The sad part is that even if the busses had been provided for the people days ahead, their pets wouldn't have been allowed on them. I saw a news report where when they were taking people off those overpasses, there was a lady with a little white poodle and she had to put it down to get on the bus. The little baby ran around frantically, trying to get back to his Mommie.. I cried like a baby over that.

Someone that somehow has connections told me that Mayor Nagin had asked the govenor DAYS ahead to evuacuate the city, forceably if they had to and she said "NO"! Everything he asked for, she told him "NO!". If she actually said "NO" to all he said she did, those people and pets all suffered and or died needlesley and she has a LOT to account for. She need NOT run for re-election!
