Logan's Run - Christmas just seems appropriate for this story.

 
If you're looking at the picture on the right and your heart is breaking?  I'm right there with you.  A couple of years ago I came across this photo during a Google image search for coatimundis.  Immediately I clicked on the image to find out more about the story behind the photo.  To my shock, this damage was committed by a human being who'd dumped this poor little guy into the snow where he fended for himself during several winter storms for EIGHT DAYS!
  You can read all about Logan's rescue, his fight for survival, the amazing people who cared for him and his tear-jerking recovery.
  After I'd found the site and read Logan's Blog I really wanted to contribute and find out more about his current condition.  Because the site is so unorganized, it's really difficult to find out what's happening with him as of this writing.  I've sent several emails through the site but have yet to get some kind of response (that was during '07 when the blog was more active).  Deciding to post this whole story about this poor little coati also prompted me to send a few more emails in hopes of finding out what ever happened to Logan.
  I'll keep you posted if I hear anything.
  To read this story in a more organized fashion than the original site allows you to, I'm posting links to the various pages in an order that's easier to digest.
  One word of warning.  The photo gallery can be hard to look at for some people.  If you have a hard time looking at images of injured appendages?  I suggest you steer clear of the photos.  To get yourself fired up and motivated to help centers that do this kind of rescue work?  By all means look at the photos.  Nothing will piss you off faster or make you take action quicker than seeing what occurred to this little guy because someone just decided to toss him out the window.

Looking for Logan and His Rescue!

  Sorry to be a downer during this time of year, but Logan's battle for survival is a reminder of how we should all be looking out for each other.  And that includes the smallest of us.  That includes Logan.
  Take care of each other.
