Saturday, September 06, 2008 5:52 PMGustav: Harder Hit SE Louisiana Needs Help
KINSHIP CIRCLE ANIMAL DISASTER AID NETWORK
http://www.kinshipcircle.org/disasters -- Communicating during disasters to
mobilize volunteers, supplies, and other resources for animal victims.

9/6/08: Gustav - Harder Hit SE Louisiana Needs Help
Kinship Circle Is not directly coordinating volunteers for this effort.
See VOLUNTEER CONTACTS below.

==================================================================
1. Volunteers, Food, Money Needed For Left-Behind Animals
==================================================================

Reply To:
Wendy Guidry - 985-373-5937, mrjames1@earthlink.net (at earthlink.net).


LT PHOTO: 8/30/08, Evacuation Route: Feral Cat Consortium rescues this small lost black dog. RT PHOTO: Houma, LA: Feeding starving kittens and cats.

Southeastern Louisiana Update:
Orleans and Jefferson Parishes (New Orleans and Metaire): Gustav mostly
spared New Orleans and Jefferson Parish, where local animal agencies
assisted in pre/post-hurricane animal aid.

Lower Parishes - Terrebonne (Houma), St. Mary (Morgan City), Lafourche:
As of 9/5, Terrebonne (harder hit parish) does not want outsiders to
feed/rescue animals and Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Dept. has even issued an
arrest threat. St. Mary Parish, however, wants additional aid. Lafourche
Parish is contained, with most residents back and few animals in distress.

Floodwaters are not the problem this time. Displaced dogs and cats are. They
need food and water. Many returning residents would feed cats if food were
donated. Most want dogs rescued from the streets -- not euthanized.

Volunteers Needed In Southeastern Louisiana To:
1. CONTACT MEDIA ABOUT GAPS IN THE LSART (Louisiana State Animal Response
Team) SYSTEM IN SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA.
LSART managers seemed unable to assess storm impact within their parishes
four days post-Gustav. Residents were gone and most left animals behind. The
system broke down when authorities themselves evacuated, with no
electricity, internet... Media attention may correct the fallacy that all
animals evacuated safely with no emergencies in southeastern Louisiana.

2. TRANSPORT LEFT-BEHIND ANIMALS OUT OF MORGAN CITY.
With no animal shelter and just one animal warden, animals -- like the
sweet, elderly boxer the Morgan City sheriff’s dept. asked us to take -- we
need drivers + a place willing to accept a small number of dogs.

3. SEEK FOOD DONATIONS + FEED LEFT-BEHIND ANIMALS.
People are needed to coordinate cat/dog food donations. We also want
volunteers to comb St. Mary Parish streets (in coordination with local
sheriff deputies) to determine where people require pet food drop-offs.
