Its all just so sad -- there was a video linked in that article by an independant newsperson who was down there, talking to the sheriff, and has it on tape that they were shooting the dogs

The video didn't work for me.

The whole thing is just sick!

They will NEVER be able to explaine to any pet lovers satisfaction WHY those pets had to be killed. I think someone just took it upon themselves to do because they hate animals of any kind. There were a lot of wrongs committed during that time and this was the worst of the worst.

...... and them threatening to KILL the humans too if they didn't leave?

I'd like to hear them explaine that one too and see them be held accountable for that also... It was a state of Marshall Law and all the rules change but to threaten to kill someone who is not doing anything wrong but trying to protect a innocent member of their family?

So, so sad. I can't imagine how hard it was for the families to leave their pets and writing on the wall for people to take care of them, and then to find out later the terrible, cruel acts and eventual fate of their dogs not from mother nature, but from such disgraceful human beings.

I still find what happened at Katrina to be horrible. Why do we need to force people to leave their homes at gunpoint? There's still websites listing thousands of animals missing. All of these animals were stolen from their homes, many passed off as strays by their own rescuers after being taken out of houses. I find it disturbing that some people are proud to have "adopted" a katrina pet. Like their doing the animal some big service and they deserve a reward. There is a rescue in WI with cockers from Katrina, and while they have a tiny online ad so people can find their pets, they are still making a big deal out of rescuing some "trophy" pets from Katrina. If anything disasterous happened to my town, I'd be sitting on my roof with a shotgun preventing anybody from looting away my animals.
