Though much of Nancy Burnet's activism has been low-profile, she's completely dedicated her life to helping animals in need. She is the current president of the United Activists for Animal Rights.
In 2022, she and her organization (including Bob Barker) funded the construction of a wild donkey sanctuary in California, dubbed DonkeyLand. The sanctuary's purpose is to keep the animals away from possible abusers as well as out of traffic, where many of them have been involved in deadly accidents. Now, hundreds of donkeys roam can free on their own turf. According to their website, they are not open to the public: "We believe in humane treatment, compassionate care and respect for all animals, especially their right not to be exploited for human purposes."
She is also the director for Barker's nonprofit organization DJ&T, which offers free or cheap neutering and spaying services for dogs. Barker founded DJ&T to prevent canine overpopulation, a cause that Burnet has also thrown her support behind.
