Anyhow- Where is bob now? What is he doing? Is he enjoying his retirement?
Hello Bob,
I have watched your show many times, and I know that you are a great fan of greyhounds. I am a volunteer at Greyhound Angels in Pennsauken, NJ. Today Sunday jan 20,2008 we have arriving 21 Retired racing greyhounds. They will stay the the kennel until the founder Lisa Newbold finds them forever homes. Greyhound angels is a Non Profit Organization totally dependent on donations and volunteer help. We are in great need of a Commercial Size Washing Machine. With some 45 greyhounds residing in the kennel the washer never stops. I was wondering if you could help us in finding someone who would like to donate a Commercial Size Washer to help with our wash load. Any suggestions you could give me would help a lot.
Take care and I hope to hear from you soon. Loretta Greyhound Angels volunteer
Could you kindly provide me with an email or other address that I might use to write to Mr. Barker? Though I am sure he receives many such requests, I would like to ask him if he would be inclined to contribute to our efforts to build a no-kill shelter in our county here in Massachusetts. There are no available shelters that are no-kill, and though we fund-raise and run an adoption clinic every single weekend, after two years we are still operating from a woman’s garage. We have a dedicated crew of volunteers who do everything from cleaning cages to taming feral kittens. and over $40,000 towards out shelter, but need about three times that to be able to purchase the site we need. Thank you, in afvance, from all of us, as well as the animals who could sure use your help.
Mr. Barker. I need a miricle, looking for a loving individual for a loving special needs rabbit . There has to be someone who would bring this special animal into their home (no cage) and care for him, they would be rewarded a thousand times back in his affection. Regards Felix
You were a good game show host. Helping homeless animals is good, but please, help us with that mandatory spay neuter. It’s not going to solve the problem of homeless animals. Law abiding citizens who are responsible pet owners are already supervising their dogs, and they should not have to be punished with an unfair law that addresses them. The ones who are lawbreakers will continue to hide their pets and simply continue with not registering them. So see, it doesn’t address what needs to be addressed. Our city considered this law partially because of you. Now I ask you to please, please help us with this law so that it will be fair to all concerned. It should not be mandatory spay neuter for law abiding citizens. It simply is not fair. Someone out here has to help us amend the law. I believe that you can help us. Please do so.
I have watched Bob Barker on television ever since I was a child because my mother could never get enough of him. I now understand he has become an activist for homeless dogs. This is amazing when a celebrity supports a cause and takes it to a world level.
I am not a celebrity, but I have taken on a cause. My cause is called FIDO (Fight Irresponsible Dog Owners). My reason or shall I say my purpose was to honor my mini Yorkshire Terrier named “Gnocchi”. On August 26, 2008, my dog while on a walk with my older brother was attacked by two stray black dogs and ripped open. My brother had to see this happen and not be able to help our little pooch. The dogs had done this two years ago and were under a muzzle and leash order but the owner did not abide by the order. The incident has received a lot of press coverage and even some television also. I just wanted to take this opportunity to let Bob Barker know that saving homeless dogs is a very important thing…but owning them in a responsible fashion is even more important. Please check out our web page. Thank you very much.
hi bob,i am writing to ask you for help. i have 10 dogs some of whom are dropoffs. i live in the country and people here like to drop their pets when they no longer want them. anyway, where i live the humane society gives out vouchers to help with the cost of spay ,newter. but what if in my situation you can’t afford the balance after the voucher. i am on social securityand just make it buying food (i also have custody of 2 grandsons) i have tried to get most of my females spayed but now it’s getting harder.i have a female bassett and a cat that need to be spayed. is there someone or somewhere i can contact for help. i fully believe in spay/newter you pets,but where i live there is not one vet that will help poor people in this situation.please advise me on what to do as i want to do right for my pets. with 10 dogs and 6 cats i need all the help i can get. thanks for listening gerri
I turned 60 yrs old today… I work as a cashier… and many of my customers say I don’t look my age… I tell them, I’m like Bob Barker – he’s my hero! They look at me a little surpised. But its true. Who better signifies a happy, well adjusted, fun loving older man, and hansome too! Miss you on the tube. hope your well.
I have been trying to contact Bob Barker as I have also tired to contact someone at CBS to tell them that they made a big mistake putting Drew Carey as the host of The Price is Right. There is a man by the name of Bob Nichols who has numerous emcee jobs in Branson, Mo who is the right man for the job. He has so much charisma as Bob Barker did, he would be a natural for the show and people would welcome him as they did Bob Barker.
I hope that this email gets to Bob Barker and he can explore this man as a replacement. If Drew Carey is to remain on that show, it will die.
Very Important! Please contact me about a rescue dog needing major medical attention as soon as possible. We have exhausted all other possibilities and don’t know where to turn! I saw your brief come back on “The Price is Right” today, and feel like it was a message and maybe a glimmer of hope!
Thank You,
Janyce
I just saw you on the April 16th show. The consensus here is that you have aged rapidly after leaving “Price is Right”. We all think that you should return to the show after Drew’s contract expires. We believe that the show really kept you looking young. You belong there, Bob! Believe me.
Drew is a fabulous guy, but Price is Right is synonymous with Bob Barker and vice versa.
Thank you for the viewing pleasure you have given to millions. God bless you.
To Mr. Barker,
You mentioned about trying adult films. It’s never too late as the following story suggests: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/30229533#30229533
I think the older generation should have wider horizons and you’d be a perfect spokesperson to show everyone that you’re never too old to have a satisfying life.
The trouble with media today is they want to pretend the elderly don’t exist. The adult film community insists on using young people made up(often horrifically) as older performers. This is both wrong and stupid.
So, if you get offered the chance, GO FOR IT! I’d love to see you break down that idiotic stereotype.
Thanks,
D
