Baton Rouge - In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco has issued a request to the National Wildlife Refuge to import 5000 Canadian beavers to help repair the damaged levee breaches in New Orleans along the 17th Street canal. "The Army Corps of Engineers has failed to fix the problem in a timely manner, maybe due to the relatively difficult nature of the situation, but nevertheless, good ole backwards Louisiana thinking will help jerry rig, I mean solve another issue.", Blanco said
