- Series Description
An animal show for grown-ups as well as kids. For the last ten years, first with the Massachusetts SPCA and since then with the London-based International Society for the Protection of Animals (whose American office he then headed), John Walsh has been point man in the effort to control the natural and man caused horrors menacing the planet's wildlife. Every week on "Walsh's Animals" deals with both domestic and wild animals, in an effort to provide people with information to help save endangered wildlife and to correct domestic abuses. Footage of the ways animals live in the wild combined with tips on animal care are a regular feature of each show. See October 1973 Prime Time for cover story. Series release date: 10/1/1973.
- Program Description
All kinds of poultry, not just good on the platter but delightful as pets: from the "sheepdog of the chicken kingdom", the golden brahma, to the black bones of the white silkie to easy-care poultry such as the tiny button-quail you can keep in a vivarium. This show features an exclusive once-only interview with a game-cock raiser and a discussion of the illegal practice of cock-fighting. Also, a lingering view of a six-foot long white peacock, one of the earliest of pet fowl. And a colorful panoply of pheasant feathers. Exotics all--in your own backyard.