I am doing a project on puppy mills for my ethics class at Drury University and was wondering if Bob could contact me to answer some questions!! We love Dr. Bob!!!
I love you, and commend you, and I want to thank you on behalf of all animals big, and small for all the love and respect you give them. I wrote you above about a matter concerning my cat Friday, Please Give Dr. Max Balmsforth a huge metal, for being so kind to take care of my Baby, when others would’nt. I thought I would die when that place was gona let my baby die, because I did not have the money on me. Please call him for me, and tell him Wanda Sullman thanks you, from the bottom of my heart. he is a vet, at the North Kingstown Animal Hospital in Rhode Island, 02852 and the phone number there is 401-295-9777 Thank you and God Bless you Mr. Barker
Love always Wanda Dee Sullman, and Friday my baby wsullman@aol.com
Hi Bob,
I just wanted to say that I miss having you as the host for the price is right. Drew Carey is a great host, but he isn’t very entertaining like you! Everyday that you were hosting, I was looking forward to watching it, now whenever I’m able to, I dont want to as much. I still do watch it, but I end up doing something else cause Drew just doesnt keep my attention. I’ve fallen asleep while watching the show. I miss when you always were about to show the price and then stop and ask the person what they’ll be doing with the money; I liked when you made fun of the people, but we knew you were joking, Drew makes fun of people and he doesn’t make it sound like a joke at all, he makes it sound mean. I just wish you would be able to come back and host the price is right!
I love you so much Bob and I miss you as host for the price is right!!
I agree that there are alot of pet owners that don’t control their pets but I am not one of them! I have miniture American Eskimo dogs and one male is not altered. He is my pal and goes everywhere with me. He is not allowed to roam free and is an inside dog at night, How dare you back a law that would force me to alter him. What makes you think YOU have the right to deside what people can and can’t do with there dogs or cats? Last time I checked , this was still AMERICA! I would love to see a law passed that effected you and something you love and see how all your money can exempt you. I just love how celebrities with lots of money can push their agendas on us, the people that made you rich, and we have no recourse. DON’T ASSUME EVERYBODY IS THE SAME!!!!!!!!
Hi, I’m not sure if Bob Barker browses this page, but I would like to contact him regarding funding a childrens book publication. I have the first draft story for the first installation, which involves telling stories to help children to inspire their parents to adopt pets and strays, and to become responsible owners, spaying and neutering them accordingly. If he does, or an agent browses this page, please contact me at the supplied e-mail address. Thank you.
I am writing this letter to ask you if there is anyway that The Ringling Bros.Circus can be shut down? I am a Member of the ASPCA which is an orginazation to help prevent cruelty to animals. These animals that are taken from their habitat should never be. Since when do the so called human beings have the right to do this? Animal Cruelty should carry a hefty fine and many years behind bars. I saw on TV the way they treat these beautiful creatures. Hitting them with sticks and dragging a cougar
across the blacktop on his side. This makes me so sick when I see this happening. Is there anything that you can do?
I am a very serious Animal Lover.
O’Siyo(Hello)from Cherokee, North Carolina! I just wabted to say, as a Cherokee, that I am so glad Mr. Barker took a stand on the Qualla Boundary’s practice of keeping black bears caged up for show and money. I have seen them many times…have been in their cages. Although the workers try to keep the cages clean, it’s impossible, with 3 or 4 or more bears together, passing their waste 24/7, not to mention it is just plain WRONG to take any animal out of their natural habitat. It is just as inhumane as caging a CHILD. And yes, as much as I hate to say it, being Cherokee, it is all about money. It is EXPLOITATION. The sad part is, turning these bears back into the wild of our mountains after being caged…they probably will not survive. They will need to go to a good zoo where they have a similation of their natural habitiat, with plenty of clean space to move and live. They will forever be dependent on humans for survival, and folks…that is just WRONG! Creator made the 4-legged, winged ones, and all the creatures of Earth to be FREE. Unlike humans, who have free will of choice, who enslave each other and themselves in various ways, animals do not have the ability of free choice, only instinct of survival. I join with Mr. Barker in ending this type of practice forever…getting laws passed to prevent this horrible crime against nature. Mr. Barker, if you read this…THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!
HI Again! DITTO on the comments above about circuses. Same thing as caging black bears on our reservation up here in North Carolina. I don’t think America is going to go under from lack of circus, but the poor creatures and their kingdoms WILL.
THERE HAS TO BE STIFF LAWS AND PENALITIES FOR THIS! Anyone interested in contacting members of congress about this/getting nation-wide petitions going?
Bob should stick to giving away other peoples money and leave Lucy alone. To take her from her home to a strange environment would kill her! Find some other cause to give purpose to your life.
Bob,
My wife has been watching you for years and years and loves you. I think you’re a pretty cool guy. But I have to ask…promoting WWF? What were you thinking?
Herk.
I just wanted to personally thank Mr. Barker for his help in relocating Maggie the elephant from the Anchorage Zoo to a much better place in California where she has lots of room and other elephant friends to be with. It brings tears to my eyes when I think of the new life he has given her out of his big loving heart. God Bless you Bob Barker. All of us here in Alaska love you.
Mr. Barker would either hate or love this idea. Having separate terms for spaying or neutering pets based on their gender is cumbersome. The only term that is currently used for both is “fixed,” which leads people to quip, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” I think that in honor of Bob Barker’s years of work in supporting pet population control, we ought to introduce a new term to cover both types of operations. “Help control the excess pet population. Have your pets ‘Barkered.’” I’m not being sarcastic. I really think we need such a word. And if I were Bob and had spent so many years devoting time, effort, and finances to a cause, I’d like to think of my name becoming part of the language long into the future.
Thank you so much for the donation to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Your not only saving the whales and our oceans wildlife, but your namesake, the Bob Barker was in a position to rescue the crew from the Ady Gil. Without your generous donation, there would have been no ship, so no rescue. You saved six lives right off the bat.
