"An Awful Howling" -- animals dying in New Orleans

Fox News | 9/8/05

A Fox reporter in NO was asked on air what it was like now in New Orleans. She replied that aside from the horrible stink from sewage the air is full of the mournful cries of cats and dogs dying of thirst, hunger, and injuries as they stand on roof tops and drag themselves along the roadways. They don't know why they have been left to die. So sad.

Please... also give to animal rescue organizations! Thanks.

What a photo that is.

Kinda hard to view at this time.

Oh, playing the "breed" card, are we?

That's taken at Bayou Tortue here in Louisiana.

Some weren't allowed to take their pets
along. Some were.

I don't know if it was the ones that
went to the Superdome that weren't
allowed their pets.

Recent photo? Your dog right?

[Hot Tabasco]

Um... aren't animals natural foragers that eat or drink some pretty nasty stuff to survive

Excellent point! You are right but how long can a dog or especially a cat tread water before it is able to set its feet on ground in order to begin its hunt for food? As of today there still appears to be at least 4 feet of water and in some areas more...........

Is that your dog?

A day in the life of a pet. Unconditional Love.

#25 was taken in the Spring/Summer of 2003. #71 was taken on Christmas Day, 2002, shortly after this one:

It's so great to see so many loving, loyal and responsible pet lovers here...I could never leave my "babies" either, and I have a Chow and a Great Pyrenees. I would have evacuated way before the storm hit, and I guarantee that my dogs would have been with me.

"Is that your dog?"

My dog, my roommate, and best friend...

[Uncle Vlad]

Where's PETA? Are you kidding? There's no money for them to make in this situation. Move along, there's nothing to see.

4-week old baby squirrel she rescued after the hurricane. The animal lover who has 11 cats, 12 tortoises, three dogs, two chameleons, and five children, has been keeping the squirrel warm on her chest, and will be intregrating the squirrel into the family.

Yea right! 11 cats? If I was that squirrel I'd bite her quick and hit the road! LOL!!!

I can't imagine my dogs crying all alone. So sad.

[Hot Tabasco]

Are the 2 photos you posted of the same dog?

[packrat35]

My wife rescued a baby quirrel years ago and that was his favorite spot also.

[Joe 6-pack]

Yep. In the first one, he's soaking wet after a little swim, but they're all of the same dog.

You will always hear one for the "Airborne" here.
