We know the people who have suffered in this last hurricane will be receiving help from Federal, State & private organizations & thats all wonderful & necessary! But there is a large populace that receives so much less recognition & aid, & that is the collective animal victims of these natural disasters. http://www.noahswish.com/ is a site that allows us to donate to animal organizations to help displaced animals receive shelter & care after these disasters, and help being reunited with their families, if possible. Please contact & help, now more than ever, after these series of hurricanes have left so many homeless & hungry. Thank you so. [ send green star]

Cosmic Rhino R.	September 09, 2005 7:21 PM Kathy G. Sunday, 4:45 PM Hundreds of Animals Dying While Groups Await Permission to Administer Urgently Needed Aid Project Hope, a project of the international animal protection organization, In Defense of Animals (IDA), is calling on state officials to allow animal protection groups permission to enter disaster stricken areas of Mississippi. The group, which has set up a rescue and recovery effort at the County Fairgrounds in Jackson along with Mississippi Emergency Response for Animals (MEPA) and the Disaster Animal Response Team (DART) to help animals affected by Hurricane Katrina, is prepared to venture into areas affected by the storm and deliver medical assistance and supplies, yet is being halted by the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). "We understand we could be facing dangerous situations and that precautions need to be taken. We appreciate measures being taken to ensure our safety," says Project Hope Director, Doll Stanley. "But we are sitting here in a parking lot with a truckload of supplies waiting for permission to utilize our resources while animals are dying for lack of food and water." The Project Hope team secured a generous donation of supplies for the rescue operation from PETsMART charities including food, carriers and crates to house animals at the rescue center, as well as to transport animals to shelters and foster homes. While the group awaits permission to use the highway to help animals in need, news media outlets are reporting distraught evacuees being forced to leave their beloved animal companions behind and some even having animals euthanized for fear of their welfare once turned over to authorities. Please contact the following state officials and politely urge them to allow IDA and other animal protection organizations into stricken areas and administer their much-needed assistance. Be sure to thank them for taking necessary precautions, but let them know that it is time to allow rescue workers who are willing to risk their safety do what they came to do.

Cosmic Rhino R.	September 14, 2005 4:58 PM KATRINA ACTIONS . . . 3:05 PM Eva K. Mississippi Chickens Need Your Help! 2:54 PM At 8:00 a.m. this morning, Farm Sanctuary rescuers arrived at our New York Shelter with 725 chickens saved from a farm ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in rural Mississippi. At this broiler chicken facility, which is under contract with Tyson Foods, a tornado spawned by the hurricane completely destroyed one warehouse shed and severely damaged two others. The chickens, like millions of farm animals across the South following the disaster, had been left to die or be bulldozed into mass graves. Farm Sanctuary caregivers are providing the chickens urgent care at our hospital facilities, as many are in critical condition. All 725 are being individually checked for injuries and other urgent care needs. This morning’s checks have revealed broken toes, severe gangrene in the feet, extreme dehydration and lack of nutrition. Many of the birds have not had access to food or water for days since the hurricane, leaving them weak and lifeless. One bird’s eyes are swollen shut from trauma to the head, another has a large head wound, and two are suffering from seizures and clinging to life. Caregivers are administering IV fluids, shots of Banamine (a pain killer) and Dexamethasone (a steroid) and heating pads to revive them. Farm Sanctuary is still on the ground in Mississippi continuing search and rescue efforts this week to save additional farm animals including pigs and goats reportedly displaced. We are in need of donations immediately to help save these 725 chickens and to fund our ongoing rescue efforts in the South. Please make an emergency donation today to the KATRINA FARM ANIMAL RESCUE FUND and help save hundreds of animals from the devastation of animal agriculture and this natural disaster. CLICK HERE now, call 607-583-2225 ext. 221, or mail checks to Farm Sanctuary, PO Box 150, Watkins Glen, NY 14891. Your donation to the KATRINA FARM ANIMAL RESCUE FUND will fund emergency transport of farm animals to safety, emergency rescuers, caregivers, and additional cleaning staff to accommodate the incoming 725 animals, the purchase of emergency supplies including towels, kennel pads, heating pads, rubber gloves, box fans, ceramic brooder lights to keep the chickens warm, and water fountain heater bases. You can also help by sending needed supplies to Farm Sanctuary at the address above. Over the weekend, Farm Sanctuary – working with Animal Place, HSUS, Black Beauty Ranch, and other animal protection groups – investigated devastated areas, searching for surviving farm animals in need of rescue and negotiating the release of animals from area farms. Rescuers reported mass graves of dead birds, demolished warehouses confining tens of thousands of birds, and fields littered with dead chickens – and live chickens running for their lives. Sadly, Tyson and other factory farms see the animals as commodities rather than living, feeling beings. “Clean-up” crews are sent to bulldoze damaged buildings, with live animals still trapped inside, and to discard the debris and bodies as trash. "We saw a massive open grave containing thousands of dead chickens crawling with maggots. Shockingly, 21 were still alive, huddled in the corner of the pit," said Kate Walker, a Farm Sanctuary rescuer on the ground in Mississippi. When power systems fail, animals trapped by the hundreds of thousands in intensive confinement systems are particularly vulnerable, put at risk by stifling summer heat, toxic ammonia, and limited or inaccessible food and water. Millions of farm animals have died and untold thousands remain in peril. According to the latest agricultural census, Louisiana and Mississippi together annually slaughter over a million pigs, a half million cattle and calves, and nearly one billion chickens raised for both meat and eggs. Please help us end this misery and the trauma of Katrina today for as many farm animals as we possibly can. For each individual who is lifted from a grave or a hurricane-torn building, your gift will make a difference.