Thank you again for your support.
i heard you supported sea shepherd and instantly lost all respect for you. their cause is just, but their means are irresponsible and deplorable. he throws the lives of young volunteers unneccessarily into harms way, and then excuses himself from responsibility by saying “they volunteered they have the right to refuse.” that kind of violence is inexcusable, and your support for such an organization makes you a hypocrite.
i,m so glad bob barker gave 5 million dollars for whales while human beings are with out ,food work, shelter,clothes etc. those poor whales
now some one can track them buy them some fish food to!!!!!!!1
thanks bob ,the bears are safe as we all know yes in cherokee
N.C. not that any thing was wrong with them either
hey fuel the space shuttle up waste some more money
while us humans need help but who cares no 5 million dollar
help for us though..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never relly watched the Price is Right although you are a part of our entertainment heritage. When I read you were supporting the Sea Shepherd Society my respect for you went sky high. The flagrant criminal activity of Japan and its whaling for profit industry in a whale sanctary must be stopped and it is through the generosity and commitment of high profile persons such as yourself that will help conservation groups like the Sea Shepherd Society do something where governments refuse to enforce the protections they should enforce in marine sanctuaries. Shame on Japan and shame on New Zealand and Australia for not doing something about the illegal and criminal activities of the Japanese.
I read about your supposed $5 million dollar donation to a wildlife organization and I thought to myself, hey, if he can do that, then he can do anything. I did not understand any organization would need that much money. It is a lot. That is until I did the math and say that 200 people could do fulltime jobs for a year or 400 people could do parttime jobs for a year. Anyway I am 29 years old and the most I have ever made in a year has been $8,300 . I have $48,000 in loans (I never recieved any of my scholarships) at UNM accruing interest and I dropped out of school with 2 semesters left because I have a $5000 debt. I also lost two fillings this year. I have been unemployed for 3 years. I am single African American/German/Cherokee female with no family of my own. Would you like to make another donation? Does $10,00 sound fair?
Bob Barker is a SAINT! I couldn’t give a hoot about hosting game shows – what I care about is that this man commits his time, actions, energy and resources towards the protection of animals and sea creatures that are at the mercy of stupid humanoids around the globe. Whales are the most elegant, smart and evolved of sea dwelling species. Thank GOD for people like Mr. Barker who has the resources to commit to fighting ignorant humans like the Japanese who still slaughter these grand grand organisisms for food. Bob is my hero. He understands that it is our duty to care for and protect these wonderful creatures who share our planet. Whether it’s cats and dogs or whales – they are all subject to our abuse or our protection. I’m with Bob. I LOVE THIS MAN!!!! FRITZ
With Bob Barker giving 5 million to fund the terrorist acts of “sea shepherds” he is no better than them. Mr. Barker is so concerned about a very limited harvesting of whales instead of the millions of children that are sick or hungry. In my opinion it seems that Mr. Barker is no better than a terrorist, paying someone to do a hit job is no better than doing the job yourself. Sooner or later someone will get hurt or killed and Mr. Barker will be responsible. These whalers are not harvesting the whales beyond a sustainable level. How come left wing wackos think it is Ok to break the law and hurt people to advance their views…..
I would love to see the Japanese military put an end to this and arrest barker for funding terrorist.
Good day Mr. Barker,
For years you have said to spay or neutor our animals, great advice but we know that to have an animal looked aftered by a vet. can cost alot, not to mention how many other medical needs are required. These pets endure too much because of the lack of funds many loving owners have. I truly believe I have a soloution. This is A win win for Pets, owners and medical invoices. Should you be interested to here more as this idea is still in an infant stage please e-back………………………….!
I’m not in the habit of asking for help, but I’m begging you to help now. As a friend to animals, you might be able to do something that I can’t. Please look into the Cloud Foundation – http://www.thecloudfoundation.org. They are reporting about horrific and deadly round-ups of mustangs. What is happening to these beautiful and wild icons of the American West is inhumane and must be stopped. Please, please lend your voice in stopping these awful attacks. Thank you so much for anything you can do.
Really appreciate all you have done for animals. Honestly I saw the ship the “Bob Barker” and thought of you. And I want to appreciate you now as you are enjoying life. So come out again soon so we can all see you. Hope you are well. Having people like you around makes me realize that there are still some good people left on this earth. Thank you and hope to see you sometime in the near future.
Thank you, Mr. Barker, for your support of the Sea Shepherds. I hope your example will persuade more people to consider our responsibilities to our planet and to our fellow passengers on it.
Dear Mr. Barker;
I am the founder of an all volunteer organization, based in the US, that provides free or reduced cost spaying for the street animals on the island of Jamaica. Our funding for the last three years have consisted of a few small grants which are difficult to get because we do not operate in a first world country.
Animal welfare in Jamaica is not popular. Dogs are owned mainly for guarding people’s properties as the crime rate is very hgh. Dogs roam the streets in search of food, living on the edge of starvation, suffering from disease, abuse, and untreated injuries (often intentionally struck by cars).
I would like to apply for a grant from you to help us purchase a mobile spay unit. It has been very difficult for us to deliver this much needed service due to the fact that poor people in Jamaica do not own cars and are unable to transport their animals to a stationary clinc.
Hi Bob, I just want to thank you for ALL you do for our creatures of the earth! Your name on the Sea Shepherd’s new ship is awesome.THANK YOU for caring about the whales!! You are an angel.I just heard you speak on the radio here in Pgh about the disgusting pigeon shoots1 The DO need to stop.God Bless you my friend.enjoy your retirement.I help run a dog rescue.I have 6 rescue dogs and 4 rescue cats of my own.Again I cant thank you enough for doing SOOOO mush to help ALL these different creatures. Your generosity is amazing. Mary from Pgh Pa YOU ROCK!!!!!!

