- 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
Horseflesh--from the finest subtleties of dressage with Karl and Cindy Mikolka to the flea-bitten nags that go for $15 at a local horse auction. (We bought one for this show; it now has a happy home.) A long look at a "polka-dot horse", the Appaloosa, and a segment on just how much it costs to keep a horse in your own backyard. Problems that demand attention: inadequate care by well-meaning owners, PMU farms that extract birth-control drugs from horses, but abuse the horse senselessly, and the shocking Mustang drives that take place in our Western states.
