The howls and yelps and barks that pierce the eerie silence of the New Orleans night. New Orleans residents abandoned thousands of pets in their hasty retreat, leaving many to fend for themselves in the ghostly streets, with others locked in houses and apartments or tied up in yards, according to local animal specialists.
All over the city, animals face a horrible fate. The locked-up pets are starving. In the famed New Orleans aquarium, more than a third of the 4,000 fish have died because there's no power to pump oxygen into the tanks. In the zoo, a skeleton staff of 12 is struggling to feed and get water to 1,400 hungry and thirsty animals with limited emergency provisions.

Humans first. Animals second.
Thank you.
Yes, I agree with Arshana. Human first, animal second.
But, mind you. This opinion doesn't make me in any ways 'less animal activist-ish". Haha. It's just, that is what it's supposed to be.
Besides, most animals adapt with their surroundings better than human. Remember what happen in Acheh?
Now in New Orleans, I sure hope those fellas are doing well.
And, that's the reason why we should never put animals in cage or whatsoever. Humph.
Oh yes, I wonder.
When Tsunami Acheh happened, we see many international organizations contributing to help the victims. Regardless of religion.
When this Katrina hurricane occured; what steps do we take?
@ati
i'm wondering about that too...hmm.