Hi Bob, I have been watching you for all 50 years. I don”t know what I’ll do at 10:00 am every morning. We have lived in our house for 36 years and I have watched you On TPIR with my children, grandchildren and 15 years of babysitting. I will miss you. You have made all your fans happy, now its time for you to be happy. You have become a part of our lives. You are like a member of our family. My granddaughter is 7, she always watches the show with me. Her favorite game is Plinko. When she started school she told me to tape the show for her. I hope you enjoy your retirement. Just remember we love you.

I am old enough to remember Truth and Consequences – Bob and his wife, Dorothy, were on there. I have watched The Price is Right sporadically because of college and my work schedule, but it is still one of my favorite game shows. Bob was also a guest star on The Match Game, which is still shown on the Game Show Network. His outgoing, fun-loving personality has been a perfect fit for The Price is Right, and his presence was a huge part of the show’s endurance and popularity. His commitment to animal rights/protection issues is very commendable. I know that he will enjoy having more leisure time and being unencumbered by work commitments. If the show’s producers haven’t selected a replacement, I hope that they will consider Wayne Brady or Drew Carey. Please don’t even contemplate Rosie O’Donnell – she is too abrasive and volatile. Best wishes, Bob! You will be missed.

I too have enjoyed TPiR for many years. However, now as a Wounded Warrior here at Brooke Army Medical Center, I wonder if Bob has any ideas about how to obtain a Service/Assistance Dog. I served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and I absolutely adore animals in general–especially dogs. Reference sites are http://www.iaadp.org and, also, http://www.pyschdogs.org. My favorite dog is the German Shepherd. THANKS FOR SUPPORTING THE TROOPS.

