It's time to set these weenies straight and make them understand that an animal's life is secondary to human life.
At least the dogs don't shoot when you try to rescue them.
I never said it wasn't, but any help for these animals would be appreciated.
They are pleading for help for every living thing, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Exactly. If ONE human dies because these moonbats were saving dogs and cats, they should be charged with muder (depraved indifference).
People like those in the civic center are secondary. /sarcasm.
True liberal sentiment. I really wish my people would learn this. Dogs and cats can swim, birds can fly. and dogs will drink from a toilet bowl. My only real concern is disease from dead animals.
That is not at all the point here.
People are as attached to their pets as they are to their families.
The entire scene here is an ongoing tragedy that gets worse and worse instead of better and better.
Aside from the fact that 9-11 was a deliberate attack on the U.S., this dwarfs 9-11 a thousandfold.
Did any of you geniuses stop to think that thousands of rotting carcasses of dogs, cats, horses and livestock is going to add to the toxic soup of the flood waters? There are thousands rescuing people and I'm sure anyone snatching a dog off a rooftop would also grab any people they find there. If one animal rescue team pulls one baby out of a house they've saved more humans than all you keyboard critics put together.
You are a sorry soul if that is how you view it. I view it as the best of what it means to be human.
The stature of the person is shown in how far he reaches out to help the helpless, including animals.
The ones raping and pillaging are the "weenies." I would and have save an animal before I would help that human trash.
This is true, but the history of child welfare in this country was started by the animal welfare organizations of the late 19th Century:
"In 1867, Henry Bergh, a former United States ambassador to Russia, was the founder and first President of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York City......Burgh brought by special warrant to the Supreme Court of New York, the case of a severely abused child, "Mary Ellen" and proved his claim that the child's custodians had beaten her cruelly and that she should be brought under the protection of the court. The resulting court action and publicity led to the founding of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children."
There is a difference between people and animals, to be sure, but the line is filament thin when it comes to the "innocent".

Agree...screw the animals. We need to save people!
Given the way some of those "humans" are behaving-I'm just not so sure of that.
Should people have pets at all? They eat food that could be given to starving people.
I agree. Given what is going on with HUMAN BEINGS in New Orleans, who gives a damn about some doggies?
Yeah maybe your right maybe but pets are sometimes all a person has and they human to some but what gives anyone the right to kill a helpless animal, I too was a pet owner and I can so feel for those who had to leave there pets it almost like loosin' a child and I have both,
You are a small minded ass! Humanity suffers from a lack of humaness. Over and over again, studies reveal that those with a lack of compassion for animals (of all kinds) are the most likely to end up in our criminal justice (or injustice) system after they've violated the rest of us. It's about so much more than simply rescuing or caring for animals. Disparaging those that have compassion for animals is an incredibly ignorant thing to do. It's a shame that a dog or a cat would love even you!
