Animal rescue after Hurricane Katrina
*
In the aftermath of disaster, we hear in the media that people are searching frantically for "loved ones". To some, "loved ones" will also include animals. I was thinking about that yesterday.
Some reading this may wonder: At a time like this, when so many people are dead and suffering, how can you even be thinking of animals?
The reality is, animals (pets and otherwise) are suffering too.

Elspbeth, I have been wondering the same thing. People fighting in food lines...food not being plentiful enough...who will even consider feeding the animals? So sad.
Animals, and particularly pets, are so dependent on humans for nearly everything - from shelter to nutrition, companionship, health care. I feel that we have a responsibility to take care of pets during natural distasters, since we've domesticated them and taken away some of their power of choice. What a beautiful video, made me cry!
