- 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
Rats, rodents and their relatives. A look at an incredibly varied class of animals, probably more denigrated than most: from a sleepy woodchuck and its secrets of hibernation to an ominous experiment with 5,000 white mice, fat and happy in a crumbling social structure. Notes on Ernie the Norway Rat and on the World's Largest Rodent, the capybara. A trip to a cloverleaf to look for muskrats and other rodents and a visit to a playful family of beavers hard at work. The trapping of rodents for fur and the senseless cruelty it entails.