Well that's a little overstated 4:56 PM I wouldn't say that the Red Cross HATES animals - that's just being dramatic. They just don't care about them. I'm on their list of volunteers, but I wouldn't have joined if I knew they were the ones telling people they couldn't take their pets on the bus. Glad I only donated to the ASPCA before I went broke.

Thanks Catherine! 6:51 PM I have been emailing the Sheriff of St Bernard Parish. I am guessing this is the same dept. where this Minton neanderthal dwells. I havent received any replies. You can email them and say that IF Minton works there, that he should be fired and that we want Animals treated with love and respect. That they should NOT be killed. But be courteous, be polite, because making these people mad isnt going to help the Animals. It may in fact, get more of them killed.

We entered at 9 a.m. with Councilman Mark Maderi, operating under the authority of St. Bernard animal control officer Cecile Trog. Before today, 17 days after the disaster, no official assessment had yet been done. Best Friends reports that assumptions that most of the animals had drowned or otherwise perished are INCORRECT. Thousands are alive -- albeit in desperate conditions. We estimate that they have at most 3 or 4 days left to survive. Our assessment included Chalmette, Mereaux, Arabi, and Violet. We saw many animals who had been rounded up by military people, who have been doing their best to look after them on an unofficial basis and feeding them MREs. But these animals are still emaciated and dehydrated and need urgent medical attention. Major resources are needed to address the needs of these animals immediately. They are on the streets, locked in houses, everywhere. We urge and implore the state and federal authorities to mount a massive effort to support animal rescue efforts to save these household pets in need. These needs include: - Additional emergency shelter locations, since the primary shelter at Gonzalez is already full to capacity - Veterinary medical attention - Efforts to locate the animals' families.

Cosmic Rhino R.	September 16, 2005 5:40 PM Matt D. 17 DAYS? 17 DAYS? 3:20 PM I thought Animal rescue groups already WERE in St Bernard Parish???????? 17 days? It took those lazy, bureaucratic S.O.B.'s 17 DAYS to decide "Oh, you know...maybe we should let those groups in, you know, the ones that want to rescue the Animals who were affected by the hurricane 2 and a half weeks ago....wonder if they're still alive?" Makes me want to vomit. Lets hope they can save those Animals before its too late. Prayer: God, please help those Animals to be safe and to sustain their strength to live, long enough so that they can be rescued. On behalf of many of your human animal children who commit the evil act of leaving your other Animal children to die, I apologize. Forgive them, for they know not what they do. They need the light of your truth, Jesus. Many of us have been thinking of the precious Animals from day one, my Lord. Your beautiful four legged children are loved by many. God, please bless the members of this group and their Animals, for their hard work in trying to save your precious children. May God Bless all of us, on Earth and in Heaven. Amen.

Cosmic Rhino R.	September 22, 2005 12:29 PM Carolyn M. HSUS: DISASTER UPDATE: ANIMAL RESCUES CONTINUE IN RAVAGED AREAS 7:55 AM Humane Society of the United States DISASTER UPDATE: ANIMAL RESCUES CONTINUE IN RAVAGED AREAS *********************************** Dear Carolyn, As our Hurricane Katrina response heads into its 20th day, our Disaster Animal Response Teams continue their quest to rescue stranded pets while we brace for the potential arrival of Hurricane Rita. Here's the latest update on what's happening in Louisiana and Mississippi, along with new photos and a video of our teams on the ground: SLIDESHOW: https://community.hsus.org/ct/L11s5u61vmbD// VIDEO Windows Media: http://stream.realimpact.net/?file=realimpact/hsus/katrina/katrina.wmv&type=wmv RealPlayer: http://stream.realimpact.net/?file=realimpact/hsus/katrina/katrina.rm + Three weeks after Katrina struck the region and the flood waters rose in New Orleans, our rescue teams are doing all they can to reach stranded pets in time. We've rescued nearly 6,000 pets and other animals so far. Many animals are in remarkably good shape, but others are severely dehydrated or have wounds or chemical burns. For some, we are arriving too late to help. While individual National Guardsmen and military units have helped us, the federal government has refused to formally make animal rescue a top priority. + The temporary animal shelter at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales, Louisiana, remains at capacity. To make room for new rescues, we've transported more than 1,500 animals out of the facility to other shelters. Our top animal sheltering professionals are finding the task of running the massive facility to be the most challenging assignment of their lives. Despite the federal government's lack of response in helping with rescues, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Public Health Service have been a tremendous help at this facility, as have officials from the state of Louisiana. We're still in need of volunteers to help with the task of managing what has become the nation's largest animal shelter! https://community.hsus.org/ct/Ld1s5u61vmbK/ + Amid the stress and hardship here, our staff and volunteers are witnessing the most incredible reunions of pets and their people - more than 400 so far. At our temporary shelter in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, a bell near the entrance is rung each time an animal is reunited with her owner. When that bell rings, cheers and applause break out through the facility. + While our on-the-ground response remains our top priority, we have begun looking toward the future. Yesterday, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and The HSUS announced the creation of a reconstruction fund to rebuild animal shelters damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Each organization is donating an initial $2.5 million, for a total of $5 million. We hope to eventually build that fund to at least $10 million. To stay on top of everything that's happening in the region, please bookmark www.hsus.org and be sure to visit it frequently. We are adding new stories, information, and photos every day. For all you do for animals, thank you so much. Sincerely, Laura Bevan Incident Commander HSUS National Disaster Animal Response Team P.S. Do you have a question about our disaster response for animals? Then please read our frequently asked questions: https://community.hsus.org/ct/Sp1s5u61vmbJ/ If you don't find your answer there, then call us at 1-800-HUMANE-1 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Eastern time, or reply to this email (disaster@hsus.org) with the topic of your question identified in the subject line.