Does anyone have direct access to Bob Barker?? We have an emergency here in Austin Texas as the air conditioner at the SPCA went out. It can not
be repaired and it will cost over $200,000.00 to replace it. Have him contact the Austin Texas SPCA direct. It has been in excess of 90 degrees here and about 70% humidity. Not good for animals in that situation. Any help would be appreciated. I have nothing to do with the shelter myself, just concerned about the animals.
Thanks!!!!

Dear Bob Barker,
I am 18 years old and have been highly influenced by your animal rights activism while enjoying your game show for most of my life. A week ago a cat was hit and killed by a driver in my boyfriend’s neighborhood. I went to go visit him today and we noticed another kitten roaming around in the same street. We decided to take it to a nearby shelter on Mission Road in Ontario, California. We wanted to save its life and the woman would not take it. We explained that it was not our cat and that we were trying to do the right thing and she began yelling at us and kicked us out in the street, kitten and all. She rudely told us that she had too many cats and couldn’t take anymore and got very upset when I tried to leave it anyway. I tried to do something good and this was the result. I already have a seven year old cat and our apartment doesn’t allow more than one animal. We are so disgusted by the very people that are supposed to save these little animals. Thnaks for listening, Bob

Dear Mr Barker,
Thank you so much for the many years of enjoyment my family and I have had when it came to watching you on the price is right. I also am old enough to remember watching you on truth or consequences, which I also enjoyed as a child. I missed many episodes of the price is right over the years because of having to work, so I am very thankful that technoligy had allowed us to record the price is right and I was able to watch episodes I would have had to miss. I wish they would put the price is right and concentration on chanel 47 which is the TV Land chanel. Also, thank you for all the animals you have helped over the years. We love and miss you Bob.

Mr. Barker,
It has been a pleasure to watch your show for so many years. I am 33 and have watched with joy since I was a small child (my wife also has). My sons, I have 3 of them, all love your show, too. They get excited when anyone wins and when the wheel is spun. In fact, one of the first things that my oldest, Jacob, said without our prompting was “Spin the wheel!”. They true joy that you brought to people for 35 years (both your winners and people watching at home) is a great gift to society. Too many times we see the bad side of life and the news is absolutely depressing, but you brought us happiness and we will miss you. I hope that Drew Carey (who I find to be a very funny and amiable man, does half the job you have, for if he does the show will continue to be a smashing succuss.
All the best in what you choose in life,
David, Pamela, Jacob, Braden, and Zachary Thompson

I like many have watched your show a great deal over the years. I am very inspired by what you do for animals and how you do it. My town is in extreme crisis. We have no animal shelter, which is no kill and we have nearly the highest euthenization rate on the east coast. We are continuosly trying to find funds to start a shelter, but have exhausted many options. I write to you because I know you are a fellow animal lover, and may be able to help.. I pray this message finds you..

As far as the pet population goes, I really wish you would address the issue of manufacture’s puttting in ingredient’s that cause panimal’s to get cancer–I have had 4 dog’s which I loved & it is very hard to have them put down. We are animail lover’s & there should be a law against poison’s being put in animal food–to give them cancer & not be able to say on the package, what is in the product.
People have right’s & so should the animal’s. I love my dog very much, he is my best friend, he is there when I need him & it isn’t fair for company’s to put poison in there food, so they only live for about 4 yrs. That is so on fair–Pet’s alway’s lived for a very long time.
Please help for Amimal Right’s Thank’s

