A group of evacuees from New Orleans arrived in Milwaukee this afternoon. Many of them had their dogs.
One man had 6 dogs and said that the NOPD wouldn't help him, telling him to abandon the dogs and walk out. He said that the NOPD was trying to starve people out, refusing to even give them water.
The 82nd Airborne got him and his dogs to safety.
"He said that the NOPD was trying to starve people out, refusing to even give them water."
I just saw some footage on our local news of the people debarking the plane in Milw. While they did not mention dogs or pets, they mentioned about some people coming only with garbage bags of possessions. However, I did see at least one doggy face at the top of the ramp.
Yay!
And let's hear it for the 82nd Airborne!!!
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.
