Considering St Bernard Parish took the most damage and didn't have a large population, I feel safe in assuming it was only him, and that he's already had the piss beat out of him.
The lesson learned was that;
1.People love their animals, its just a fact.
2.Many people will not evacuate a disaster WITHOUT thier pet therefore
3.Saving pets will save human life
Ping to post 222.

Now I'm thinking of "Pickup Oysters."
Wonderful! Great news to start my day! I hope he NEVER gets his job back. He should go into garbage collecting or something. A job where he does not come in contact with any living creature.
Thank you. I am a post 2000 Freeper. I was busy trying to keep my husband alive prior to 4/2001.
I think that guy is an idiot!
I certainly hope that you are right.
Also, hopefully, they will have a REAL evacuation plan and will run drills so that they can carry it off when it is needed.
You are very welcome and I agree. Hope all turned out well for you during your pre-Freeper days.
***BTW, where are those PETA whackos? One of the few times they could be really useful and they screw it up, again.***
Because they're too busy "saving" the snakes and toads.
Here is another article about shooting pets. As horrible as it sounds, I am not sure what choice they had. Also info on St. Ritas nursing home.

Did you see the film clip?? These were not mean pitt bull dogs, that were chewing on bodies and certainly not those described in the article. They were friendly and the National Guard was giving them water and food and the sheriffs office, instead of search and rescue was following the guard and shooting the dogs that the Guard had just given water and fed!!!("more humane" is BS).
Even General Honore addressed it when he said to get cages. I dont think he said kill them!!!
"Animals can't think and don't know why they're miserable and hurting, and often the best thing to do is spare them this suffering."
Oh BS. If there is a chance that those pets might of been saved after the search and rescue, then imo, the humane thing is exactly what the good General said, save the pets and get some cages. They should not of been left to some renagade Sgt. shooting them for sport. That is vicous.
It aint DOG SEASON. Big a smile to someones face that thought they lost everything including their pet. Thanks to Sgt. Minton and his group of sharp shooters, some have.
Probably.
I was only referring to the article I posted where there were reports of dogs and human bodies. I never saw a film clip nor mentioned it being more humane. I agree about doing all you can do to save the pets. My only reasoning for posting that article was to show that there might be a reason some were taking the actions they were. I was in no way condoning the actions of those who found it a sport or even just an easier way to deal with the dogs. With out being too graphic, I will just say that I was thinking about how I would feel if it were my relatives that were out in the open.
Thank you. No, it did not turn out well. My husband died April 22, 2001.
They can sense someone thinking bad thoughts.
Because Honore is not stuck on stupid while the Louisiana muckety mucks still are.
Being able to have your pet with you would be an important support to morale after having been through a deadly and devastating flood (I can't yet believe these folks who are saying that fewer than 200 have perished due to that flood).
