Well done volunteers, the world needs more of you and less of those uneducated idiots that tell people they can't take their animals. Well if you can't take your animals, make your own way with them. Refuse to go. I despair of humanity.

There is no way in hell is leave my dog Zoe behind. Either of take her with me, or if the fuckers wouldn't let me, I'd stay there with her. Heck id take a bullet, any day for Her, and I know, without a doubt, she'd do the same for me.

Just days before Katrina hit, an entire neighborhood got together to capture a wild black kitten that they had been feeding. They got her to a shelter, the shelter got her onto Doris Day's Life Flight of rescued animals, and the kitten wound up in California ... where we found her & adopted her. She has become the heart of our home & loving companion to my kids & I will always bear a debt of gratitude to those who saved her.

My pets are like my kids and I just couldn't leave them. God Bless the people and animals who had to go through that.

They were left behind cause our pet laws..no animals were food is served...animals must be on leashes and have identification while in public, no animals on public transportation and so on and so on...They didn't use their brains and realize that these were unusual circumstances..only after Katrina did the government pass a law saying all those laws DO NOT apply to areas facing a disaster & ALL states are required to provided evacuation to all pets and owners or face no FEMA relief.
Stacy Phillips, at 05/22/2011 18:09, says:
We do it to finally....Only took 600,000 animals to die in New Orleans for us to finally realize that something was wrong... We now have the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Safety Act which requires states seeking FEMA assistance to accommodate pets in their plans for evacuating residents facing disasters, so now shelters, planes, buses and rescue helicopters have to rescue the pet w/ the owner instead of rescuing the owner and telling them no pets allowed..

Wow what heartbreaking nightmare for the dogs and their families!!. And shame on the government for alowing this!! Please tell me they have evacuation plans for pets since the Katrinas Tragedy
Stacy Phillips, at 04/05/2011 00:13, says:
I still dont understand to this day why they wouldn't allow pets on the evacuation planes/buses....they are family members too...I would rather walk/swim out of a flooded ruined city to safety w/ my Pomeranian than leave her to die in the city that was deemed inhabitable...I GO THEY GO!!!!!

I guess my hubby and I would be shot!! I couldnt imagine leaving my five doxies to die! They are family! Bless those that saved what animals they could. God will bless you in return for helping his animals.

I am sorry to tell you that the animals were forbidden in shelters. The troopers and sheriffs took household pets and shot them or turned them loose to die from exposure. No one willing left a pet behind during evacuation they were forced at gunpoint to get on a bus and leave a family member behind. I lived there I survived Katrina and I didn't allow anyone to take my service dog from me I would rather have died then leave Rex behind. Dogs make life bearable period.

why were the pets left like that it's disgraceful i would die before leaving my cat
OMGmarielle, at 01/13/2011 03:03, says:
pets are people too . its like leaving my babysister on the street waving goodbye and goodluck ....horriable .

If I was driving with my animals in the car and I was stopped at a bridge and told "No pets" I would turn right a round and find cover for me and my animals to hopefully, with God's help, survive the storm. My animals are all that keep me living. I'd rather die with them than without them.

Someone said PETA all the way well FUCK PETA they don't do damn thing they get. Lots of money and for what petitions anyone who really looked Into ways they want to help would donate to a NO KILL animal shelter. Or to an organization like aspca or wspa or if u look at my vids the shelter near me really needs funds and there are about 281 animals there I am a junior volunteer there

No one should ever forget such tragedy during Katrina and many other disaster that people and pets have to suffer so much. God Bless all the volunteers, all of you are such wonderful people. I wish I can go out and help those helpless animals but since I can't I do my best to support animals rescue in our area, STRAY RESCUE OF ST.LOUIS did help saved some of Katrina dogs. I'm so glad that the new law will allow people to take their pets during the disaster.
