Humane Society Honoring Nigel Barker

The Humane Society of the United States will honor photographer and America’s Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker for his efforts against the Canadian seal hunt at the Genesis Awards on March 28th.

The Genesis Awards honor news and entertainment media and professionals for their efforts in promoting animal rights’ issues. Nigel is being honored for his photography exhibit, A Sealed Fate, which documented all aspects of the seal hunt. A Sealed Fate exhibit was on during July in New York City.

Nigel’s photos will be the highlight of the Genesis awards, with several of them decorating the awards ceremony and after party at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

“Nigel Barker was not satisfied with just lending his name and celebrity to the Humane Society of the United States’ ProtectSeals campaign,” senior vice-president of wildlife John Grandy said. “The exhibit of Barker’s photographs from the seal nursery exquisitely captures the beauty and innocence of being on the ice with these gentle animals. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to acknowledge him and his efforts at one of our elite events.”

A big congrats to Nigel. It’s nice to see that all his hard work is being recognized.
