WTG, DC! Good waste of time and money! IDIOTS! BRING BACK THE WHIG PARTY!
They could not even get the people out much less the animals.
Clearly, the Senate has too much time on its hands.
Just keep passing more and more federal laws costing everyone more and more money. Now, considering some PEOPLE die in floods, which resources should be diverted to saving animals as per the federal mandate? Oh, no problem, just raise federal, state and local taxes.
I'm at a loss for words.....
I can hear it now:
Flood/hurricane coming, "See those 1000 head of cattle, they're my pets...."
I'm absolutely outraged that the Senate wasted time on this trivial legislation.
Don't they know there are STILL baseball players using steroids?
Here, officer, hold my bamboo viper.
"requiring local and state disaster agencies to take pets and service animals into account in their emergency planning."
I hope there are some giant loop holes in this, I don't want to see helicopters brought down by panicked Dobermans.
A better law IMO would be that homeowners, after making an informed decision should be allowed to return to their property immediately after a storm.
This is not the fault of the federal government or the Bush administration.All of these problems would have been avoided had it not been for the total incompetence of the mayor and the governor of Louisiana
We would be much better off if Congress were put on recess for the next couple of decades. What our worst enemies haven't been able to do, Congress does on a daily basis.
This seems like an inconsequential issue, and you know what, it is. And that's just how far off base those idiots in Congress are. They actually think we couldn't get along without them. God how I'd love to show them how off target they are with that one.
I would rather save cats and dogs than the thousands of Looter Guys.
More feel good happy stuff dumped at the local level. Shelters, antsy children, someone else's nervous animal, fecal and urine matter mixed in a doubtful hygienic situation...
Boy, can our representatives create more problems...
(And yeah, I've evacuated once with four cats coming with me.)
Also hope I'd have the sense to get out early if need be.
Oh boy, I can see the Humane Society of the U.S. now, this will be a big fundraising coup for them (See we got this bill passed to save your animals).
What they aren't telling anyone is that they raise approximately $50 million annually and don't spay, neuter, feed or house any animals. They left the dirty work during Katrina up to the local shelters, and used the disaster to raise more money. They are despicable.
They spend their money lobbying to end fishing, hunting, medical research on animals, sending anti medical research animal testing, hunting, and fishing propaganda to the school systems across the USA. They also are a real enemy to agricultural interests, want to put all cattle, horse, sheep, etc. farmers out of business.
Be very AWARE and concerned anytime they are backing something. I wonder how much money will be earmarked in the bill for the HSUS to study saving the animals?