You’re officially the best human in the world for trying to get the neutering thing passed. But with all your money and power, you couldn’t get the bill passed. Why? Because Peta, and all the other organizations that claim to care about animals all have their own IDEAS about every animal topic, including breeding. You need to pay somone a salary that connects all animal organizations together, argues, and gets them to focus on a direct topic. One organization may think neutering is a good idea, but believes in dog shows, which promotes breeding. I would promote dog shows in a perfect world, but this is hardly a perfect world. Dog shows is the most powerful influence to domestic breeding there is, and you need to find someone who will talk and influence all organizations so that next time you take on congress, one measily guy and his overwhelming support of dog breeders can’t defeat you. Thanks, Andy

Hello Bob,
I have watched your show many times, and I know that you are a great fan of greyhounds. I am a volunteer at Greyhound Angels in Pennsauken, NJ. Today Sunday jan 20,2008 we have arriving 21 Retired racing greyhounds. They will stay the the kennel until the founder Lisa Newbold finds them forever homes. Greyhound angels is a Non Profit Organization totally dependent on donations and volunteer help. We are in great need of a Commercial Size Washing Machine. With some 45 greyhounds residing in the kennel the washer never stops. I was wondering if you could help us in finding someone who would like to donate a Commercial Size Washer to help with our wash load. Any suggestions you could give me would help a lot.
Take care and I hope to hear from you soon. Loretta Greyhound Angels volunteer

Could you kindly provide me with an email or other address that I might use to write to Mr. Barker? Though I am sure he receives many such requests, I would like to ask him if he would be inclined to contribute to our efforts to build a no-kill shelter in our county here in Massachusetts. There are no available shelters that are no-kill, and though we fund-raise and run an adoption clinic every single weekend, after two years we are still operating from a woman’s garage. We have a dedicated crew of volunteers who do everything from cleaning cages to taming feral kittens. and over $40,000 towards out shelter, but need about three times that to be able to purchase the site we need. Thank you, in afvance, from all of us, as well as the animals who could sure use your help.

You were a good game show host. Helping homeless animals is good, but please, help us with that mandatory spay neuter. It’s not going to solve the problem of homeless animals. Law abiding citizens who are responsible pet owners are already supervising their dogs, and they should not have to be punished with an unfair law that addresses them. The ones who are lawbreakers will continue to hide their pets and simply continue with not registering them. So see, it doesn’t address what needs to be addressed. Our city considered this law partially because of you. Now I ask you to please, please help us with this law so that it will be fair to all concerned. It should not be mandatory spay neuter for law abiding citizens. It simply is not fair. Someone out here has to help us amend the law. I believe that you can help us. Please do so.

I have watched Bob Barker on television ever since I was a child because my mother could never get enough of him. I now understand he has become an activist for homeless dogs. This is amazing when a celebrity supports a cause and takes it to a world level.
I am not a celebrity, but I have taken on a cause. My cause is called FIDO (Fight Irresponsible Dog Owners). My reason or shall I say my purpose was to honor my mini Yorkshire Terrier named “Gnocchi”. On August 26, 2008, my dog while on a walk with my older brother was attacked by two stray black dogs and ripped open. My brother had to see this happen and not be able to help our little pooch. The dogs had done this two years ago and were under a muzzle and leash order but the owner did not abide by the order. The incident has received a lot of press coverage and even some television also. I just wanted to take this opportunity to let Bob Barker know that saving homeless dogs is a very important thing…but owning them in a responsible fashion is even more important. Please check out our web page. Thank you very much.

I have been trying to contact Bob Barker as I have also tired to contact someone at CBS to tell them that they made a big mistake putting Drew Carey as the host of The Price is Right. There is a man by the name of Bob Nichols who has numerous emcee jobs in Branson, Mo who is the right man for the job. He has so much charisma as Bob Barker did, he would be a natural for the show and people would welcome him as they did Bob Barker.
I hope that this email gets to Bob Barker and he can explore this man as a replacement. If Drew Carey is to remain on that show, it will die.

I just saw you on the April 16th show. The consensus here is that you have aged rapidly after leaving “Price is Right”. We all think that you should return to the show after Drew’s contract expires. We believe that the show really kept you looking young. You belong there, Bob! Believe me.
Drew is a fabulous guy, but Price is Right is synonymous with Bob Barker and vice versa.
Thank you for the viewing pleasure you have given to millions. God bless you.

