Kinky Friedman, Kinky’s Celebrity Pet Files

Animal Radio® once again welcomes Kinky Friedman - not only a man of the people, he’s also a man of the animal kingdom! Kinky is also running again for the Governor of Texas. However, this time he is running as a democrat as he can’t afford to run as a republican! Kinky is a man who wears many hats — not just a Stetson. Aside from being a politico, folksinger, and mystery author, he’s also a longtime animal advocate and feels as passionately about his pets as he does about legislative reform.

Kinky has written a new book, “Kinky’s Celebrity Pet Files.” In his new book, the Kinkster writes about his famous friends and their pets you’ve never met, each with a story as offbeat as Kinky himself. Kinky believes that the only types of books people are buying are pet books and celebrity books. So how can he miss with a pet celebrity book!

Kinky received a great response from celebrities he approached to be in his book, but was surprised when Dillon and Don Imus turned him down. However, that is why there are Volume II’s of books! Part of Kinky’s platform is when he becomes governor is that this book is going to be mandatory reading in the public schools and that all teachers receive a $3,000 salary raise across the board. Kinky also stated he would offer Vladae the spot of Lieutenant Governor – you heard it here first!

Kinky states that the two things that came out of the book are just how high of a place that these great and famous people put their animals; and his real desire for him to make Texas a no-kill state. This means no killing cats, dogs, horses and even people!

Kinky runs the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, which is currently home to many dogs, pigs, donkeys, horses and cats, which are available for adoption. He also still has his pet armadillo named Dilly. Please check out the Utopia Ranch for more information.
