Retired Price is Right host Bob Barker is a staunch supporter of animal rights, ending shows with the message, "Have your pet spayed or neutered." For this reason, producers never offered fur coats, leather or anything associated with animal cruelty during Barker's tenure as host.

Recently, Barker has expressed concern for the show's recent prize selection, which has included tickets to SeaWorld and the Calgary Stampede, an event with a history of animal abuse. The Calgary Stampede prize package included six pairs of leather boots. Though Barker doesn't blame current host Drew Carey for these cruel prizes, he believes someone should have put a stop to them.

The Price is Right doesn't need to offer prizes associated with animal cruelty, and the program has remained popular for decades without these prizes. Please sign the petition to convince executive producer Michael Richards to honor Barker's wish for cruelty-free prizes on The Price is Right.

Due to a recent decision by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), women runners will no longer be eligible to set world records when participating in events alongside men. This decision will affect current and future records, invalidating British runner Paula Radcliffe's 2003 record set during the co-ed London Marathon.

IAAF justifies this decision by the fact that male pacemakers improve female running times by two full minutes. However, no woman other than Paula Radcliffe has come within three minutes of her world record.

All major marathons worldwide hire pacemakers to run a portion of the race to keep participants motivated and up to speed. Nullifying women's accomplishments in light of male pacemakers is disrespectful and discouraging to female athletes.

Please sign the petition to reverse the decision to invalidate female world records in co-ed running events!