To Mr. Barker,
You mentioned about trying adult films. It’s never too late as the following story suggests:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/30229533#30229533
I think the older generation should have wider horizons and you’d be a perfect spokesperson to show everyone that you’re never too old to have a satisfying life.
The trouble with media today is they want to pretend the elderly don’t exist. The adult film community insists on using young people made up(often horrifically) as older performers. This is both wrong and stupid.
So, if you get offered the chance, GO FOR IT! I’d love to see you break down that idiotic stereotype.
Thanks,

Hi Bob,
I just wanted to say that I miss having you as the host for the price is right. Drew Carey is a great host, but he isn’t very entertaining like you! Everyday that you were hosting, I was looking forward to watching it, now whenever I’m able to, I dont want to as much. I still do watch it, but I end up doing something else cause Drew just doesnt keep my attention. I’ve fallen asleep while watching the show. I miss when you always were about to show the price and then stop and ask the person what they’ll be doing with the money; I liked when you made fun of the people, but we knew you were joking, Drew makes fun of people and he doesn’t make it sound like a joke at all, he makes it sound mean. I just wish you would be able to come back and host the price is right!
I love you so much Bob and I miss you as host for the price is right!!
Love,

He is my pal and goes everywhere with me. He is not allowed to roam free and is an inside dog at night, How dare you back a law that would force me to alter him. What makes you think YOU have the right to deside what people can and can’t do with there dogs or cats? Last time I checked , this was still AMERICA! I would love to see a law passed that effected you and something you love and see how all your money can exempt you. I just love how celebrities with lots of money can push their agendas on us, the people that made you rich, and we have no recourse. DON’T ASSUME EVERYBODY IS THE SAME!!!!!!!!

Dear Mr Barker,
I am writing this letter to ask you if there is anyway that The Ringling Bros.Circus can be shut down? I am a Member of the ASPCA which is an orginazation to help prevent cruelty to animals. These animals that are taken from their habitat should never be. Since when do the so called human beings have the right to do this? Animal Cruelty should carry a hefty fine and many years behind bars. I saw on TV the way they treat these beautiful creatures. Hitting them with sticks and dragging a cougar
across the blacktop on his side. This makes me so sick when I see this happening. Is there anything that you can do?
I am a very serious Animal Lover.

O’Siyo(Hello)from Cherokee, North Carolina! I just wabted to say, as a Cherokee, that I am so glad Mr. Barker took a stand on the Qualla Boundary’s practice of keeping black bears caged up for show and money. I have seen them many times…have been in their cages. Although the workers try to keep the cages clean, it’s impossible, with 3 or 4 or more bears together, passing their waste 24/7, not to mention it is just plain WRONG to take any animal out of their natural habitat. It is just as inhumane as caging a CHILD. And yes, as much as I hate to say it, being Cherokee, it is all about money. It is EXPLOITATION. The sad part is, turning these bears back into the wild of our mountains after being caged…they probably will not survive. They will need to go to a good zoo where they have a similation of their natural habitiat, with plenty of clean space to move and live. They will forever be dependent on humans for survival, and folks…that is just WRONG! Creator made the 4-legged, winged ones, and all the creatures of Earth to be FREE. Unlike humans, who have free will of choice, who enslave each other and themselves in various ways, animals do not have the ability of free choice, only instinct of survival. I join with Mr. Barker in ending this type of practice forever…getting laws passed to prevent this horrible crime against nature. Mr. Barker, if you read this…THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!

THERE HAS TO BE STIFF LAWS AND PENALITIES FOR THIS! Anyone interested in contacting members of congress about this/getting nation-wide petitions going?

Mr. Barker would either hate or love this idea. Having separate terms for spaying or neutering pets based on their gender is cumbersome. The only term that is currently used for both is “fixed,” which leads people to quip, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” I think that in honor of Bob Barker’s years of work in supporting pet population control, we ought to introduce a new term to cover both types of operations. “Help control the excess pet population. Have your pets ‘Barkered.’” I’m not being sarcastic. I really think we need such a word. And if I were Bob and had spent so many years devoting time, effort, and finances to a cause, I’d like to think of my name becoming part of the language long into the future.

Thank you so much for the donation to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Your not only saving the whales and our oceans wildlife, but your namesake, the Bob Barker was in a position to rescue the crew from the Ady Gil. Without your generous donation, there would have been no ship, so no rescue. You saved six lives right off the bat.
Thank you again for your support.

i heard you supported sea shepherd and instantly lost all respect for you. their cause is just, but their means are irresponsible and deplorable. he throws the lives of young volunteers unneccessarily into harms way, and then excuses himself from responsibility by saying “they volunteered they have the right to refuse.” that kind of violence is inexcusable, and your support for such an organization makes you a hypocrite.

