Animal Oscars

Tune in to Animal Planet this Saturday at 5 pm (ET/PT) to watch the dazzling 20th annual Genesis Awards show, which honors those in the news and entertainment media who have helped make the world a better, or at least more aware, place for animals.

In addition to honoring TV producers and filmmakers, the awards show also honors heroes of Hurricane Katrina, including HSUS volunteer Jane Garrison, who helped rescue 1,300 animals in the five months post-hurricane, as well as TV networks that aired in-depth reports on the animals that were left behind.
