Poor, helpless animals, victims of Katrina

Who cares? In the news here there's been little or nothing about the pets left behind in the wake of the disaster. I love animals and when I read this, I got so depressed:

"Many of those animals sit forlornly on the rooftops of flooded homes, slowly starving to death as rescue boats ignore them, looking for people instead. Some have even tried swimming to boats, only to be rebuffed by the rescuers."

But thankfully, help for animals is coming:

"There are hundreds of people on the ground now, who are trained in emergency animal rescue disaster response, just waiting to get into the areas hardest hit," Betsy Saul, president of Petfinder.com, told CNN on Monday.

I am so grateful there are people who care!!!
