With Bob Barker's retirment and in the news so often lately will he go down as a saint for his crusade against pet over population or has he just trumped others hard work for his own self centered ego?

It's just a question I have no opinion. This was a topic at our a family dinner recently and it really got people going! Someone said how he was a saint for all he's done with pet over populations and the other person responded to the contrary claiming he stole others thunder.

Certainly pet populations can't go unchecked. I guess is his cause a sencere one of a PR ploy? I would love to see documentation on the success before and after. No one can say regardless of his motives the actions were and are noble.

saint...lol he does have a grant program where it gives money to shelters....i don't remember the site. its a good message and if a rich man gets it that MILLIONS of dogs and cats die each year...and its just a round about numbers as not all shelters turn in what happen to all the animals that walk in their doors.... so yes saint....to the homeless dogs and cats. and the shelters that get grant money. and the ppl who heard it and get their pets done. if everyone would say it maybe it would sink in....just like there are no bad dogs just bad owners!

The man is like 101 yrs old (lol) if hes doing anything for his own self centered ego, good for him. I think hes great for the work and awareness that he has brought on the over population of pets, how in the world is that self serving unless hes running some kind of puppy mill I dont know about and hes making $$$ while everyone else is fixing their pets and hes the only one with puppies or kitties....

I've never seen anything that indicates he's self-centered about his cause, or anything else. I agree with him--there are all too many litters of puppies born because of fence-jumpers, and we had many of them dumped around us when we lived in the country, just because the people didn't want them, and were too lazy to find them a home. Not having dogs spade or neutered means all too often that their puppies will be put to sleep when they are picked up by animal control, which is inexcusible if it could be prevented.

We are all sinners. No one is a saint. I think he was passionate about the cause and he should be applauded for getting the message out.

He's just a man.... why the bitter taste in your mouth?
"Help control the pet population, HAVE your pet spayed or neutered, goodbye everybody!" was his standard line.

In other words:
Truth or Consequences?
Good question: He always ended his show with "Spay or Neuter your pet". Did he mean to "have it done" or "do it yourself". He could have been delivering a very devious message!

well regardless of what his motivations might or might not have been, he was doing a good thing. i wouldn't say either saint or sinner. just that he was trying to do something good.
