- In New Orleans- Thousands of
pets died- thousands others were
rescued but many have not found
their owners. Thousands of others are still out there roaming the
streets dieing from disease & starvation. These are family Pets. Many of these
will end up in shelters & be put down due to the overcrowding
- Many people also died- as they refused to leave their pets. They
refused to be rescued.
- And many more are grieving & blaming themselves that their pets may
have died.
