Bob Barker Donates $5 Million to Help Save Whales

Longtime TV host and animal lover Bob Barker has made a sizable donation of $5 million to help save whales threatened by hunting.

Barker donated the funds to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which used the donation partly to buy a new ship called the Bob Barker, which saw action Tuesday in the Antarctic when it made contact with Japanese whaling vessels.

Barker's gift also funded a new helicopter for the organization.
