(There are several aid programs for the zoo going on, and apparantly
coalition forces were asked to make sure they didn't bomb the place.)

The North Carolina Zoological Society has set up a fund for these animals.
Concerned parties can mail donations to:

Aid to Baghdad Zoo
c/o North Carolina Zoological Society
4403 Zoo Parkway
Asheboro, NC 27205

For more information, you can visit their web site.

Updates on the situation will be available at www.AZA.org and www.nczoo.org as information is obtained.


To anyone who is also concerned. These are wonderful sites and I hope they will keep us updated as to their progress. As they are well aware - speed is of the essence here and I hope they are able to rescue most of these animals. Aid would be welcome I am sure.
