From the News: Ukrainian Animal Evacuations Continue

The war in Ukraine is now in its second month, with no end in sight.  At the present time, about one-tenth of the country's population has been driven from their homeland and taken refuge in surrounding countries.  Nor are all of those refuges humans.  

As the reach of the war spreads, an increasing number of animals (wild and domestic) are also being moved out of the country.  Some of the larger or more difficult animals to move are sheltering in place (though there are concerns about food supplies); some zoos have even remained open, giving people at least a little taste of normalcy.  For others, though, evacuation has proven essential.
