White House won't save Hurricane Katrina pets unless you insist they do so

Please crosspost this wherever you can . Keep flooding the White House with messages until they alert the military to save the animals and allow rescue groups in to rescue animals.

"Rescuers are being turned away in some parts of Louisiana. Reporters are telling us that when all is quiet, all they can hear are the yoweling and crying of dogs and cats that are trapped inside homes starving and scared out of their minds. Please help on Monday!! The plan for MondayMONDAYS PROMISE 1000 CALLS TO THE WHITE HOUSE,MONDAY9/12Comments:202-456-1111......Switchboard:202-456-1414....FAX:202-456-2461.......comments@whitehouse.gov I was told by someone in Homeland Security yesterday, that believe it or not, the way to get this solved is to have 1000 people call the White House to demand that the military go in and save these animals. Now that they have evacuated so many humans, its TIME, NOW, to save their best friends. The death toll of humans is much lower than expected, but not evacuating the pets has made the animal death toll unimaginable. AMERICA DOES NOT ABANDON IT'S PETS WHILE WATCHING THEM SUFFER A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH. This is cruelty to animals, which humans caused by leaving them, then not rescuing them, NOW HUMANS MUST SAVE THEM. FLOODING THE WHITE HOUSE WITH CALLS ON MONDAY WILL GUARANTEE a call from the White House to the field to save the animals. SPREAD THE WORD and thank you for standing up for the animals. You have saved many so far,and,manytocome!cassm07@aol.com for suggestions on how to get this out on forums and chat rooms today, tomorrow and until every pet comes home..."

I just emailed the following message:

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is a plea for a mission to rescue the pets that suffered hurricane Katrina and help reunite them with their owners.

Do you have a dog or a cat? How would you feel if there was a natural disaster and you were saved but no one would save your pet?

Please help save these poor defenseless creatures from drowning, disease and starvation.

Best Regards,
Barbara Woodcox

I'm still sick to my stomach thinking about it. I sent an email as well:
Dear Sir or Madam:

I am appalled and saddened to hear reports that family pets left in homes before Katrina struck have still not been rescued and, further, groups attempting to rescue animals have been prevented from doing so. I fear that many pets have already died of starvation, dehydration, drowning or a number of other medical problems. Many more will die unless an effort is made to get them to safety. Meanwhile, the people who were rescued but forced to leave their pets behind are frantic, imagining the worst.

I beg you to please save these poor animals. They are not in a position to help themselves and so rely on us humans to save them. The world is watching. Please do not send the message that America is prepared to abandon beloved family pets to a slow, painful certain death because they're "not important".

Yours truly,
