You have made up entire 'choice' scenarios in your head... and it's all fiction. Agencies with the talents to handle animals are asking for donations to ramp up and head down there, human rescue people are already there and more are coming. This isn't about choices, it's about calling ALL hands to help.
No, because there are those that do not understand the magnitude of this crisis and think that there is enough manpower and equipment to save the people, so its time to save animals.
I am just trying to remind them that saving people comes first. Once all the people are safe, then rescue the animals.