Mr. Barker:
I have never relly watched the Price is Right although you are a part of our entertainment heritage. When I read you were supporting the Sea Shepherd Society my respect for you went sky high. The flagrant criminal activity of Japan and its whaling for profit industry in a whale sanctary must be stopped and it is through the generosity and commitment of high profile persons such as yourself that will help conservation groups like the Sea Shepherd Society do something where governments refuse to enforce the protections they should enforce in marine sanctuaries. Shame on Japan and shame on New Zealand and Australia for not doing something about the illegal and criminal activities of the Japanese.

Hi Mr. Barker,
I read about your supposed $5 million dollar donation to a wildlife organization and I thought to myself, hey, if he can do that, then he can do anything. I did not understand any organization would need that much money. It is a lot. That is until I did the math and say that 200 people could do fulltime jobs for a year or 400 people could do parttime jobs for a year. Anyway I am 29 years old and the most I have ever made in a year has been $8,300 . I have $48,000 in loans (I never recieved any of my scholarships) at UNM accruing interest and I dropped out of school with 2 semesters left because I have a $5000 debt. I also lost two fillings this year. I have been unemployed for 3 years. I am single African American/German/Cherokee female with no family of my own. Would you like to make another donation? Does $10,00 sound fair?

Bob Barker is a SAINT! I couldn’t give a hoot about hosting game shows – what I care about is that this man commits his time, actions, energy and resources towards the protection of animals and sea creatures that are at the mercy of stupid humanoids around the globe. Whales are the most elegant, smart and evolved of sea dwelling species. Thank GOD for people like Mr. Barker who has the resources to commit to fighting ignorant humans like the Japanese who still slaughter these grand grand organisisms for food. Bob is my hero. He understands that it is our duty to care for and protect these wonderful creatures who share our planet. Whether it’s cats and dogs or whales – they are all subject to our abuse or our protection. I’m with Bob. I LOVE THIS MAN!!!! FRITZ

With Bob Barker giving 5 million to fund the terrorist acts of “sea shepherds” he is no better than them. Mr. Barker is so concerned about a very limited harvesting of whales instead of the millions of children that are sick or hungry. In my opinion it seems that Mr. Barker is no better than a terrorist, paying someone to do a hit job is no better than doing the job yourself. Sooner or later someone will get hurt or killed and Mr. Barker will be responsible. These whalers are not harvesting the whales beyond a sustainable level. How come left wing wackos think it is Ok to break the law and hurt people to advance their views…..
I would love to see the Japanese military put an end to this and arrest barker for funding terrorist.
Just my thoughts.

Good day Mr. Barker,
For years you have said to spay or neutor our animals, great advice but we know that to have an animal looked aftered by a vet. can cost alot, not to mention how many other medical needs are required. These pets endure too much because of the lack of funds many loving owners have. I truly believe I have a soloution. This is A win win for Pets, owners and medical invoices. Should you be interested to here more as this idea is still in an infant stage please e-back………………………….!

Mr. Barker -
I’m not in the habit of asking for help, but I’m begging you to help now. As a friend to animals, you might be able to do something that I can’t. Please look into the Cloud Foundation – http://www.thecloudfoundation.org. They are reporting about horrific and deadly round-ups of mustangs. What is happening to these beautiful and wild icons of the American West is inhumane and must be stopped. Please, please lend your voice in stopping these awful attacks. Thank you so much for anything you can do.

Hi Bob,
Really appreciate all you have done for animals. Honestly I saw the ship the “Bob Barker” and thought of you. And I want to appreciate you now as you are enjoying life. So come out again soon so we can all see you. Hope you are well. Having people like you around makes me realize that there are still some good people left on this earth. Thank you and hope to see you sometime in the near future.

Thank you, Mr. Barker, for your support of the Sea Shepherds. I hope your example will persuade more people to consider our responsibilities to our planet and to our fellow passengers on it.

Dear Mr. Barker;
I am the founder of an all volunteer organization, based in the US, that provides free or reduced cost spaying for the street animals on the island of Jamaica. Our funding for the last three years have consisted of a few small grants which are difficult to get because we do not operate in a first world country.
Animal welfare in Jamaica is not popular. Dogs are owned mainly for guarding people’s properties as the crime rate is very hgh. Dogs roam the streets in search of food, living on the edge of starvation, suffering from disease, abuse, and untreated injuries (often intentionally struck by cars).
I would like to apply for a grant from you to help us purchase a mobile spay unit. It has been very difficult for us to deliver this much needed service due to the fact that poor people in Jamaica do not own cars and are unable to transport their animals to a stationary clinc.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
