Bob Barker wants to spend more time on animal issues in retirement

I don't mean to moralize, really, but if there's a lesson to this man's career, it's that we can advocate for animals in the most unlikely places.

"To kick off his retirement, Barker said he will "sit down for maybe a couple of weeks and find out what it feels like to be bored." Then he plans to spend time working with animal-rights causes, including his own DJ&T Foundation, founded in memory of his late wife, Dorothy Jo, and mother, Matilda."

"But when it comes to saying his final TV goodbye, Barker said he'll do it the same way he does each day on "Price": "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered."

1. I will always remember Bob for that.

I loved the price as right as a kid, and he totally drove home the point about spaying and neutering. hes a good man.
