Beloved Pets are Also Helpless Victims

Many people left thinking they'd be gone two or three days, but now their pets are starving. The abandoned animals of New Orleans are either trapped and barking through the night, or left to fend for themselves in the streets. Many tens of 1000's of them are locked in hot, wet houses and apartments or tied up in yards.

Besides the unspeakable human tragedy, all the innocent animals of New Oleans also face a horrible fate.

Many groups and locals are now banding together to help the animals that were left:
