Zoos,  aquariums face the ax in NY, elsewhere
By William Kates, Associated Press  Writer - Tue Jan 13, 4:10 am ET

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Even porcupines could  get pink slips in the slumping 
economy as states consider cutting or  eliminating funding that supports 
zoos, aquariums and botanical  gardens.

As part of his plan to help New York address a potential $15.4  billion 
budget shortfall, Gov. David Paterson has called for cutting  funding for

the Zoo, Botanical Garden and Aquarium Program from $9  million to $4 
million in the state's 2009 budget and for eliminating  funding in 2010.
