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

The fancy cats, bred for select characteristics. The common house cat--in this case, a scruffy rag-bag named Bill--and how to care for them, with a conversation featuring world-renowned cat specialist. Dr. Jean Holzworth. A selection of "cat heroes," lions at play in the wild, and big cats in the studio--leopards, a mountain lion that likes to play and a lion cub that's trying to grow up. Also, the need for spaying feline pets--and what happens if you don't.
