Readjust your limited mindset. This is the most obnoxious thing ever
posted.


I understood Dan's concern for pets. As I listened to interviews with
people that refused to leave N.O. if they couldn't take their pets, I
asked myself if I could leave my pets. My answer is no, I don't think
I could leave them. I felt badly at T.V. shots of abandoned dogs.

I find your "mindset" rather limited and disturbing. Dan did include
his concern for people. But people are more resourceful and the help
when it did arrive took care of people, but no help was available for
the pets.

I am much closer to my 2 dogs than I am to people. I know people can
care for themselves most of the time, pets have little chance in our
civilization without someone being responsible.

The people problems could have been avoided if there had been
transportation made available and good local leadership in the days
before Katrina hit. Pets had to rely on their humans, the humans
failed to take care of themselves so the pets were left to fend for
themselves in a very hostile environment.

I am with you Dan, Having said your heart goes out to the people, the
pets are left on their own and need our concern.

Welcome back! g
