In this podcast, we follow several pet-rescue volunteers through the devastation of the Ninth Ward and Gentilly neighborhoods of New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. www.YouTube.com (Watch the video here.) They climb over houses, cars, debris, and run through a city that looks like Hiroshima, carrying 40-pound sacks of food and buckets of water… all to feed and rescue pets left behind. It is horrific, and heart-lifting to see these valiant, selfless efforts… volunteers giving their heart and soul to save animals in the disaster zone… However feeding is not always enough. And there is too little support for these volunteers to do more. www.YouTube.com (Watch the video here. Directed by Ride Hamilton.) www.RideHamilton.com

Haven’t you heard? The government didn’t know what was happening. George Bush was in Crawford giving a birthday party for John McCain.

There’s no excuse for leaving pets behind in a disaster, and the relief groups that ask you not to bring your pets to a shelter should change their tune. Most pet owners consider their pet a part of the family ….

All over the world, there are too many unwanted pets in shelters that are killed, if they don’t find homes. Nobody should ever buy pets, until it’s possible for every shelter pet to find a home, so no shelter pets will be killed. Everyone should ADOPT PETS and save a life that way.

I am white, and American, and I believe they planned it. Racial cleansing. It was a very dangerous area before the storm. All black and very dangerous and very poor. So it was to the gov’ts benefit that the levee “accidentaly” broke and flooded their homes. And incase anyone was planning on coming back, just leave them for a week, with no food, water, bathrooms, ets. And THEN they will really go wherever the bus takes them. BUSH IS A PIG.

I lived in Louisiana and the troopers were told arrest anyone who gives you trouble.
Most pets were removed from their owners at evacuation points.
We learned after this to openly lie about having a pet in the car.
To never tell them the truth about anything due to the pets safety.
Why because people lie to each other kill each other and are just horrorific to each other.
Pets are the support many of us rely on during the rough times in our lives.

Hey Folks;
I’m about ready to drop out of a certain relief group over pet issues. They run shelters … then tell people to leave the critters BEHIND. CRAZY 🙁 🙁

they should have rescued the animals first before the people.

I really want to rescue animals in disaster. But in my country, they don’t care about pets, they just rescue people. I cried when i watched this video.

@Indio156
The were forced to leave their pets behind b/c there wasn’t enough room at the Astrodome and everywhere else they randomly sent the evacuees. They even split up families sending them to different shelters around the country. Get your facts straight before you criticize.

@Indio156 In a disaster state, there are not always resources to allow the evacuation of animals. If the owners are going to a shelter, many do not allow pets. It becomes the burden of organizations like Muttshack to rescue who was left behind.

@Indio156 You should have read up a little on Katrina before you posted impugning New Orleans pet owners. They were not allowed to take their pets with them upon rescue. Get it now?
A law was passed a few years ago so that they will be now be allowed to.
