    Wednesday the porcupine has been axed and Sparkie the Bullfrog may be the next to go. Where and why?

    Question #102421. Asked by zbeckabee. (Jan 18 09 1:25 PM)

    		Budget constraints in the State of New York may force drastic cuts to the budget of the Bronx Zoo and the New York Aquarium. To highlight their plight, the Wildlife Conservation Society produced a brief PSA (public service announcement) showing Wednesday the Porcupine being let go. At the end, Sparkie the Bullfrog awaits his turn.
    And I have to say, what a funny story this is (ok, sad for the animals but still funny).

    		You got here just before I did, Edmund.
    Note that it's SPARKIE the African Bullfrog.

    I'd first found a sunblock called Bullfrog Sparkle that has been discontinued. Ha-ha!
