[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been through a lot of city evacuations and this is a huge issue. At least 50% of people are animal owners, but shelters don't take animals too. So people either don't evacuate or have no where to go. Who would leave their dogs behind to die? And if they did leave their dogs behind to die, they should be prosecuted. [/quote]

Well that's crazy. If it's an evacuation situation and it's go or die and the dog can't go, that sucks but the family can't stay behind because the dog has to. I have loved many dogs but damn, I'm not dying for one. [/quote]

A relative in Katrina had to make this terrible choice.

She evacuated with her three kids and elderly grandfather and DH -- small car and no room for dogs.   They drove for hours until they could find a place to stop.  At the time they had no idea there would be flooding -- left the dog at home with food and water.  She really had no choice.  THe levee broke three blocks from her house and they had over 12 feet of water.  They never found the dog and can only hope he got out.[/quote]
