Thaws Out After Winter Ice Storm
by Angela Grimes, Director of Operations
I am happy to say that the recent ice storm
has left WRR fairly unscathed. The fallen branches have been
cleaned up and fed to sheep, goats, primates, and non-native
birds. The thankfully minor fence repairs on the domestic
cat yard have all been done and we seem to be back to a more
normal operating system, despite this bitter cold.
My hat goes off to the staff and interns who
were marooned at the Kendalia sanctuary for three days, one
of which without electricity. They worked day and night to
feed, provide dry hay, do heater checks every three hours
to be sure warm houses are maintaining a comfortable temperature
and cook oatmeal, beans and rice and other protein and carbohydrate
rich foods to keep everyone well cared-for through the storm.
Their dedication is much appreciated by everyone, and on behalf
of the animals, we thank them.
