I hate to break it to you, but at least in St. Bernard Parish, police are now shooting people's animals right in front of them, if the people will not evacuate.

I really hope that isn't true. I would see that as a direct attack, and would most definitely fight back.

WOW, they just asked the NO police chief this question, and he just this second said he was NOT allowed to say or comment on that! CNN.....

I'm afraid it is true. Bringing my post on another thread over here:

Despite such political wrangling in the city, cops in St. Bernard Parish made it clear Wednesday that they weren't interested in taking no for an answer. Nor were they taking dogs they deemed too big or dangerous.

That left forced evacuee Marie Miller on the verge of tears.

"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."

Miller, husband William and 20-year-old daughter Shannon were taken to a local warehouse dubbed Camp Katrina, where they received tetanus shots and other medical treatment from Mid Georgia Ambulance Co. of Macon, Ga., a private company that volunteered to help.

Shannon sat on her red Marlboro duffel bag, clutching her Chihuahua, Sassy, who was small enough to save. Crying, she recalled what had happened less than an hour before. She didn't see the shot. She just knew it was to Angel's head.

I emailed Greta tonight about this, but I don't think she got to this. Maybe she mentioned something about animals, I think there was a little something, but I was too busy on this thread to pay much attention to the tv.
