Will work for....HAY??!?

Sunday, April 26, 2009

We all know the economy is bad. It has been bad for a while and will probably continue this way for a good time longer too. Millions are out of work, houses are being foreclosed on and times are some of the hardest for hundreds of thousands of families, including the porcupine. (Yes I did say the porcupine.)

The Bronx Zoo is foreclosing and laying off dozens of animal exhibits which will put quite a few animals out of the street (hopefully not literally though). The zoo has faced a downturn in attendance, memberships, and corporate sponsorships, and the city has also slashed funding to the zoo, which has now lost almost $15 million this year alone. The effect this has means HUNDREDS of animals including deer, foxes, bats, porcupines, lemurs, antelopes, and caimans will be out of work, and out of a home. The zoo is currently looking for other zoos and animal sanctuaries to take the animals.

Which brings up a question, if all dogs go to heaven (according to Disney), do all lemurs get unemployment??
