The Genesis Awards are a way to THANK all the people out there that get involved in animal advocacy by filming, photographing and stepping in to give abused and neglected animals a voice. From our country's slaughter houses, to trying to save whales in the middle of the ocean.
It is amazing to see so many people willing to risk their own lives and using all of their available resources to stop animal abuse. Hosted by the Humane Society of the United States. Celebrating Animals, Confronting Cruelty.
Here is a small list of the some of the winners!
THE COVE won for best film documentary. The Ellen DeGeneres show, Bones, Hotel for Dogs, UP, HLN, Death at a Factory Farm (HBO), Whale Wars, Family guy (YES! Family guy!)Time and Oprah Magazines.
Tippy Hedron won a Lifetime Achievement award for her work with Large cats and her large cat sanctuary "Simbala." You would recognize her as the lady in the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds".
