Maybe you got laid off or found yourself with a 5% pay cut, but you still want to enjoy a little rest and relaxation away from the old homestead.  So you might embark on a road trip, and like approximately 8,000 other visitors a day, end up checking out the cheery denizens of the Bronx Zoo.  &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately the critters are feeling the effects of the crap economy as well:&lt;p&gt;&quot;Deer, bats, porcupines, foxes, lemurs, caimans and antelopes will be pink-slipped as part of the 114-year-old zoo&#39;s effort to cope with a $15 million budget shortfall.  &#39;We plan to close four exhibits, four areas of the zoo . . . and we will have to reduce our collections in order to handle the cuts that we already know about,&#39; said Bob Cook, executive vice president of the Wildlife Conservation Society, which runs the zoo...The shuttered displays were chosen based on maintenance costs and popularity among visitors, zoo officials said.&quot;&lt;p&gt;Oh really?  I for one will be quite sad that they&#39;ve chosen to ship out the World of Darkness, Rare Animal Range and exhibits of the Arabian oryx and blesbok.  Who doesn&#39;t love night owl monkeys?  &lt;p&gt;But I digress.  Buried below all of the chest beatings and wailings for the lost creatures of the night is the note that &quot;Mayor Bloomberg&#39;s budget cuts will slash the city&#39;s contribution by $1.7 million...Another $13.3 million is being lost because of reduced donations and cuts from other levels of government...&lt;em&gt;This will mean human layoffs also.&lt;/em&gt;&quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Linda Petock, Vault Senior Producer&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
