Barker Gives HLS $500,000 Gift

Barker’s actions have continually reflected his strong convictions. He has refused to do commercials for a frozen food company, a cosmetics manufacturer, and a fast food chain because these businesses were allegedly involved in animal cruelty.

In 1988, Barker resigned as the host of the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants because of the use of fur coats as prizes. He also cited alleged animal cruelty as the reason for his resignation as host of “The Patsy Awards.”
