Dozens of Chihuahua mixes rescued from a suspected hoarding situation in Houston are now being cared for by BARC, rescue organizations and foster families after authorities removed about 80 dogs from what advocates describe as filthy, unsafe living conditions.
Why this matters in The Woodlands
The story of Donald Trump the buffalo may seem like a distant novelty, but it has a surprising connection to The Woodlands community. As a master-planned community with a strong focus on conservation and wildlife preservation, the tale of a rare albino buffalo becoming a sensation in a Bangladesh zoo may resonate with local residents who value unique animal attractions. The Woodlands is home to the George Mitchell Nature Preserve and the Woodlands Wildlife Removal Service, which work to protect and preserve local wildlife. While the story of Donald Trump the buffalo is unfolding in a different part of the world, it may spark interest among locals in learning more about the conservation efforts and exotic animal exhibits available in the Houston area, including those at the Houston Zoo, which is just a short drive from The Woodlands.
