Stars Show Support For Wildlife Week

Born Free USA — a national animal advocacy organization — has declared June 20 through 24 their third annual Keep Wildlife In The Wild Week, designed to encourage people to protect and stop the exploitation of wild animals in their own backyards and around the globe. Among the celebrities supporting the third annual event are soap veterans Linda Dano (ex-Rae, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, GENERAL HOSPITAL, ALL MY CHILDREN) and Julia Barr (ex-Brooke, AMC), THE BRADY BUNCH mom Florence Henderson and Ricky Gervais.

During Keep Wildlife In The Wild week, a variety of family-friendly education materials, actions and more will be available at www.bornfreeusa.org, including a wildlife photo contest, celebrity thoughts about why this issue is important to them, and an online auction.
