I live in FL and am a member of the Disaster Animal Response Team. It is a known fact that for every animal a person has decreases the likelyhood of evacuation by 50%. Many of the people that died in Charlie were senior citizens in mobile homes that refuces to leave before the storm because they would not leave behind a cat or dog. Those animals are often the only family these people have. And I'm like them. No one is going to make me evacuate and leave my critters behind. Period.

Fine. But accept the consequences of your decisions. Don't expect rule changes to benefit you and hurt everyone else.

Don't expect someone to choose between a human life and your pet's life in an evacuation. You can forego that situation by advance planning and self-evacuating your household.
