United Activists for Animal Rights
United Activists for Animal Rights is an animal rights group led by its president Nancy Burnet and based in California, United States. It was founded in 1987.[1]
United Activits is supported by television personality Bob Barker,[2][3] and the group exposed animal cruelty on the set of Project X and in several other media projects together with Barker.[4] The group, again together with Bob Barker, were also accused (and named in a libel lawsuit) as having engaged in a two-year 'vendetta' against the American Humane Association for allegedly condoning animal cruelty.[5]
Bob Barker has also helped fund other animal rights groups, including the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, whose new vessel Bob Barker carries a helicopter named after United Activists' president Nancy Burnet.[6]
