- 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
Almost half a hundred snakes--from the domestic varieties to the constrictors to a klatch of poisonous ones--a near hit by a snake that John is milking, hundred pound pythons and a John Walsh snake story to end all snake stories: a nocturnal encounter with a 26-foot anaconda that nearly took John's life. Myths that tarnish the snake's reputation and how you can do your own variant on the Big Game Hunt by going out--precautions duly taken--to search for "The Hot Ones." Also, what to do if you're bitten by a poisonous snake. And how to keep a pet snake happy.
