"Given the tumultuous times we live in, I find it significant that local
news and network news feature programs like Dateline and World News Tonight
continue to recognize the importance of animal issues," says Gretchen Wyler ,
VP of The HSUS Hollywood.
The Nineteenth Genesis Awards are made possible in part by our corporate
benefactors: BoDog. The HSUS protects all
animals through legislation, litigation, investigation, education, advocacy
and fieldwork.

feature film, and while 'Fahrenheit 9/11' raised the heat on the political
front, 'The Corporation ' was equally hard-hitting about the impact of big
business on animals and the environment. Entries are
submitted by members of the news and entertainment industry or by the general
public. The non-profit organization, which celebrated its 50th
anniversary in 2004, is based in Washington, DC and has 10 regional offices
