“FEMA has told us we cannot take the pets”

[jessica_jbird]

so Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, right?

The paper today said that peopel are being ordered to evacuate, and will be arrested if they don't.

FEMA apparantly is telling families that they cannot take one cat or one single dog on the boats they are evacuating in.

i'm not sure, how can you put a value on life. life is life, whether its a cat, a tree, a person, a fish.. they're all alive, who's to say which is worth more? all life is worth the same in my opinion, and some of those people have pets they've grown to love, being forced to leave them behind is wrong, not just because its cruelty to animals, but its cruelty to the people being torn away from something they love.

I once did an entire research paper on how PETA is full of shit.

They're only doing this for public attention. I'll be $20 they only have one truck down there.

fuck animals and fema

Yeah it's terrible.

What's even more terrible is the atrocious humanitarian catastrophe of thousands of people who are being accused and judged for "looting" while they're in contaminated stagnant flood water without food or water in 100+ degree weather. Not to mention the little to no effort on the state and federal government's part to get people to higher ground and their unforgivable slowness to reacting to this disaster.

Hahaha, I love you JB.

Food? Take it.

Televisions? Fuck you. It's not as if they have a house or working electrical socket to plug it into. That's the looting they're talking about, retard. The people stealing nikes and guns. Guns that they're using to hold firemen and their families hostage or hijack the rescue boats.

And why "fuck you" if I may ask? Just because according to your narrow privileged point of view it's morally wrong, you have the right to sit in judgment of people in the middle of a humanitarian catastrophe? Oh please, give me a fucking break
