Bob Barker funds $800K elephant flight from Toronto to California

[Number1]

Toronto Star

I love animals as much as the other guy but come on. This is utterly ridiculous. He must be going senile.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I read elephant fight.

 

[gevorg]

They'll probably need the An-225 plane, but maybe the An-124 will do.

I read elephant fight.

you broke the first rule...

 

[Newbian]

Did he make sure to spay or neuter it first?

 

[RedCOMET]

At least it won't be funny like Operation Dumbo Drop.

Hey, if you've got it .. more power to him. Maybe he knows the end is near?

 

[Red Squirrel]

He'll be at the destination airport when they put the air plane gate down and the Elephant wont want to come off. He'll say "Come on down!"

Some people with lot of money have spent it on much worse things, I say this is a great move of him. Crazy to think just how expensive it really is though.

I think Bob Barker is an awesome guy though. Nobody can say "A brand new car" as epicly as he can while also describing all it's features.

Bob Barker = Elephant Man

 

[AlienCraft]

Dude likes animals. He wins. Awesome Bob can cut a check like that.

bob barker never did that. that was always the announcer, not the host.

 

[sdifox]

He wants the animals to be in a warmer place than Toronto. I can't say I disagree with him, will miss the elephants for sure though.

ya he never said "come on down" either.

 

[Pardus]

Will the TSA have to inspect the elephant for plastic explosives?

Will they be serving elephant size peanuts during the plane ride?

Will the elephant be allowed only one carry one?

Why would it need another one when it already has it's trunk with him?

We had elephants at the Toronto zoo?....

Ya, I've heard of it, but damn the zoo is far out in Scarberia.

Almost half of Toronto falls under Scarborough you know.

Yeah, he's probably got a garage full of appliances and new cars they forgot to give to contestants.

Hmm I always thought it was him, been a long time.

Inflation sucks. Used to be Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed would have transported your elephant for $400,000.
