The bad economy is sure to take a toll on all sorts of charitable fundraising, including for animal-rescue programs.

For instance, ticket sales for Saturday’s fifth annual fundraiser for Lions, Tigers and Bears have been slow. The 93-acre facility outside Alpine in eastern San Diego County has 13 big cats and a variety of smaller creatures.

Organizers have sent out a final plea for the Saturday event: Don’t let the Wall Street bears hurt the big cats.

Tickets are $90 for adults, $25 for children 12 and under. Go to www.lionstigersandbears.org for more information.
