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 Activists was supported by television personality Bob Barker,[2] [3] who was in a long-term romantic relationship with Burnet from 1983 until his death.[4] The group exposed what they considered their findings of animal cruelty on the set of Project X and in several other media projects together with Barker.[5]
United Activists for Animal Rights, Burnet and Bob Barker were sued by American Humane Association in 1989 for libel, slander and invasion of privacy.[6] It was finally settled by the insurer.[7]
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.[8]
