Can you believe?

Can you believe pets displaced by Hurricane Katrina still are homeless and waiting in shelters for rescue? That’s one cat among how many? And how many dogs? And ferrets, and snakes, and gerbils, and horses, and HOW MANY FUCKING MORE are still waiting and hoping and slowly dying from euthanasia, abandonment, loneliness, or any number of associated maladies stemming from one single natural disaster?

Oh, and that’s a blog run by folks at the Conway Area Humane Society shelter in Conway, NH. That far away and still they languish in destitute despair one year after the event.

There should never be another catastrophe of any magnitude that leaves so many animals in utter misery and rejection. Next time, save them all. What has happened to these is unforgivable and has undoubtedly broken a great many spirits. If all that can be accommodated are humans, don’t bother.
