Noted and forwarded link to Born Free. They might have some good ideas for relocating the animals still in need of homes.

Good for Bolivia. The country has been in the news as of late as not on the best of grounds that mesh with western countries' policies. But this is good news and hopefully the rest of the world can take a clue from this poor small country's actions.

I say poor and small, but noow Bolivians are tall and rich...
