The judge was correct to deny the request. Besides, three detailed sweeps of the building located no pets.
Really? Last I knew the firefighters were not allowed to go into the building either. Feeding the cats from a bucket truck... terrified the animals. Just idiotic endeavors like that infuriate me.
Coco the cat, Mimi the cat, a dog left in a crate...
I get there was perceived significant risk, but the owners knew exactly where their pets were located.
If the building was safe enough to enter three times to look for pets why wouldn't it have been possible to gather and remove important and valuable items belonging to the residents? Is it because when you are looking for a hamster the building angels prevent a collapse but when you are looking for a family bible they don't?
