Here is what I am hearing/reading about animal rescue: Groups have entered the area to look for animals. There are thousands of farm 'factory' animals who need rescuing--everything from chickens to pigs. Horses, cows all kinds of animals need help.
Dogs were not allowed on the buses nor are they allowed in most shelters. There is a movement to create animal-friendly shelters and a few exist in certain areas. At times they shelter the animals in a place that is near the human shelter. 136 dogs were rescued from Gulfport in 1 day.
I don't want to create dissension so I have been refraining from discussing my real feelings about what is behind the disgraceful response to people in dire need. The good news is that now those in charge are trying to make up for it: the public outrage due to the good reporting of the media has put pressure to bear on our *emphasis* elected* officials and that is democracy in action, folks. Thank heavens we still have free speech. It doesn't take long to email your thoughts to elected officials in Washington, state senators, etc.
