Some folks had asked about the animals in New Orleans, and I said I'd post whenever I heard back from my animal keeper friend. Well, she finally got through via satellite phone last night. There are 4 people holed up at the Species Survival Center.They're being very quiet about it and have not left the compound, for fear of what's going on "outside." They have generators and food and water. They're getting another load of supplies on Tuesday via helicopter. The zoo appears to be okay, with no loss of life reported. The aquarium might be a mess, as it's believed that they lost power, and as such, many of the tanks may have gotten too cold or too hot or lost oxygen levels. But, there's no definitive word yet. Megan lost 2 cranes in the hurricane. Another one is sick right now, and there's no vet treatment available. So, all they can do at this point is to try to make her comfortable.
Overall, she seemed in great spirits. She said she and the others that are there are just focused on taking care of the animals and settling in to live there as long as is necessary. And, that's the update. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:172647 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
