Outraged doggieping
Anything we can do about this???????
If you can get close enough to a stranded and starving dog to take a clean shot-why can't you try and rescue it ?
NOW THAT'S NEWS!! !
Man bites dog!
"Say, little Coco isn't the same since we left her with the LOOTERS!"
There is no excuse for this. Alley Cat Allies and other animal welfare groups are busy right now trying to help stranded animals. There are enough people who care about animals that no one has an excuse to kill them.
This might be unpopular, but our National Guard need to be looking for humans, not taking care of pets. It's taking away valuable time to look after the animals. Granted, the animals are probably better behaved than some of the humans there...
You know as long as people are just being pulled out of their houses and having their guns seized everything was OK but this will piss the post 2000 freepers off!
That's not humane. That's just stupid.
Just my opinion, and I'm not trolling to get folks mad or upset.
BTW, where are those PETA whackos? One of the few times they could be really useful and they screw it up, again.
I for one don't want ONE SINGLE Federal worker risking their life for a DOG or a CAT. Volunteers from the SPCA and other pet loving organizations who wish to do so are welcome but not our Troops.
Our local news in Central Fla. showed a lot of rescued dogs on a vehicle. I can't believe they are shooting them!
Here's a little different slant on pets in emergency situations.
I love my dog and cat. I donated to pet relief before donating to human relief.
I would do anything possible to take them with me in a rescue situation.
BUT, if I absolutely could not take them, I would shoot them before I left. I would not leave them on their own.
Sorry to say, a lot of those animals are worth more than the thugs and snipers that were loose and few of them were shot. Why?
Seriously, if I lived in that putrid flooded zone I'd be mighty grateful for a boat ride out, but if they told me to leave my dogs so the Sheriff can shoot them, I'd stay.
Some people probably think that's a stupid idea but they don't understand the bond between people and dogs. If they want people to evacuate, take the damn dogs too. You can get new furniture. But the thought of leaving your dogs to be shot would haunt you for the rest of your life. At least it would for me.
The sheriff is shooting the pets because he enjoys it
His rationalization is it is more 'humane'...
The nature of man is evil...and his mind tends to rationalize
that evil..
The decent acting folks of the National Guard are a God sent
as are their officers..
God Bless and keep them safe...and watch their backs..
imo
Over at the Times Picayune website, there are a lot of people who are posting messages about what animals need picking up, etc.
http://www.nola.com -- go to the Pet Rescue link.
Fast-moving info there, sort of unwieldy forum, but lots of on-the-ground info.
They're all trying desperately to rescue as many as they can, there is apparently an order that at the end of 3 days (by now that means the end of tomorrow I think) police/etc. are going to start shooting (though I see from this that they're already doing so).
Minton is mentioned in a number of the posts. They have a video of him shooting some animals.
One woman's dogs were killed right in front of her when she was reluctant to evacuate.

They shot our dogs!" Miller, a 54-year-old housewife, said of her mixed pit bulls, Angel and Hooch. She had gone inside to collect clothes and personal papers when she heard it.
"Boom! Boom!" Miller said. "Hooch came in and had blood all over him."
