On the recordJune 16, 2011
I rise today to speak about Cathryn Hilker on the occasion of her 80th birthday. Cathryn is a resident of Cincinnati, OH, who has done incredible work over the last 30 years to help save the world's cheetah population. On Monday, June 20, 2011, the Cincinnati Zoo will be celebrating her 80th birthday and honoring her commitments to cheetah conservation. Cathryn's work with cheetahs began in 1980, when she brought home a young cheetah cub named Angel. Over the next 12 years, Cathryn and Angel toured the country, giving live presentations to more than 1 million people and appearing on hundreds of television news programs all around the world. Through the Cincinnati Zoo's Cat Ambassador Program, which Cathryn Hilker founded, she and her team of trainers continue to take cheetahs and other endangered cats to schools to teach students about how we can help protect endangered species. Today, because of Cathryn Hilker's commitment and the support of her Angel Fund foundation, the African cheetah has a future in the wild. Mr. President, for her commitment to cheetah conservation and her numerous contributions to the Cincinnati Zoo and the community of Cincinnati, I would like thank Cathryn Hilker and wish her a happy 80th birthday. ____________________
