Frankly, Scarlett, I Give a Damn

I found that Rhett Butler at Mongabay.com is doing a good job keeping up with the zoo news in the Katrina area.

• New Orleans Zoo escape Hurricane Katrina; Aquarium suffers heavy losses September 9


• New Orleans Aquarium and Zoo to be Closed for a Year September 7
  


• Global Wildlife Center; Jackson, Birmingham, Baton Rouge Zoos OK September 5
  

For those of us with ties to Hattiesburg I also found out that ALL of the animals in the Hattiesburg Zoo made it through Katrina. There are trees down and the animals were understandably stressed, but they made it out alive.
